First Z drive
Drove my first Z today...'02 Electron Blue...Could really tell the difference in the power between it and my '99 FRC...One thing I noticed was that there was a lot of vibration in the shifter under pretty heavy acceleration....Seemed ok at cruise speed....Just wondering......Is this a common thing with a Z, or any corvette for that matter. The FRC is a LOT smoother.

Mine doesn't have a lot of vibration under heavy acceleration. Would be something to have checked for sure.
