It's not a big deal, a retune will fix that problem.

Okay, and that's great and all. But it just frustrates me that they are advertising this as the "most track capable corvette ever" and the first thing you need to do is tune it for continued performance?

Also I gotta wonder, how much of this was done to preserve the drivetrain?

It says "for emissions reasons". I wonder if it runs so rich you run the risk of drowning the cats in fuel as it tries to compensate for high IATs when you're on it at the track?

In which case, remove cats and retune

My guess is they design and test it one way, and then realize it has to be neutered somewhat to fit under some of our more legislatively retarded *coughCaliforniacough* and there's some downstream effects.

Or, it's GM and this is why you never buy the first model year of an American car.

Idk what happened to my post?

First year of any car is usually a risk, but especially with this one. New powertrain, electronics, and god knows what else.

One of our car club members is a GM at our local chevy dealer. He says that since all this info has come out people are cancelling their order on the Z06. He himself was going to trade in his 711hp 2008 Z06 but opted to just supercharge his current 2015 C7. Oh well, guess we'll see how chevy responds to all this
