Best of luck, mine is in the shop for a water leak and only has 3600 miles. I am the second owner I bought it with 3172 miles. Kind of curious why it was traded in. Ive only actually driver the car for 4 days total. I know my dealer and hope to have it back soon.

The paperwork involved with the assisted trade out takes 2-3 weeks to process, so I will not have the car until after the holiday season is over anyway. Hoping nothing else goes wrong while I have it!! At least I won't be putting miles on my own for awhile but still get to drive a Camaro.....

Out of curiosity, how is your “old” Camaro running with the new engine transplant? Any more issues?

Knock on wood, no issues. It has restored my confidence in the decision to reorder. I have learned the ins and outs of driving in paddle shift mode from the day it was returned, and it is a blast!! Needless to say, I may not have been"gentle" with the break in of the motor..... I did need to put 2 quarts of oil in it within the first 200 miles, but it has been performing as expected, which is flawless....It is normal for the motor to burn oil during break in anyway.

Hmmm...my 2SS did not burn any oil whatsoever during its break-in. And I was at the strip with 506 miles in the odometer.
