Pics of the c6 z06 with no engine.
 

Co-Worker got his c6 z06 back today, but with no engine. Dealer refused to fix it since they claim the air filter had been tampered with. Co-worker hired an attorney and is getting a check in full for $150,000, what he paid for the car + money spent on rental, insurance and private damages.

$20,000 engine blown up -_-

details.. how does tampering with an air filter destroy a $20,000 hand built race motor?

We know that. He had took it to service because the car was stalling on him, Our guess was something caught up in the fuel lines, well after he picked it up, on the drive back home from the dealer the engine blew, not even 3 miles. And we took it back and they said they themselves would cover it and repair it, 2 months later he got a call saying the filter had been tampered with and it voided the warranty. B.S. first thing he did was hire an attorney and he went to go pick it up just like that with an attorney and a tow truck, they didn't even put the engine back together, they just dumped it all in the back of a pick up truck. Attorney took pictures of everything and how they handled it all and threw the engine parts in the back of the truck. Attorney already said its a for sure win. Hes suing the dealer for the car, its been sitting at the dealer more then its been sitting at his house, for insurance, for lost of work, and for other damages including having to pay for rentals. Grand total over $150,000.

He said hes done with chevy, next car will be a gallardo or ford Gt

Good move but he should stay away from the GT as well. I am also done with domestics next will be a Benz or BMW. Could of be that the monkeys at the dealer dont have experience working on the new z06.

bmw and benz is just as bad except you pay 80 bucks for an oil change and 50% more on parts and labor. lol

What happens to the Z06 after he gets paid? http://www.mcmmotorsports.com/smilies/idea.gif

LOL... never knew the chevy engines were so brittle! DONT TOUCH DA AIR FILTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEVY FTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol..... Somebody tampered with the air filter.... voided a warranty... thats ****in rediculous

Actually my dad bought a BMW asked me if I could do the oil changes and I say sure why the hell not. I bought the reset tool for when it was time for oil changes and when it was time for the "big inspection" took it to a guy down the road that was a very good german mechanic that said **** BMW when the company was screwing him for his pay and opened his own business that basically steals away BMW's customers by doing the job cheaper and the same quality. It's worked out pretty well considering his BMW has 210,000 miles on it.

If it makes you feel better about your Ford,sure :silvercup:

That sucks for your friend Spin. I sure hope he gets that check. At least he has his Christmas lights up in plenty of time. :breakdancesmilie:
