I get stuck in the occasional 10 mins of traffic but its not my daily. mostly more spirited driving. After a 2 day track weekend and 4+ hrs of track time it raised from 32 to 33 avg.

anyone elses long term avg speed read questionable low?
Depends on whether it includes zero speed "on hours." If Avg MPH = Miles driven / Engine Hours, then it may make total sense. Should be easy enough to prove.

Good point and makes sense that could possibly explain it.

i just think its funny whenever i flick through the settings and see that avg speed at today 33. in one hand i feel like 'what the hell, thats embarrassing", and the other is like "ya right! ha!"

Produced May 2019, picked up June 14, currently has 925km or approx 575 miles.

I’m lucky enough to have two “Weekend cars”, one of which is Stephanie my ZL1. Splitting time between the two on weekends equates to not a lot of mileage... At the rate I’m going she’s only going to have 5000km by the time my power train warranty is up!

Really love the car.

Weird to say but not sure if I should worry about the low mileage, I don’t want to have her at 5 yrs old, out of warranty, and have a failed oil pump or worse that I would be on the hook for! Guess that’s the risk you assume...

+12,000, +1100 on track during extremely hot summer months, some hot seating sessions back to back (50 mins continuous track), flawless, only consumables.

1700 miles and 1400 of that was moving from TN to CO. I have multiple cars and a bike, so I only take this one out cruising when the urge hits.

The urge hits me every time I need to go somewhere. Low miles on my other vehicles these last few years.....

7400 miles since June of 2018. Too depressed and anxious about a divorce that has taken over 2 years to settle, and is still not over, to drive it much. Hard to enjoy the car with a great worry all the time.

Hopefully, the case will settle soon.

Hey Mark-

Quit thinking and do more driving, or start thinking about doing more driving! Your Z is your time machine, it'll take you where ever you want to go, just get in and there's nothing but you, the car, the wind and music, there's really nothing else to think about, it's your therapy, so you don't need therapy Hang in there buddy...

No issues so far. She doesn't get driven much anymore. Will probably sell it here soon.
