Sure hope that one is just a case of bad luck and not a prelude to a more wide spread problem.

A friend of mine bought a 24 non Z51 car with 3 miles on it and made it to 17 miles and failed. This was about a month ago during the strike, no trans replacement to date, still waiting.

That's a strong statement, it's not like they said "oh ****, this thing can't be fixed, we have to redesign the whole thing." It was some internal baffles to prevent fluid slosh.

I just don't think a $100k car should have the problems a C8 has, especially after being in production for over 4 years. I have bought several less expensive cars that lasted 200,000 miles with no problems.

Yeah, I've read their statement on this as well, but official statements can also sometimes be missing details, or even misleading at times. Back in the day of C6 Z06, they mentioned it was just a few defectively machined LS7 heads causing the problem in their TSB (or whatever it was), and that it was all fixed post a specific day on 2011, but owners still had the same valvetrain issues on engines built past that date. Their statement on 2024 updates having nothing to do with reliability definitely makes me happier, but we as consumers should still keep an eye out for ourselves : ) After all, if they stated they fixed reliability issues, it would make the news, and could open the door to litigation, so they might not be inclined to revealing all the changes made...
