I also included endlink bulletin and the clicking noise from front wheels which is a 10 min spray the calipers fix.

I called on day 6 after zero communication and they said the clicking sound was duplicated which tells me they at least drove it. Alignment had not been checked so I told them I was picking it up the next day regardless and they had it long enough.

When I arrive that afternoon they said everything checked out good, nothing was loose and it had been in the air twice. Yet I got no alignment spec sheet and the clicking noise was not fixed. I informed him it was crazy to put in on the rack twice and not at least pull the front wheels and fix the click. Hard to believe they did anything since my phone call let alone all this.

Bottom line is they drove it around and didn't do crap. I really didn't expect them to figure anything out on the fishtailing as you really can't duplicate that without being on a closed track but damn, at least take care of the easy stuff.

I'll probably just trade this in on a 19 ZLE anyway so my modding this one has taken a back seat for now.

I'll get it on a rack myself and get a reputable alignment shop to take a look at it next time I get time which has been my biggest obstacle
Sorry to hear this but if you drive these cars at the level they are able to perform you almost need to find a race mechanic that understands what you are telling them rather than a guy at the dealership.... I think the ZLE is an awesome option and if I didn't have so much money in my current Camaros I might buy one also.
