Default Characteristics of Corvette's Brembo Calipers

The original question is here.

spearfish25 asked:
How do the Z06 Brembo brake calipers compare to Brembo's retail offerings? Are the calipers altered or engineered by GM in any way to tailor them specifically to the Z06? Are there any specific differences between the OEM supplied Brembos and the retail versions?

Default Tunnel-Mounted Shift Lever for Autos

Original question is here.

Wadoka asked:
With Chrysler's recent owner-operator issues (owners who can't tell if their car is in Drive or not, with resulting consequences)(and which still featured a lever) - would the GM design studio team think about considering, eliminating the central stalk, in favor of cleaner designs, for auto-equipped cars?

Default Track Testing/Validation

The original question is here.

Clairvoyantwolf asked:
It was mentioned in a previous Ask Tadge response that the Corvette Team had never tested at Willow Springs, and after testing there the "Rough Track Calibration" was created for the Magnetic Selective Ride Control. What tracks does the Corvette Team regularly test at and what unique insights does each venue bring?

Default HD Radio for '18 But Removed For '15-'17

The original question is here.

FYREANT asked:
In the 2014 release of the C7 we had HD radio as a standard feature. In years 2015, 2016, and 2017, HD radio was discontinued. Now, HD radio is making a return to the C7 with the 2018 release. Can you let us know why the 2015-2017 releases did not have HD radio and if any improvements have been made with the 2018 re-release of the HD radio feature in the C7?
