It's a commonly reported problem in the Corvette community, and he's trying to get GM to buy the car back as it's been a problem they can't seem to solve without additional trans coolers etc.

I believe that's a problem w/ the new 8-speed auto trans in "track mode/2," which is the serious comp mode. I've never seen that reported for the manual, which is all I'm interested in.

At any rate, name one high performance car that is without some reported issues. I can't.

Foosh - if you're looking for a track car with a stick, you really should be considering a user Gen V Viper over a 'Vette. The Viper is a much better track car.

Earlier 997 chassis GT3s
Porsche Carrera GT (I have always wanted one)
Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta

But to come back on the topic of a track car, I am returning my F soon and I want to find some time and try a Gen V Viper, the new C7 Z and the Cayman GT4. My last resort is an F-TYPE R (2015, I dont want the AWD).
