If this is the second time... did you check your battery connections just to make sure they are tight... perhaps one terminal may be loose.

Not electronics. They are lug nuts. KICS Neo Chrome R40 lugs.

check the dead battery threads, chances are it's just the battery

Most likely loose battery terminal. New Camaros had the same issue.

Any recent electrical work?
If it is not a loose battery terminal or faulty battery, I would suspect a loose ground or similar voltage fault causing a drain. Another possibility would be the alternator.

How long in between your last dead battery situation? and, how long did the car sit before you last drove it?

Ummm.. only a front right lug nut can cause a starting problem. Something to do with the harmonic vibration causing the terminals to loosen.

Common knowledge.
