Agree fully. My comments were focuses on ensuring warranty doesn't get invalidated (due to unapproved fluids and such). Cheers!

As far as camber, max the front to about 2.6 or 2.7. Easy to do on stock bolts and without camber plates. Your tire wear and handling will improve substantially.
Personally, ive been running 2.6F and 1.6R with just about perfect tire wear.

Cheers and have fun!

All GM maintenance recommendations were followed in detail including track prep which is why there were no questions asked. Camber discussion is another thread, but anything more than -2 is untenable on the street (for me). I daily mine so -2 is a happy medium, particularly on the stock tire.

Failures happen. A second one would be disappointing and would probably 1) trigger a build to address weak links or 2) movement to another brand.

At the moment couldn't be happier with the car and ownership experience.

Sounds good. Enjoy the car. They are pretty amazing machines, especially given the price point. Cheers!
