The 2014 Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package has been designed and engineered to be a world-class sports car for the track. But before unleashing its acceleration, cornering and braking capability, there are several key procedures and steps that must be taken in order to properly experience its track prowess. For full details and information, see the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

That's interesting and good info...

Of the many things its good for, it pretty much tells that the NCM Museum Delivery for a new Corvette would be a problem for many owners who would immediately take to the open highway to get the car home and drive at a constant speed and RPM for hours....

I would think that most would be aware of this and vary their speeds accordingly for the first 500 miles. I do agree that it would take a conscious effort.

Yes it was a conscious but now we're ready to go when the temperature cooperates.

I'm definitely with you on that.

I would think for the safety of everyone, the track mode should not work at all for the first 500 miles. I remember the mayhem of the 60's when well off Dads bought a 427/435
for a HS graduation present. 7.35 tires, a rainy night and no air bags. Just a seldom worn lap belt

I'm glad that times have changed since those days. From the look of it, most of the people here are buying the cars for themselves. I know I definitely would not buy one for child...

I'd have to disagree with track mode not working in the first 500 miles, because it doesn't take track mode to not be able to respect the power and find yourself in "deep" trouble.

Those 427's were some very nice cars.

would anyone actually change the alignment before and after track events. sounds cost prohibitive
