That totals 12 of the 200+ new parts.

Who's durability testing, with warranty costs on the line, will be more rigorous? And who's "word" on the overall suitability and durability of these 200+ parts do YOU expect/want/DEMAND?

And how many parts did they research/spec/fit/test/refit/test...to get to the final now-OEM-spec'd parts?

Two years and how many engineering man-hours, spread over how few cars $well$ that "tried, tested and true" slogan stolen from elsewhere...
Two years?! It took GM two years to plunk in an old motor, outsource suspension, brakes, seats, wheels and tires? Wow!
But seriously, get ANY car, no matter the price, beat on it at the track and things will break. Nobody to blame here, as even with F1 budgets things do break there too. Just a nature of the beast. So nobody to "blame" but sinply go back to the dealer and if the part is under warranty: get a new one. Now about those ZL1 motors losing power due to heat soak...somebody ought to be blamed for that for sure.
