Break bedding procedure

Hey can anyone remember what part of the 1LE manual or performance supplemental manual the break bedding procedure is in? I cannot find it anywhere. I know I saw it ... somewhere.

Hmm... weird. I’ll have to go out and bed the breaks in and see if it remedies it. I’ve never experienced this with my Shelbys BMWs or Porsche’s but save the GT350 the breaks were not in the same...

I guess you have to ask yourself why you really want the 1LE and weigh if it’s worth dealing with the riding ride the other 363 days a year. I haven’t driven a Z06. One of the attractions to the ZL1...

Oops sorry I meant MF. Late night delerium from unburying ourselves from the snow-pocaypse here in oregon. Must have moved 10 tons of snow from my drove with a snow blower.

Actually, I think simple MF race series Axel back sounds great. It has the crackle I miss with the GT350.

The 1LE is too quiet... and has an identity crisis.

After coming out of the GT350 the ZL1 sounds really tame. It sounds great in my garage with the windows down but on the road ... I keep wondering if it's in stealth mode ... nope, just quiet. This...

There is definitely a lot to look at. It's much more brutal looking than the GT350. I wouldn't call it elegant haha. The GT350 looked like a pissed off cat with it's ears pinned back and the ZLE...

Ha, the dealer told me nothing changed for 2012 other than interior. I knew it felt tighter. Not bad for driving the 2011 once. I am a car Jedi. :cool: I'm going to need a bigger hat now.

Well....there's the price. Does anyone know what the ZL1 is going to base at yet? I keep waiting for a lightweight track version of the SS. A Z28 to compete with the Boss 302.
