As far as deliberately lying regarding tracking the car, I don't see why they'd do that. They do plenty of track tests and don't need to hide that from us
Not accusing them of lying, but it's not like they're giving you the excruciating detail of what every single staffer does in it. I do agree with the original post that the consumption seems really high.

How are the cats on that thing not failing
The Vette blew up on them right after it came out because it had a known manufacturing defect (metal burrs) related to the oil filter housing that damaged the bearings. It was recalled and fixed IIRC. The C7 forums are not overrun with people blowing engines or anything like that.
