Default 30 yr supply of parts

Riiiiiiiiight...

Finally read the Heart of the Beast, and mentioned GM wanting to have those kind of parts for support.

WTF happened? Got pizzed after reading that. Honestly Im amazed this car ever came into production with as many problems as they had develpoing the motor to make it reliable .
Good read though.

After what GM has done to us I refuse to ever buy a new GM car.

That's what I said after having bought the 84 Xfire new. Finally grew to really like the car but only after I modded the hell out of it.

That book is permanently parked next to about 10 Corvette models, all my Corvette books, and every Corvette-themed magazine I can find.

I might find another copy just to put next to the ol' throne!

30 yr supply of parts????

I guess I missed that part in the book....I'll have to read it again. Maybe I just flew over that part...I already owned the car before I read the book. I knew the scoop on parts before I bought my Z.

30 yr supply....

It's funny...the only GM cars that I have ever owned in my life have been two corvettes....both were bought used...72 LT-1 in '77-'85 & my 90Z in '04 thru when ever I die! The only new cars I've ever bought have been Fords!

I think the 30 year supply was from when the first ZR1 was delivered. Back in 1970...
