The GT3, and GT3 RS are warranted for track use as long as the owner adheres to the more stringent maintenance schedule specified in the "Driving on the Race Circuit" Manual.

Update on my car... took it to dealer at 13000 miles, after another overheating issue ( not on the track) and oil change as oil life was back at zero with 2k miles since last oil change, dealer told me nothing wrong with car, and charged me 105$ for oil change, I picked up car and drove it 10 miles in normal traffic conditions, car overheated and oil life back at zero. I took the car back to dealer ( at least they gave me a loaner this time) and was told yesterday that they are going to install the 5th water pump on my car to solve the flow issue. I was also told Chevy do not have the pumps in stock and are in national back order. Supposedly they have a new design?

Deuuuce

5th water pump? Have you tried a different dealer?

Dreamracer

yeah been at two different ones, same

I don't want to kidnap this thread to talk GT3 but just to clarify..

Current GT3 warranty statement: http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf...l_GT3_PCNA.pdf

.

If you read on Porsche will give the legal definition of what "they" consider and it's very simple... if you pass the entrance of a track/racing facility (even if you park the car to watch) your 911 GT3 is engaged in competition, racing, or track use... if you understand the lawyer's drift...

MKDFW

You are referring to the 997 GT3. I should have been more specific, and stated that the coverage applies to the 991 GT3, and RS (MY 2014, and later).

okaythen

manual or automatic?

I'm sorry that I don't have any new data available from my last weekend running in BG at the NCM Motorsports Park for the Optima event. It just wasn't hot enough to give any updated info. Maybe next month at Pikes Peak will be helpful.

Anyone else see the class action law suit filed against GM for over heating Z06's?

I'm curious if the lawsuit will eventually affect 2018s as well. GM made the cooling improvements beginning the 17MY, but have said little else regarding 2018 improvements (if any). Considering this lawsuit includes 2017s, it'll be interesting to see if there's still been significant cooling issues with the supposed improvements (new to the forum, go easy on me if this has still been occurring for 2017s). Otherwise, I'm not sure how 2017s could be included.

IF it turns out GM doesn't actually make additional cooling improvements and/or take some of the tech from the ZR1 and bring it down to the Z06 (unlikely since the Z06 price increase for 2018s was ~$50), I almost feel like 2018 owners could get left out in the cold here. Or, just have a separate lawsuit I guess.

Would also be interesting to see data that they may have regarding overheating problems for day-to-day driving compared to track driving, because that's where the money really is. Otherwise, this is just a case of false advertising for track day instead of a safety issue IMO, since most insurance companies don't cover you on the track anyways.

Everyone will get A LOT more money if they can prove safety was impacted, but it's a much weaker case if it's mostly track only.

Drive what makes you happy, not what everyone else likes. It makes me feel good when I'm driving mine, that's why I bought it. I've liked vetts since I was 8yrs old.

okaythen

any updates on 2017 M7 ? doesn't seem to be overheating from few cases I heard.

But I think 17 M7 is also included in the class action lawsuit right? but it doesn't really overheat.

Jsilvester81

the 17 z07 equipped M7 just ran a 7:13 at the ring
more than likely the 17 M7 car is fixed unlike the rest of the c7z family.

I don't know why I bother coming onto this board. I have not been on for over a year, I came to just check for updates and news and I get this stupid Jerry Springer crap from a bunch trolls. I just want ot know if there is a over heating issue is GM has a fix for it. I personally have never experienced it in high heat and high humidity, but it would be nice to know if I ever did. Also this is the best Supercar I ever owned and Myself and my friends have owned quite a few. A oil change in a Ferrari is 600 bucks and you can't do a basic maintenance without dropping 3 K, try and track that thing and see how much is cost you. Screw warranty, the the basic cost of running a GT3 or any Ferrari on a track day and pay for any upgrade on the vette and then some for the over heating. If you can't afford to play, then don't and if you have whine do it at home.

Ummm seriously your reply is the same thing you are complaining about Most people expect the car to perform as advertised. Not going to void a warranty to fix something the General should be. If you can't add something relevant to this thread keep your whining to yourself.

I think you need to change your user name? If you have ever run/raced an A8 in 80* ambient running 9/10ths you will overheat within three laps, even in Ill. Those who can't drive to that 9/10th don't need to worry.

A quick read through the pages of this thread and didn't see this suggestion; apologize if a dup.

I performed several upgrades to my z06 and was told those that have the limp heat issue the best solution was to improve the air intake with something like the AfE filter, lower thermostat, and Meth injection to really cool the temps. I have more upgrades but my tune shop did drop my temps even on track days to 200-220 that I recall is a nice step-down.

Other common "solutions" talk about displacing the heat. Maybe the best solution is to lower the temps from the start. then if needed use some of these other solutions.

JMHO:

For entertainment I called CHEVY Customer Service to inquire what they intended to do with my open case---was informed when the NHSTA gets enough complaints we may get reimbursed for something. So um go to Mexico on the General and test the car to rack up failures ? WTF!!!!
