Stock, you'll never go into limp mode. I've never heard of it happening. Maybe in an hour lapping session in Death Valley or something.

Boosted, anything is possible, but it's really beside the point. The Z does it (quickly and regularly) while stock, on a racetrack, and the Vette doesn't.

What did you have for FI on your Vette? Supercharger or turbo?
