Weird ... The 2010 SS was a money pit from every owner I've seen and talked too... Funny that yours was just perfect. *cough cough* GM boy *cough cough *
All kidding aside...(not really)...
I have heard alot of horror stories from 2010 Camaro owners. By 2012 I think GM got the bugs worked out. As for my 2010 Mustang I had repeated issues with the brakes & fuel leaks that the dealer bought it back from me. I didn't like the drive-ability of the 2011 or 2012 Mustang GT but the tweaks made for the 2013 GT got me into another Mustang.

Both my wife & I had 1965 Mustangs as 1st cars and we have owned a few Mustangs over the years along with several Camaro/Firebirds.

My 2012 Camaro was problem free for the 2 years/20K miles I owned it then I traded it in for 2014 SS Sedan that I've put 12K problem free miles on it. Over 100 of those miles are from Autocrossing with speeds hitting 140+mph.

This track is awesome. 2.5 miles of pure pleasure. It has a long straight & a big sweeping curve (#6) that you can hit 100+.

Ok, nice. That looks like a fun track. That's what I'd consider an open track day, not autocross. Autocross is usually in large open parking lot, coned course, generally <70 mph top speed, most corners in the 25-40 mph range. You can do autocrosses at race tracks, but they still typically have coned sections to limit speeds.
