I think the M6 SS and all ZL1s are inflicted with the bog. I suppose it's intentional to protect the drive train, especially the silly electronic diff. It is 40 pounds heavier than the old school diff.
The bog happens as you launch the car. Even people watching in the know notice say they see the hesitation. It is very subtle and on the M6 Chevy says the right launch will minimize the bog. This bog is not in the tune.
Of course this explains why 650 HP M6 ZL1s can have trouble getting into the 11s. And why I bought an A10 ZL1. Love driving the car but it is a bit boring to drag race.
