Your best bet would be to file a report ASAP.
Provide info on the other cars. That way it'll be alot easier to go the insurance route if you have to. You may have already waited to long to file a respectable statement, but you could always lie and tell them it just happened and you limped back home.
was there a police report? that would help your case if you had to file w/ the insurance co.

that sucks.... best of luck

wouldn't matter what gear. They would be able to see that the rpm spiked and the throttle was closed and pretty much figure it's a mis shift

if you're really worried about it, then do a cyl leakage test. If there's "pressure" coming out of the oil neck then chances are a valve might have floated or bent or something. A cyl leak test will tell you if that's the case. If you don't know how to do it then you can take it to a local mechanic. It's a pretty simple procedure.

My suggestion: Clean car very well, Change anything that u can back to stock, try to ask friends for stock rims just for dealer visit.... Intake back to stock..... File report with chevy customer service as an angry person that did nothing wrong... Don't admit to the over revving because they will say warrenty voided at the spot as other have quoted driver error is not covered under warrenty... Try to be professional/Upset but going fully stock will be the best thing as soon as dealers see that u tempered with the car they will b base there decison on skittles in your car if they can... If u need more help Pm me I have numerous delear problems up to 3 trasmission's replaced... You can Do it u just need to be done Rigtht

three tranny's replaced? sounds to me like you cant drive.. cause the 04 tranny's and axel's are the hardest to break.. after 04 the axel's tapered down in diameter at the CV and the tranny's used a different alloy for the case. good point tho take the car as much back to stock as possible and take it in.. the worst they say is they wont cover it so you go the insurance route and i hope you have atleast filed a claim even if you didnt see the other car.. if you have a low deductabile it may only cost you that amount to get a new motor.. modded or stock..
