Oil usage question

My non-Z51 C7 has been fantastic. Delivery was in January and I have 5000 miles of non track but spirited driving. I followed the break in rules. The question is: I have used two quarts of oil during these first 5k miles, is
this normal?

I really wonder why people decide to ask questions that they already know the answer to. I was glad to see that no one responded to this person.

Since I'm already typing, I'll respond to JIM D.

YES - you know that a new motor will use up some oil.

Are you next going to ask if your exhaust tips should be stained slightly black?

I'm sorry for jumping down your throat if you genuinely don't know the answer to your question.
