Has anyone seen this?

HAULT PRODUCTION OF THE ZL-1
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was intended to be a brightly shining halo car for the brand and specifically for the line of Camaro pony cars – but its thunder was first stolen by the horsepower-trumping 2013 Ford Shelby GT500, and now news of an apparent quality concern.
The latest figurative black eye for the car comes with the unfortunate news that would-be owners will have to wait a bit longer to take delivery, following an order from General Motors to stop the production and delivery of the car according to Motor Authority. The reason behind the halt? Well, GM isn’t exactly opening up on the issue, only pointing to a software programming issue.

So how long will the delay last?
Some of the folks at GMInsideNews did manage to procure a letter from GM headquarters, sent to dealers about the matter, which confirmed that the halt does not currently have a firm timeline but suggested it may be a few more weeks before production and sales can continue.
Considering how easily modern vehicles can have their computers re-flashed to a new software setting, this stop-sale and production halt seem to suggest either a more serious underlying problem, or a lack of an alternative software setting at this time. But as one unfortunate customer in Austin, Texas, found out after a dealer accidentally delivered him his vehicle, GM is serious enough about the actions that it requested the vehicle back from the owner.
For now, if you are curious as to how the 2012 Camaro ZL1 drives – on a track no less – be sure to check out Leftlane’s recent review of the car.

GM should seriously consider this ... covering the 1st set of rears under warranty for high-performance RWD vehicle, due to premature ware and 'permagrin' ; )

GREAT FINDS!!! Why aren't there more of these, lol? I don't know the details of the test drives, but I was thinking, the other day, that I would've spent almost the entire time doing what's in these videos, lol
