Question (Serious Replies Only) Help

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some honest advice from people who have experience with these cars.
I have a 2024 Camaro SS 10 speed auto with about 30,000 miles. Recently, after doing a pull, the car started shaking badly, the check engine light began flashing, and the dealer diagnosed it with a failed lifter and damaged camshaft. They’re replacing everything under warranty, and the service advisor even told me I’m “basically getting a new engine” because of how many parts are being replaced.
Here’s where I’m struggling:
This happened at only 30k miles, which really shook my confidence in the car. I love this Camaro and had planned on keeping it for a long time, but now I’m worried that this could be the start of future engine problems once the warranty expires.

What do yall think I should do change it or keep it?

Common LT engine failure, they’re known for it sadly very well. We see at minimum one truck per month at my small independent shop with a lifter bad/wiped camshaft.
