If anything that guy did in 34 miles hurt the car then I'd say the ZL1 or any Camaro wouldn't be worth owning.

Precisely. These are tanks. I, umm, 'heard' of a guy who has hammered his on tracks throughout it's break-in miles. Last I saw of the guy, his car is purring like a kitten. The vlogger really did treat it kindly and, judging by the high pitched elation, I honestly don't think he drove it any harder off camera. Cute reaction.

Glad to hear you've decided to go for it! I watched the video again and can guarantee he never came close to redlining until the last pull. All the previous ones, he was shifting early or letting off. He actually let off on the last one before it shifted, so it never redlined either. Doesn't really matter unless it gives you a little more peace of mind. Let us know when it's a done deal.

My local friends said get the car. Just have the dealer clean the drivers seat given the reviewers reaction.

He didn't give the tires flat spots, he didn't do a burnout. He didn't run a 1/4 mile drag from a dig, he didn't do 60-0 stop tests, and no drifting! None of what most folks would consider "ragging out" the car. If you exceeded GM employee pricing (about $5k off) you should actually consider it a great deal for the rather soft 34 mikes.
I believe I'd be more concerned with what the paint looks like and get that extended warranty for peace of mind at dealer cost. But, it's a done deal now apparently. Good looking car! No need for such an emotional roller coaster on this one. So tell us the deal you ended up with? We should know the results of all the support you got! Eh?

I wouldn't hesitate a moment to take the car as planned. With the warranty that you have, and the relatively light spirited driving this guy has done, I think a Chevy engine will stand up to all of that and much more. Buy it.
