Just placed my order for my '19 Z06 a few minutes ago.
I've had a 2017 Grand Sport, and it drove just fine in my opinion, but for some reason the Z06 just doesn't drive as smoothly on the low end and it makes the whole experience less fun.
I'm looking forward to being able to smoothly and strongly pull away from a stoplight without either stumbling or having to rev like an idiot.

This week we have been very busy due to a very welcome, yet unexpected, spike in demand and we, for the first time since we opened, won't be able to ship the same day. So, for all of you that have ordered yesterday and today and over this coming weekend, shipping will be on Monday or Tuesday the latest. Shipping on all these orders will be expedited to compensate.
Thanks,

Thanks for your interest in this mod, Zan Dad. We have shipped 96% of our orders the same day or the next day, depending on the time order is placed. We are working hard to make that 100%.

I'm not in a particular hurry.
I won't be able to make time to play with mine until the weekend after it arrives anyway. If you wanna move mine back in the line to give someone else a same-day/next day order, that's fine with me.
You don't have to expedite mine.

Argh... I'm trying to convince myself I don't need one of these in addition to the MGW shifter I have in my shopping cart. I'm still learning to drive a manual, so I'm attributing the lack of talent to that rather than the throttle body and shifter. But I have to admit...I want one.

I've been thinking about the MGW shifter as well. From what I've heard, it shifts a good bit more smoothly than stock.

The MGW shifter was one of the first mods I did on my 2015 Z51. The quality difference between the OEM and MGW shifter is day and night. The shifts are crisper and more direct. I'll be ordering the TB this coming week. I may be the first in Canada to get one????

Might as well give yourself all the advantages you can while learning. The alternative might end up being the replacement of the clutch, which is not nearly so inexpensive...

1. Let idle for 3 min
2. Engine off for 1 min.
3. Let idle for 3 more min.
4. Off another min.
5. Drive at 44 mph or greater and let decelerate, several times.
Thanks,
