2000 performance change ?
When my 2024 Z06 passed 2000 miles I almost immediately noticed a performance change. Throttle response and torque increased. Does anyone know if GM had an ECU limitation that was removed at 2000 miles?
yes I am aware of the 1500 mile limitation , etc . and been driving sports cars for many years. I thought it was my imagination, but I also might just be nuts.

If anyone cares . Well my butt dyno was working but not so much my simple DIY problem solving .
I had installed ( and very much like ) a Solar throttle controller. The control head is in my center console. For street driving I like Sport 0 on the controller. At some point I must inadvertently caused it to go to Sport 3 .

I disconnected the wired controller and only use the app. Keeps this from happening and allows me to lock the throttle without a local controller.
