Remote Software Download

Just curious: I know McLaren updates the performance and handling of its customers' cars by downloading software (connectivity is via the dealer). Does anybody know if the Z06/Chevrolet has this capability? Thanks. Frank

Also, the active aero and some drivetrain settings have been updated, along with convenience features. Perhaps GM will do the same, if it really feels the need.

That said, I've never heard of any manufacturer other than McLaren giving free horsepower updates to cars.

Given that you have a 12C, you know the process better than anyone! And you're right -- I can't think of any manufacturer other than McLaren. I was thinking maybe Chevrolet might address minor issues via that route -- folks talking about the ECU and all. Frank
