The only problem I currently have with my '16 2SS is not being able to remove the permanent grin from my face and my sore neck from always twisting to turn around to check it out when walking away.

And Welcome to the Forum... Congrats on the new car! You'll love it.

If it's a A8 get the fluid flushed with the latest Mobil 1 blue if it has not been done yet. Especially if you are going to leave it stock and not tune out AFM.

Yes, this! Live my car and wouldn’t trade it for anything (except a ZL1), but not long after buying my 2SS last year (16,000 miles), it started feeling like I was driving over rumble strips. Scared the crap out of me. But, I took it down to the dealership and they did a triple flush and it’s been driving like a dream ever since.
Hopefully you won’t have that problem though or maybe it’s already been flushed. Congrats on your new ride! Enjoy!

2016s didn't get heat wrapping around the starter which can lead to overheating issues. I'm currently fighting the issue on my 16 2ss. Sucks

Yes this is an issue I'm having as well. Between a weak battery and the started getting heat soaked. I bought my own shielding but have yet to install it. Beside that I ordered my 2016 and beside this issue, my windshield fluid motor went out. I have 55,000 and it's been great.

OP and the 2016 SS has the cheapest HP Tuners surcharge. Once it is off warranty get in touch with a tuner and have some fun.

Corrected.

I don't think it's out of powertrain warranty. Bumper to Bumper is 36 months / 36,000 miles. Powertrain warranty is 60 months / 60,000 miles. HP Tuners is still an option, of course, but that would void what's left of the powertrain warranty. If not for the powertrain warranty, I'd be running E85 and headers by now.
