He's a vote to add it back in. I have on order a 1LT Z51 w/PDR and would like to have it based on the inconvenience of getting that data via the PDR. No VIN as car is scheduled for build week of 10/6

I won't. How do you shift and hold on to the steering wheel and then push the button to start the timer and then know when to exactly hit the stop button? I would never has an accurate reading and I like to know to a 10th of a second how fast I can get to 0-60.

I wish my new 2016 had the timer. I do have the PDR, but like was said earlier, it is not instant information and takes many more steps to get to it.
I will contact GM and let them know I can't figure it out, even though I have followed the manual exactly!
During my chat session, I was told the Performance Timer is only on the 3LT...
"I understand what you are seeking. Your vehicle does not come equipped with the 0-60 timer. The 2016 Corvette that comes equipped is the 3LT, your vehicle is a 2LT."

They just wanted it gone, I agree with Kevin, it took effort to write it out of the code. It's not like the deletion of the second sd card slot. I wish they'd write it back in.

Sound like GM needs to remove all the performance and track options (like the Z51) and just make a base car. I thought the design of the car was for road, or a weekend track or full time track car. We use the timer for track use only. GM put the function back please inform us of the timeline to fix this issue.
Thank You!!!!!
Here a go-by for your information.

I have a 2016 Stingray 3LT with all options available except Z51.
I can not come up with the 0 to ??? screen, elapsed time is this feature available on the Stingray or only available on the Z06
Thank You

It was removed in 2016. Sucks... you have to use the PDR to see 0-60 and 1/4 mile.
