Predicted Reliability reports are just silly in general. How do you judge reliability on something that hasn’t been out long enough to even see the reliability?

I bet you go back 5 years and look at these reports and see if they are accurate and they are probably way off.

Kia and Hyundai make junk. At least they make some good looking junk. But the drivetrains have proven to be unreliable with constant recalls and blown engines.

So I did the Spring Mountain C8 school and the Cadillac V school is now run by the same group there. Here is info on the V program.

You start out the first day doing slow laps behind instructors. They have a mix of track time, autocross, braking exercises and cone drills. Then they put you in different groups based on skill level. The end of the first day and all of the second day is testing your limits. The track sessions, the instructor leads you in a small group of 2 or 3 cars and they will pace at whatever speed you are going.

They fully tell you to apply full brake pressure and full throttle pressure to get the most out of the cars and each car is basically at least run for a couple schools a month.

So you might get one person that drives it slow and is easy on it, then you could have the next guy absolutely thrash it.

Part of that 6k miles should be at least the break in though. The Corvette’s came in brand new and the instructors would drive them around town until they get to the break in miles. I think they said 1500.

Keep in mind, these are performance schools to learn the limits of your car and to get you comfortable. These cars are driven hard all day long, but they are maintained extremely well and they don’t see snow/salt.

I’d be careful. Same with the cars from any driving school, they get driven hard and then sold to the public. They do get all of their maintenance done, but it’s a tough life for the car.

I took one of the performance schools and we absolutely pushed the cars hard. There was a lot of full heavy braking back into full heavy throttle. And then the handling tests like figure 8s and drifting in the wet.

They said they like to sell the cars before 9,000 miles.

What was the MSRP difference for the Silverado and F150 in your post?

GM has had lifter tick on their V8’s at startup with their AFM engines since they came out. I had a lifter collapse on my Camaro. AFM is dumb.
