Shifting at a lower RPM would only help if the car is no longer making power (Well above 6800-7500+ stock) or the tires spinning out of control and continuing to rev out the engine will just spin them more. Neither of which should ever happen on a ZL1.

Ive used this feature many times but I'm a little hesitant to use it from 1st to 2nd. Have any of you done it?

Leave the nannies on and you'll be ok. I have seen people with Z06s NLS 1-2 and when the torque hits in 2 with nannies off the car loses control. But if you leave it in normal sport mode then you'll be fine.

Ok, this is a full session at the National Corvette Museum MSP. I posted the full session so you can see when I’m using NLS and when I’m not. Anytime you see the gas stay 100% green and a shift occur= NLS. On my outlap I never use NLS, but at 2:05 you can hear the NLS timing cut very clearly as I’m next to a concrete wall for the 3-4 shift on the straight. It sounds CRAZY inside and outside the car. Pretty sure all SS-ZL1’s have NLS.

thanks for the video...

my SS definitely has never done what yours did at 2:14 (blahhh sound, rpms going DOWN from 6000+ to under 5000, all while full throttle)

I'm 99.9% sure I did not lift at all when I shifted... but I need to do one more time and make sure I'm around 6000 rpm just to compare the situation... i'm pretty sure it will just go to 6500 but I will double check, again.

NLS works regardless of mode. WOT and bang gears.
