Default Software Update

I recently purchased a 2015 Corvette Stingray. It had 13000 miles on it. When it reached 15000 miles on it I took it to the Chevy dealer for routine maintenance. While it was in for maintenance they performed a software update on it. Ever since then I have noticed a dramatic decrease in power. I called the dealer and they said when they performed the update the car didn't have a program that would have given the car more power so needless to say they are as perplexed as I am. Has anyone else had this problem?

You're going to have to figure out what they did. Was the car tuned when you bought it?

I'm not sure. But it was strong and now it's not as strong. So if it was tuned, I want another dose!
