If GM can do this for the 1/4 mile Cars they can eliminate the 1LE M6 Issues.

The larger issue is WHY?

What you failed to miss on that Factory Parts bit was that the car was tuned. That alone changed ALL the dynamics...

A8 couldn't keep up. I think the supercharger kicked in.

Incredible considering there was a total of about 50 votes for all of Poll 2.

Now we're cookin!

My 2016 2 SS started the shudder issue last summer. The Dealer informed me that they were told that there was a 'slightly' updated TC available and were advised to replace with it. They did and the issue went away.....for about 200 -300 miles. Now it is worse than ever.

I keep mine garaged in bad weather so i've not took it back in yet. I will let everyone know what they say when I do.

DevilsReject97 · 01-23-2018, 12:11 PM

Truth is, the A8 has the issue in the Corvette too, so I think you'll see it sorted out in some way quickly. Meanwhile, the launch control, or more importantly, the bogging launch issue, is affecting exclusively the ZL1 on both transmissions...

On the ZL1 A10 they need to program the traction management to be all off when you hold the TC button for 5+ sec they still leave some on 1.7 +/- a tenth 60ft is all you can get even with DR that alone would put us in the 10's easy. With my Hellcat you turn off TC and it's off 1.4 60ft was best I could get with a 18" Street R.

If any poll deserves to have it's top 2 questions both submitted, it is this one. Not sure which one will be easier for Al and team to answer, but I vote we at least send both. Especially if the team needs more time to answer.

Why was the poll closed early?
