Did heat soak issue go away?
I remember when the first Z06 cars hit the tracks there were some complaints about heat soak. There was also considerable talk about how the performance was dialed down because of a soft tune when the termperatures got hot. Was this isolated to a few early vehicles or is this issue still there ? I have not been following this issue closely but have not seen any information about it lately.

I'm in PR (90 degrees all year) felt the car a little weird after a few hard accelerations when it have 220 miles on the odo... after I pass the 500 miles of "break in period" the car felt very strong and never felt that thing that I felt before.

So far for the owners and those who have tested it and put up data, it doesn't appear to be an issue so far.
For the C7Z haters and some of the C6 guys who don't own one, the "problem" is one of epic proportions.

Yeah, I bet we see some in the high heat of summer.
Just like we see on various other platforms. We'll just have to wait and see if it's to a greater or lesser extent.

I'm heading to Spring Mountain next weekend, I'll let you know if there is any heat soak, I'll also ask the "trainers".
I have 3k on mine, haven't noticed anything during normal driving. Loving my Z.
