When I had my 2015 I seriously considered it. Had I not sold it and ordered my 2016 A8 I would have. That M7 is really a close ration 4 speed with 3 overdrive gears in it. I think if you put some 4.56 or 4.11's it would really wake it up, but prolly stil.l be hard to launch with much power.

I don't think there is gearing available yet so no use considering it.

Motive shows they have a 3.90 and 4.10 for the C7 but doesn't specify if it works with the Z06. Are the differentials different between Z06 and non z06?

I called Motive right now and they said it is just a number in the system, part doesn't exist and nothing shows on order to bring them into existence.

Well that's unfortunate. I googled the number and it showed up on other sites too.

There is nothing to consider as they aren't available. A couple companies have been trying to work things out a few years with no luck.

C7 has been out for 5 years. What could be the hold up

. The C8 will be out before we get aftermarket gearing options at this rate.

I believe it has to do with the size/space in the Differential. Just not enough room. I highly doubt they come up with anything.

well ladies you are kinda right. you CAN change the gearing just have to do so in the tranny. if you put a z51 tranny or send the z06 tranny to rpm you can change the first three gear sets. and yes it makes all the difference in the world.
