It's also going to heat up a lot different than the radial does.

I like the idea of not having to pedal the launch as much. That's probably going to throw me off at first. I've developed an instinct to lift the throttle slightly when it starts to spin - just enough to hook in the power band. It's really tough to get it just right. My hope is that I'll be able to apply more power much sooner without activating that blood-sucking torque limiter.

It's frustrating haha. Tuning it is nothing like it was on the LS platform. You can't just go in and shut that off anymore. You have to trick it with funny air tables and things of that nature (I don't know exactly because I didn't tune this car.)

The intrusive torque management is the single most disappointing thing about the ZL1. I love the car but this is so frustrating... Still, I do enjoy a challenge. It's certainly been that trying to work around the TM.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
