[QUOTE="computerguy, post: 71373, member: 2289"] Sorry but that is not true. I have been following the other forum on this issue. It looks like GM put in a soft tune to protect the engine for warranty purposes. The car is NOT going to magically gain a few hundred HP after break in. This is nothing but wishful thinking by a lot of owners. If GM had really added software to the engine computer that would unleash a more powerful engine it would be documented in the owners manual. It is not. Also there is a tuner on the other forum that looked at the engine control software and said there is NOTHING in the software that is going to change the tune after break in. The reality is becoming that the C7 Z06 has been hyped by GM as being "the most capable track car" but this is only true if you get it tuned and therefore lose your warranty. It is also looking like a stock ZR1 or C6 Z06 may perform just as well as the new C7 Z06. I think GM has to go back to the drawing board and work out the bugs on this model or start offering massive discounts. There is a lot of negative perception with the C7 Z06 at this time. [/QUOTE]
