mine started missing and the light came on for a random miss fire ...i carried it str8 to the dealer i was only 6 miles from it ..so it didnt have long enough to smoke or anything ...the service guy said the valves in the 3.5L comes up to far and smacks the head and it has to be reground and bigger valves installed ...they didnt replace my head just did head work ...thats the other reason i traded for the X model ... only havin 19.8k miles and already havin the head off didnt sit well w/ me ..and only havin 50k warranty

the 07 have the 3.7L and 100k warranty and doesnt have the valve problems that the 3.5L have ..

Last year, I asked Wil Cooksie (plant manager for the Corvette & XLR plant at Bowling Green, KY) why they bother putting that little GM emblem onto the Corvette which is, after all, GM's halo car. Wil gave the politically correct answer. I'd hoped for better but oh well...
