Yes, the LS6 seems to be durable well past 100k, as expected.

I was just remarking to Adam driving back from Long Island last weekend in the CTS-V. I said "you know, the LS6 is really the best thing ever." And of course I knew I was over-exaggerating but I then put it in context. Think of all of the 400 hp engines from the past 12-15 years. Now think about how my CTS-V has 119k on it and it may as well be a Honda Civic as far as engine maintenance goes. That's what I meant by my comment.

Actually, it's better - no timing belt.

4th gen Camaro SS

Half the price as the Z06 might have been an ok place to start. This one has a turbo, though. $7500

That 1LE looks brand new. If I won the lottery, it would be on a list of cars I bought...

That may be but it doesn't have bang for the buck.
