Vette News - 2015 Z06 Issues
The 2015 Corvette Z06 is supposed to be insane on the track. But thanks to emissions
regulations that force a conservative ECU tune, the 650 horsepower insane machine is
experiencing some issues after heavy use.
After several laps on the track or a few hard acceleration runs on the highway, owners
of the brand new Super Vette are reporting noticeable power loss from the supercharged
LT4 V8. Originally it was thought that it was heat soak from the supercharger, but, it is,
in fact, conservative tuning of the ECU to help the drivetrain survive for 100,000 miles as
well as allow the Z06 to meet stringent US emissions regs.
Chevy knows that this is happening, but feels that almost every Z06 owner will be totally
satisfied with their car, and if they aren't, there are aftermarket tuners that they can go
to that'll gladly liberalize that ECU to give it more unrestricted power.
