I don't fully buy into the long first gear claim, bc my m6 c6 would run to 55 in first and the c6z would do 60-62 I believe, both didn't bog down near as bad on the initial launch. I'm not sure about the last gen gt500 or vipers, but they could all reach 60 or close to it in first gear as well
That's also a very good point too as far as et's but, like you said, they're trying to be more realistic with their times. I've read where GM claims their times on corvettes and camaros on unprepped surfaces....which would tie into your point of a realistic time. So you could say they'd do the same for the m6 too, which still wouldn't matter since if they could knock off .3 just by running on a prepped surface in the auto, you could also do it with the manual, which cal has almost already demonstrated exactly with his m6 zl1, knocking .2 off what GM claims.

I completely disagree!
They aren't protecting the clutch, They don't have to warranty that part..
They are protecting the M6 and or the rear end...

Could be a simple mistake with the programing and they corrected on the 18's. We shall see!!
