I wouldn't buy it yet as a first year model BUT power cutting isn't convincing me to dismiss it yet. And I wanna see it against a GT-R Nismo
From what I gathered in the Vette forums, a couple owners had their Z06 dynoed, and after 3 or 4 pulls were already losing between 20-30whp.

Here is what Vengeance Racing had to say-
"With the OE calibration we did experience the same thing... The timing tables are EXTREMELY conservative and the ECU will pull timing for almost any situation. I am waiting for owners to complain about "tip in" as the ECU pulls a massive amount of timing when slightly touching the gas pedal.

All that being said, MOST of the loss of power can be addressed in the ECU.. IAT2 temps are actually quite impressive, even after multiple pulls on the chassis dyno. We will get on the highway in the next couple of days and make some back to back "multi gear" runs for comparison sake."
