      What's projected clutch life supposed to be? If it's as smooth as he's claiming, that means there's some significant slippage going on. I could also hear what sounded like a lot of feathering programmed into the clutch actuation software.
      Would be nice if clutch engagement aggressiveness, and therefore less slippage/wear, could be an adjustable parameter. Would be curious to know your thoughts on that.

      Yeah, right.......
      By exactly what parameters?
      4 mph lower top speed isn't "way" slower - and the car Garrett drove was the BASE model, NOT the performance version you're comparing it to. Besides, focussing top speed is really for wankers when 99% of the time downforce for cornering, braking, etc. is more important.
      I did find this speculative article on the possible Z06 package - www.topspeed.com/cars/chevrolet/2021-chevrolet-c8-corvette-z06-ar186406.html

      When the new “better handling” C8 platform debutes a lap time 15 seconds slower than their own front engine car from 15 years ago, having nearly identical power and weight figures, people should be asking why? I get a few seconds slower, but 15 seconds? It kind of makes me wonder if mid engine was the answer or not.

    I was watching Jay Leno’s garage and he was test driving one. The lead engineer told him that until they hit 3000mi the computer is programmed to pull 25% of power out until break-in period is done. So that might be alittle bit of the burnout issue. I’m pretty sure you were running around on 75% power.

      I forgot all about that you might be right. Also Coopers comment needs more power well there is just not right now. lol
