I've had a 15 A8 07, that GM replaced w 17. My 17 A8 07, can run about 5-10 minutes more on track than the 15 did, before overheating. Strangely the oil temp seems to climb to 300 faster than the coolant. ? don't understand this. FYI- My 15 came with instructions to add 1/2 qt of oil for track use, then remove. I got oil ingestion into the intake while throwing it around the track. Then that changed, and that is not the recommendation now. I'm thinking that was a way of helping with oil overheating w more volume, small as it may be???

Im happy w my 17, but certainly can't compete on the track for over 12-15 minutes of hard driving. and yes, even paddling/short shifting.

The YouTube post was from October 2015, so this likely was a first year Z06. When I went last year, we were instructed to use the paddle shifters on our A8's, and that is supposed to help reduce chance of overheating...which may have been a procedural result of incidents like that.

I didn't take it as "bad mouthing" as informing the driver what was happening.. Two and half years later (since this video was posted) the subject was met with mild silence and a change of subject. Something has been said.

Can you just do the COS then run level 3 or do you have to take level 2 first?

Does anyone know or heard of the 2019 Z06 over heating?

it made no changes since 2017 so it would have the same outcome Manuals being fine automatics overheating.

COS counts as level 1. You can take level 2 after COS, but if Level 3 requires level 2, than my understanding is no ou can not go from COS (Level 1 light) to level 3.
