How many miles are on it? My car burned about 1/2 a quart in the first few hundred miles. It's a Z06 and not a 370Z, but rings do the same thing in the LS7 that they do in the VQ. Smoked up the tail-pipes pretty good. Now that the rings are all sealed up, it hasn't used a visible amount on the dipstick in 2500 miles and the pipes shine even after long drives.

Is your car broken in yet?

I have about 4,500 miles on the car now and it uses about one and a quarter quarts per 3,000 miles.

I would pull all the aftermaket stuff off and take it to the dealer for an oil consumption test. You may get a new engine out of the deal.
