[QUOTE="AllFlash, post: 71385, member: 2168"] So we have our first resident thread basher here at CCF and it just so happens to be one that cannot get his hands on a Z06. GMs marketing of the Z06 is borderline brilliant and not false in any wayshape or form. Their initial specs were only upgraded AFTER new highs had been reached and this is what everyone does regardless of the technology. Your statement above is tantamount to saying that cars do not run better after a sufficient breakin has taken place? You are saying that GM is lying to you with respect to what they are saying regarding their tuning? Lastly, nobody out there has yet questioned the fact that the C7 Z06 just may be the most capable production model track car, only that it has been beat in a straight line. Let's do this before you hop thread to thread doing nothing but bashing, let's provide links that allow a ameaningful conversation. Fair enough? You are making a statement out to be a fact because you have formed an opinion from another forum that something isn't true... EDIT: Let me be very clear that I do think GM may have made a mistake in not marketing the Z06 a bit better to those true track guys. They could have been very clear in explaining ECU settings and that the advertised HP would be reached in the alteration of these settings, which by the way would void warranty. I don't think it is right that they weren't as clear, but then again, initial specs were only updated in GMs haste after all jumped on the 'Z06 is great' bandwagon. They should never have done that. I also dont think that clarity would have lost any sales whatsoever. In fact, could you imaging if they would have marketed the car with the few physical components and ECU changes that could be purchased as a separate premium installable package bringing the HP ABOVE 650? That would have been the smart move here; everyone would then have been hollaring 670HP rather than 650. [/QUOTE]
