I believe that we will need a TSB to go to a dealer with that tells them what SW/FW update we need on our early '16's to get this feature back. So, we need someone to go into the dealer and see if we can extract. This thread will go a long way to accomplishing that so thanks for those that posted the pictures. I will take mine in when I get my oil changed to get the update.

I have a 2016 3LT Z51 automatic. Built in Aug 2015 it does not have the timer in the DIC but does have it in the PDR. it does have some timers on the screen for Track Mode but I have not tried to figure them out yet.

Wow!
I have a 2014 and 2015- Coupe and Z06 respectively and the timer is there. I have a Club Member buddy that got a 16 Z and I tried to help him... the weird part was that when we tried the Perf Timer flashed on for a second and then blipped away.. since then we cant even see it anymore..
Maybe it did get programmed out???

My dealer has know about this when I ordered my car it came In at the end of August early build 2016, we tried to find the option to open up the timer it was no longer there, he checked his other 2016 models on the lot same thing, So Yesterday he sent me an email saying his new build 2016 models now have this option? So tomorrow he is going to meet with his shop Forman and service director to see what can be done. This is from Stingray Chevrolet a forum dealer who has been totally awesome and gave me a deal when no one was giving deals. Will update. If you are looking contact Sean at Stingray he is a corvette and all around car guy.

Dealer called "Stingray Chevrolet" there is a software update, Need to contact GM Technical to get this info/update. My local dealer is still lost so I have them calling my guy at Stingray Chevrolet, Hopefully they get me in next week to perform this Software Update. Will keep you informed.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't believe I have the performance timer on my 2016. I've scrolled through all the options in the performance menu and don't see it. I have the lap timer but not the 0-60 performance timer. Can other 2016 owners check and see if you've got the performance timer? Did GM remove it on the 2016s?
