The guy who owns that blog is obnoxious, to say the least. I've seen one thread here with a second hand account of the A8 overheating but I guess we'll find out as more cars get delivered.

This PeterMJ's is insane, I don't understand all the hate. PeterMJ's move on already and get over what ever happened between you and GM. I know he post on this form not sure what he goes by. I do agree that quality control could improve but man read this guy stuff and you just wonder what happened..
Obviously was not nurtured properly when young.
I would look "anywhere" else for information or news on the C7 Corvette.

My order was built 09-15-14 and done with the pre dealer on 09-18-14 It is ordered with the A8. It was bayed until 10-10-14 and now I am told the dealer would have it for me by 10-24-14 give or take 2 days. I have heard that some A8's have a TSB for the trans problem with a crack that could happen. It seems strange to me that the car I ordered was Bayed as long as it was.

But back on topic, until folks start tracking (road course) their A8's we really won't know.
Some A6 owners have reported "over temp" messages during track events.
Doubtful it would occur during any street driving. So was that your question?

I will put in on a track, but not until spring. By the time I get through breaking the car in it will be too late in the season here to take it out. I really hope its not a problem or I'm going to be very upset.
