Really?
Ever been to their test area in Connecticut? Hmmm...........I didnt think so. Their testing area is state of the art and on par with any of the major car magazines like Motor Trend. Their testing is stupid scientific.
Usually, it is people who's cars get trashed in the reliability dept that hate Consumer Reports Magazine............certainly understandable.
But hey.....some people dont mind having thier car down for a few weeks/year. Doesnt work for me............

Uh... Consumer Reports is a joke (anyone with a clue knew that years ago)..

Thats right.........the LS2 is a model of reliability!!! Except according to Consumers Magazine which gave it the old big black dot in a few categories, including "engine". Real nice car but reliability for the fail...............
Hey........I have a guy across the street who has a 450hp twin turbo Audi S4 thats a few years old and he's trying to tell me how reliable they are..........also for ftf

Wow that almost took away all those memories of laying on a garage floor working on mustangs for days upon days during the summer as they came back from the dragstip in peices.

Hey Morbid! Where you in NY today?
It belongs to an intern of ours. Actually, it's his dad's. It has an aftermarket exhaust and some suspension work. The kid was basically clueless about the mods, other than it has some. I might see if he wants to run my STI. He aslo offered to let me drive it if I want to. It's an M6 (not of the BMW variety)

Interesting...........but to me, so much discussion on car boards like this center around 1/4 miles times. So.....the guy with the Evo who launches his highly modified Evo running 32lbs of boost launches out of the hole at 5K rpms, hooks right up and gets to the lights a nose in front of a Z06 that isnt launched well. Evo guy gets out of his car and feels like a hero for the gay.
Take both units out to an airport strip and go twice the distance and Evo guy cant go home fast enough to beat off.
Which is the superior car whether you run light to light or 1/2 a mile??
Hmmmmmmm..............????

Why do you think so many C6 Z06's run crappy times (like I did ). 2500 rpm and it is close to 400 rwtq. And there is no auto tranny to help either. On stock rubber, it's a bitch to launch the car, as evidenced by my many 12 second runs at 123+ mph.
ORIGINAL: S8ER01Z
x2... a lot of people fail to comprehend that the LS2 is making moretorque near idle than their cars produce PERIOD anywhere in their powerband... the trick is getting that power to the ground.
ORIGINAL: Morbid Intentions
meh, yeah it would be a better race on account of launch... but the power curve is something people don't take into account
pay close attention to the torque and where it's available.... even though peak BHP and torque are significantly higher, down low at around 3200RPMis where the LS2 shines the most IMO
I may be wrong but IMO going from a dig against an LS2 GTO can be just as deadly if not dealier if it can launch

You would of had a better race from a dig providing GTO had stock gearing...

)I planned on getting these in 18"though
the only reason I'm going with the popped out star like that is because sidewayz showed me what AZA Z1's look like on the old goat and I fell in love with the shape, but not the color.

RE: LS2 GTO OWNED!
You are really lucky to have your GTO now,When I had my 05',Wheels etc obviously were very limited here in the states due to it being so new.Now the choices are endless.I don't remeber having any real oil consumption problems with mine,I know they were out there but not very common as in 1 out of 3.Anyone ever figure it out?I always thought it was going down the intake under hard driving or possibly the low tension rings that newer cars come with.My 07' LS2 Vette used a little as did my GTO,But I drive like a madman constantly.

I only notice it after some hard driving for long periods.... otherwise if I drive like a normal person does I never lose any oil.
