Corvette Z06 Owners Claim Track Driving Cripples Car After Only 15 Minutes

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 owners have filed a fourth class action against General Motors relating to a cooling defect with the high-performance supercar.

The class action, filed by law firms Hagens Berman, Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, the Miller Law Firm, and Schuler Halvorsen Weisser Zoller Overbeck, claims that Chevrolet knowingly sold Z06 models with a cooling system defect that renders them stuck at low, unsafe speeds after about 15 minutes of track driving.

Hopefully, this issue will be addressed so that it does not impact the mid-engined Zora / Corvette-ish model.

Not that this solves the issue, but I'm assuming that GM will argue the warranty applies to street use and not to track/racing. I've not seen the two Z06s I've played with do anything untoward, but clearly some people are pissy.

And to add insult to injury, anyone seen the recent video of the stock Z06 running against a stock 718 Cayman S on a drag strip. Who'd ever think that the 4 cylinder "hairdresser" car is faster than the 8 cylinder 'vette?
