I have had mine on my car for over 1000 miles. There is a tech bulletin out and if the car is under warranty then GM pays to have it installed. The green belt on my car made the car drive totally normally. Check to see if the car is under warranty and have GM put the belt on the car if you are experiencing 4-8 cylinder wobble which is really annoying. Car drives perfectly now.

Yes...is you hold the gas steady the belt will continue to wobble as I think it is cycling between 4 and 8 cylinders and the computer can't seem to make up its mind...I was so frustrated I was driving in manual mode and paddle shifting to keep it in 8...the green belt cured the problem.
I own 4 supercharged Jaguars in my car collection and have had a GT500 in the past with superchargers and have never experienced this kind of belt issue...they run just fine. Its that 4-8 cylinder stuff which Corvette should not be doing in my opinion....its a sports car....gas economy is not my primary focus when I drive...I want good performance out of my V8.
I don't know what to call it...a bobble or wobble is correct...I called it a vibration...but boy was it annoying!

Anyone just replaced the belt yourself to not have the dealership mess with your car? Thinking of just doing it myself but haven’t really been able to find much information on the process

I'm wondering this too. Approaching 3rd year of ownership and i don't have any problems thank god but i would still like to keep up with "maintenance" if this would even be considered that.

I don't like going to dealers either.
I went with the Gates 'Black' (like stock) RPM Racing belt. According to Gates it's their strongest belt. So far I have not had any problems on the street or at the track.
PS: A green belt to me sticks out like a green thumb under the hood.
