And the GM hit's just keep on coming!
General Motors has discovered a problem with the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V-8s fitted to certain versions of the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The affected models are all 2009-2013 CTS-Vs...

this is totally a "bash GM thread". But it's also posted in the "Tow Vehicle" section.
When comparing GM (Duramax / Allison & GM) with brands D & F and when you look at the problems and the factory treatment for the respective brands, most here would say GM has been the best when coupling reliability and factory support for design problems.
It just looks like some of the folks here are trying to rationalize some of their product shorting-comings by pointing at GM.
Even for these hi-po supercharged engines in the Camaro and Caddie, GM appears to be making a good faith effort to keep them going to 120k miles. I don't know who among us owns a 600 hp supercharged car but I doubt many would make them a daily driver and put 120k miles on them. I was looking at the Camaro & Mustangs and thought the 1LE (SS) would be a nice ride but there was no way I even considered a supercharged Camaro. Just a little common sense but I would think that a 600 hp supercharged car might require a little more than oil changes. I wonder how the maintenance costs compares to a Ferrari or turbo Porsche? Or a Shelby supercharged Mustang?
