Default C7 Z06 problem

I would like to know if anyone else has this problem with their C7 Z06.
After it sits over night in the garage when I start it up it turns over 8 to 12 times before it starts. And when cold at idle it is running a little rough. If I sit in the car as it is warming up I can feel a miss. I know this isn't right because a friend has a 2015 Z06 8 spd auto just like mine and it does not do this. My dealer says it is OK and I know that it isn't. Anyone have any ideas?

Hard to believe the dealer things taking 8-12 times cranking to get the car to start is normal. Perhaps time to find a different dealer to look at the car.

To be a little more specific, it's the tech that works at the dealership that says that. I should know more next week after I bring it in again.
When it warms up though it is a beast.

Go to a different dealer that cares or if none available have a local repair shop scan the ecm for fault codes. GM has district reps as does all manufactures ask to see one. Your car should not skip. Cant hurt to test the battery or put a trickle charge on it for a while, see if anything changes. Also try disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect. Simple stuff the deal should try! Good luck...... btw there's a Z06 section for your "special" car.
