What owners wrote

My corvette is a z06 that is designed and built for track use. When I use it on track it overheats and goes into limp mode after about 15 mins. Sometimes the power steer faults making it difficult and dangerous to control the car. I do not use it regularly on the street.

Reported at 1,800 miles, October 2017
