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.

Mr. TrackClub - I'm going to try to be as nice as possible here.
For 37 pages, people within the industry have TRIED -- OVER AND OVER AGAIN to explain to you the 'facts of life' as they pertain to product development.
..........and you continue to argue.
Perhaps you need to simply go back and READ CAREFULLY what people are saying -- because frankly you're starting to sound a bit ridiculous to anyone who truly understands this business. (....not armchair engineers - I mean people who are in the know....)
I don't like saying that -but I don't know what else to do to get your attention or to make you understand.
(...one of my biggest frustrations is trying to share our experiences and our knowledge with the public at large.........)
I'm simply stunned.
We've developed a line of cars that are the envy of many manufacturers.
a 323 hp thrill-ride for well under 25K with a list a mile long of standard equipment
...and then:
SS
1LE
ZL1
and now Z/28.....
....a Camaro for just about every purpose -- every one of them a thoroughbred -- every one of them a value when compared to other cars with similar performance and features................
........and then there's the Corvette -
............and yet people are still upset with us.
Does anyone realize how ridiculous some of the remarks in this thread sound?
Now -- all that said? The Camaro Enthusiast community at large is celebrating..........as well they should.
We will continue to visit with our Camaro/Firebird Clubs and we'll continue to sit "one on one" to ensure that we offer the best 'bang for the buck' while also meeting Federal Mandates..........
For those of you who want a "More affordable" Z/28? May I suggest you go out and test-drive a 1LE today? Prepare for "Perma-grin"..........
