    Oil level was completely full? I can't believe that put a hurtin on C6Z. Hope you get it fixed under warranty man...

    I have been reading on the Corvette forums, and even though the Z06 has a dry sump, it's kind of a budget dry sump. So still better than wet sump, yet not as good as a dry sump that racers use. Because of that, you can get oil starvation under high G's, and more than likely that's what happened to my car.

    I also noticed a lot more particles on the magnet on the plug when I changed my oil. So until it gets checked, I really don't know how severe the problem is.....but the signs all indicate that I have damaged the bearings, which has happened to other Z06s under similar conditions.
