Mine failed at about 17,600 mi. The car was a daily driver, but I did drive it pretty hard, did have most bolt-ons but no cams or FI. Changed the oil every 4,000 mi with mobile 1 synthetic. Although as soon as it was fixed I just decided to trade in for an SS because I wasn't looking forward to the possibility of it happening again.

From a review of this thread it seems like a quality and tolerance issue with the timing chain. Basically hit or miss ? From the responses I can see why people are nervous and why GM hasn't been forced to do a recall.
I guess I'll continue to be vigilant with the oil changes and keep my fingers crossed.

94k miles and I might or might not have a stretched chain. I get a P0008 error and lousy performance when I use high octane but everything's peachy when I go back down to 87. This is my daily driver and my commute is ~120 miles total, mostly highway.
