I ran into this problem when replacing the magnetic ride with coilovers. The tuner raised the limit to 300mph with the tek 2 software. The limit should be accompanied with a warning.

Front coilovers

Do you have a picture of your front coilovers installed? I am having trouble getting my ride height down to 660mm (currently at 705mm) with the same kit. I cant figure out were I messed up. Thanks.

Ohlins front coilover height adjustment

I just installed a Ohlins Road and Track coilover kit on a 2013 ZL1 and the front ride seems too high. From the ground to the fender lip the height is 705 mm. It should be 660mm according to another...

Stock ZL1brake pads on the track?

I signed up for a track day this weekend, which I planned to attend in my Z06. However, the Vette was waiting on parts that didn't arrive, so I am planning to take the ZL1.

Are the stock pads up...

The 40 tread wear rated tires will pickup a lot of trash and throw it on to the car. Get a second set of wheels and street tires. Also, no AC will get old in SoCal, so I would check that option. For...

Is the ZL1 a Loss Leader?

Does GM make money on the ZL1? It seems like the sum of the parts is greater than the cost. Also, I keep comparing it to my e46 M3, which had a sticker price 12 years ago near the ZL1 today. There...

A 45 min session seems a little long for any Chevy v8 without a dry sump. My C5 z06 would fill the catch can off the valve cover before 45 minutes. I would not expect the ZL1 to do better.
