Blue = oil/tire spin. Were you spinning?

Sure it wasn't black? Mine spits black every now and then.

Possible. Maybe it was just a tad discolored.

if its blue smoke its prolly just running a little rich. mine did in higher rpm's when i was stock. does it still do it or was that the only time. cause i also could have been just a bad batch of gas. 93 octane always.

Wait, you weren't using supreme before? This car REQUIRES 93, or if an absolute must the highest octane rating available in your area.

I'd have to see it to determine how bad it is.

STOCK and low, low miles on a cold motor these cars spit discolored smoke out the tailpipe. My old car did it too (s/c'ed) and the plugs after several thousand miles showed no signs of abnormality.

My SS actually burns 1/4 quart to 1/2 quart...usually a 1/4 before each oil change. Under a quart of oil at 3k miles is normal according to GM.
