The competition in this category is pretty strong: Lambo Huracan, Mclaren 650 S, 911 Turbo S, Viper and is going to get even better next year with the arrival of the amazing 458 Twin Turbo so the Z06 better solve the ECU thing and come down with its full arsenal.

This, my friend, is what you are missing. You have been seduced by the envy dripping negativity of those who haven't even touched the cars while tuning out what people who have driven and own the car have to say.

If the ECM Break-in statement from Chevy's rep proves to be true.. I'm wondering if its gonna make the two guys who made the video look like absolute fools.. considering the Manual states a 1500 Break-in is necessary before racing the car.
