Wait, are you saying that they actually replaced the trans while you were still driving along at 1-2 in a parade?!

Sorry, I just had to do it.

Only a excellent driver with a C6 MN6 with Vararam would beat these times, there are to many things to do for that perfect run with a manual trans (Light, Launch, shift points), I am sure some people enjoy the extra work/challenge, but for bracket racing, the stick guys are usually gone in round 1. Dont get me wrong, the MN6 can be 2-3 tenths quicker but I enjoy bracket racing so the auto is perfect for me.

HA HA..good one. However, as to the times, I do attend the Corvette Challenge, and next time I'm there I'll look you up. Maybe the Vararam will do it or more miles.

my a6 hits the limiter(1-2) if i paddle shift it after 5900. after header and exhaust install it hits limiter in reg S mode on 1-2 shift. good point on the active handling maybe kicking in, i will have to check into that.

Mine has done it on the 1-2 shift in S auto mode 4-6 times with TC and AH off.

Both times I have gone to the track it has done it on the first pass????

Same problem

Sometime it won't shift, have to hit twice after hitting limiter. Tonight it wouldn't even shift 3 to 2. All modes have problem. Corsa only upgrade.
Hope new program comes out! 3000 miles 2007. And to the guys that think there is no problem, you're no driving hard enough. Get on the gas!
