BUT people have to realize the new GM LT1 specially is not as bad as pass DI engines.

Heres the latest we have discovered on the corvette forum.
37k miles LT1 engine. Some coking, not major coking.

Right. In my experience turbo motors have the biggest problem with it. But then it usually doesn't show real symptoms (depending on your driving style) until late or after the warranties expire. So not directly impacting the OEMs.
Based on the pics of that LT1, seems by 60k miles things will be definitely impacting fuel economy and power.
