1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles is not normal!!!!
Even the replacement short and long blocks under warranty were burning oil.
People that are enthusiasts and repeat buyers WILL NOT FORGET this phenomenal quandary.
Erm, I owned a '06 350z with a revup. Drove it for close to 120k miles before selling it. The first engine burned oil. I went through the TSB replacement guidelines and received a new engine at 59k miles. Not a drop of oil burned after that.

You're correct that they dropped the ball with the revup engine. However, mistakes happen, and as long as it's covered by warranty, I have no problem with them fixing it and me enjoying the vehicle. You need to relax.
