TRACK PREPARATION
User Guide
Stingray with Z51 and Z06
Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package and the Corvette Z06 have
been designed and engineered to be a world-class sports cars for the track.
But before unleashing its acceleration, cornering and braking capability,
there are several key procedures and steps that must be taken. This guide
includes an overview of requirements and recommendations. These are general
guidelines and are not all encompassing. Use good judgment at all times to
determine the appropriate adjustments and speeds for the track configuration
and environmental conditions. The Owner’s Manual contains important
restrictions, precautions and safety procedures. Always read and follow all of
the instructions in the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
DANGER: High-performance features are intended for use only on closed
tracks by experienced and qualified drivers and should not be used on public
roads. High-speed driving, aggressive cornering, hard braking, and other high-
performance driving can be dangerous. Improper driver inputs for the
conditions may result in loss of control of the vehicle, which could injure or
kill you or others. Always drive safely.
Note: This supplement is for Corvette Stingray with STINGRAY Z51
Performance Package and the Z06. Vehicles without the STINGRAY Z51 package or
non Z06 vehicles should not be used for track events and competitive driving.
Track events or competitive driving may affect the vehicle warranty. See the
warranty manual before using the vehicle for track events or other competitive
driving.

PREPARE THE BRAKES
WARNING : Some of the adjustments and procedures specified in this
section may require specialized skill, training and equipment. Failure to
perform these procedures properly could cause malfunction, potentially
resulting in death, personal injury or damage to the vehicle or property. Do
not attempt to perform these adjustments or procedures unless properly
qualified.
SERVICE NOTE: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE SERVICING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE
SYSTEM.
Due to the new electro-hydraulic brake apply system, it is critical to
disconnect the battery before servicing the brake system, including before
bleeding the system, replacing the pads, or any other work on the hydraulic
braking system. The battery must be disconnected to prevent the brake master
cylinder from pressurizing the hydraulic system during its automated self
diagnostic tests that can possibly occur when a door is opened or the key
transmitter is activated.
Bleeding the brake system with the battery connected can also lead to the
system diagnosing a leak or air in the braking system, potentially resulting
in a fault and vehicle speed limitation.
BRAKE FLUID
Replace existing brake fluid with a qualified DOT4 high performance brake
fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid with a dry boiling point >310 °C
(590 °F) is qualified. If high performance brake fluid is used, replace it
with GM approved brake fluid before driving on public roads. If high
performance brake fluid is in the vehicle and the age of the brake fluid is
over a month old or unknown, replace the brake fluid before track events and
competitive driving. Do not use silicone or DOT-5 brake fluids. Check the
fluid level before each competitive driving event.
Note: It is critical to disconnect the negative battery cable when any brake
fluid flush procedures are performed. Flush the brake system, either manually
bleeding or pressure bleeding is required. Vacuum bleeding is not recommended.
Check the fluid level before each driving event.
BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSHING & BLEEDING
The J55, J56 and J57 brake systems require specific processes for bleeding and
fluid flushing. These can be found in the service manual (information provided
in the owner’s manual).
Properly bleeding the brake system is required for proper operation of the
electro-hydraulic brake system diagnostic procedures.
BRAKE LEAK DETECTION
The electro-hydraulic braking system has advanced diagnostic capability to
help detect hydraulic leaks, trapped air, and other performance issues. These
diagnostics are active when the electrohydraulic system is powered. In order
to avoid inadvertently setting a leak fault, disconnect the battery before
servicing the brake system.
If the vehicle sets a fault related to a brake system leak, it will set a
Service Brake System indicator light and potentially limit vehicle speed to
100KPH/62MPH. Anytime a leak fault is set, the vehicle should be inspected
carefully for evidence of a leak and any leak should be repaired immediately.
Once the leak has been repaired, or the system has been properly bled, the
following procedure will confirm proper operation of the system, with no leaks
or trapped air. This procedure will clear the fault if the vehicle is
operating correctly.
BRAKE LEAK DETECTION FAULT C2A20
This fault indicates trapped air or a leak in the brake hydraulic circuit, and
the DIC displays “Brake System Failure – Speed Limit 100KPH/62MPH”. If this
fault is set during a brake bleed or other brake service procedure, the
following process will confirm that the circuit is good once the brake system
is properly bled. If this code persists in being set, there is a leak present
that has not been properly diagnosed and must be repaired.
Ignition/Vehicle » Off — For greater than 10 min
Ignition » On (green light) / Engine » Off — For greater than 15 s — Brake
Pedal Not Applied
Apply and hold the brake pedal. — For less than 120 s & full effort brake
pedal apply
If the leak has been repaired, the Brake warning indicator malfunction will
turn off
If the leak persists, the lamp will remain on and the vehicle needs to be
serviced
BRAKE FADE WARNING ASSIST
The Brake Fade Warning Assist system monitors the performance of the brake
system. If the system detects brake fade, or if the brake fluid is near the
boiling point, the driver will be alerted.
The Brake Fade Warning Assist system is designed for use with the factory-
installed brake pads or GM-approved replacement pads. If the brake pads on the
vehicle need to be replaced, use GM- approved brake pads. If this is not done,
the brake fade warning system may not function properly.
STAGE 1
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays a “Reduce Braking to Avoid
Overheating” message, a chime sounds and brake pedal effort and travel is
increased. When the message displays, the driver should back up braking points
and reduce brake usage in order to reduce brake temperature. This will allow
for continued lapping with no speed limitations
STAGE 2
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays a “Brakes Overheated Service Now” message, a chime sounds, and brake pedal effort and travel is further increased. This code indicates that the brake fluid temperature is excessive and is about to boil. The system limits vehicle speed to 100KPH/62MPH. The driver should immediately start a cool down lap if on the track. If this message displays, the vehicle needs to be serviced. The brake system needs to cool down, and the brake fluid must be immediately flushed with DOT4 for street use, or to a qualified DOT4 race fluid for track use. Boiled brake fluid is compromised and must be replaced.
To restore normal operation, if no GM service tool is available, the following
should be completed:
Cool brakes
- Inspect system for leaks (a boil can behave similarly to a leak), repair as necessary
- Flush brake fluid that has experienced boil (follow proper bleeding procedures with battery disconnected)
- Car must be parked for at least 10 minutes, key off
- Perform at least three easy to moderate brake applies while driving
- Brake System will measure itself during brake application, DIC message and brake warning indicators will extinguish when normal operation is restored.
BRAKE BURNISHING
New brake pads must be burnished before racing or other competitive driving.
When this procedure is performed as instructed, it will not damage the brakes.
The brake pads will smoke and produce an odor. The braking force and pedal
travel may increase. After the procedure, the brake pads may appear white at
the rotor contact. Perform this procedure only on dry pavement, in a safe
manner, and in compliance with all local and state ordinances/laws regarding
motor vehicle operation.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE FOR J55 (STINGRAY WITH Z51) AND J56 (Z06
STANDARD) BRAKES
This brake burnish procedure should only be performed on vehicles with the Z06
with J56, or STINGRAY Z51 with J55 factory equipped brake systems.
STEP 1 | STEP 2 | STEP 3 | STEP 4 |
---|
Using the friction bubble in the Cluster Performance menu, apply the brakes 25
times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph)
to 50 km/h (30 mph) while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake
application.
Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applying the brakes.
This first step may be skipped if there are more than 320 km (200 mi) on the
brake pads.| Apply the brakes 25 times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph) to 25
km/h (15 mph) while decelerating at 0.8 g. This is a hard brake application
without
activating the Antilock Brake System (ABS). Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi)
between applications. Depending on
conditions, some increase in brake pedal travel and brake pedal force may be
experienced.| Cool down: Drive at 100 km/h
(60 mph) for approximately 15
km (10 mi) without using the
brakes.| Apply the brakes 25 times from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph)
while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake
application. Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applications.
As with all high performance brake systems, some amount of brake squeal is normal.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE FOR Z06 WITH AVAILABLE J57 CARBON CERAMIC
BRAKES
This brake burnish procedure should only be run on Z06 vehicles with J57
factory equipped brake systems. Perform this procedure only on dry pavement,
in a safe manner, and in compliance with all local and state ordinances
regarding motor vehicle operation.
STEP 1 | STEP 2 | STEP 3 | STEP 4 |
---|
Using the friction bubble in the Cluster Performance menu, apply the brakes 25
times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph) while
decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake application.
Drive for at least 1.6 km (1.0 mi) between applications. This first step may
be skipped if there are more than 320 km (200 mi) on the brake pads.| Apply
the brakes 20 times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph) to 25 km/h (15 mph)while
decelerating at 0.8 g. This is a hard brake application. Drive for at least
1.6 km (1.0 mi) bet ween applications.| Apply the brakes 12 times
starting at 100 km/h (60 mph)
to 8 km/h (5 mph) while decelerating at 0.8 g.
This is a hard brake application.
Accelerate as rapidly as possible
without activating traction
control between applications.| Cool down: Drive at 100 km/h
(60 mph) for approximately 15
km (10 mi) without using the
brakes.
As with all high performance brake systems, some amount of brake squeal is
normal.
ALTERNATIVE CLOSED COURSE BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE FOR J55 (STINGRAY WITH
Z51), J56 (Z06 STANDARD), AND J57 (Z06 CARBON CERAMIC) BRAKES
This brake burnish procedure should be run on vehicles with the STINGRAY Z51
with J55, Z06 with J56, or Z06 with J57 factory equipped brake systems.
This procedure should only be run on a track and only on dry pavement. Brake
pedal fade will occur during this track burnish procedure and can cause brake
pedal travel and force to increase. This could extend stopping distance until
the brakes are fully burnished.
STEP 1 | STEP 2 | STEP 3 |
---|
Start track lapping at lower speeds and lower braking efforts for three
minutes of driving. Allow for increased braking distances due to reduced brake
output.| After Step 1, increase speed and braking effort for the next six
minutes of lapping, gradually ending up at 90% effort.
Continue to allow for increased braking distance due to reduced brake output.|
Cool the brakes by lapping with minimal
light braking for six minutes.
BRAKE COOLING KIT
Before any track event, high speed driving event, or competitive driving, the
following should be completed:
Ensure all brake cooling parts are correctly and securely installed.
Install the rear lower control arm cooling ducts (4. below) per the
instructions included with the kit. After any track event or competitive
driving, remove the rear lower control arm cooling ducts. These parts are for
track use only.
Removing the ducts helps prevent debris from being channeled into the rear
brakes during regular use of the vehicle.
Inspect for and remove any blockage in the ducts.
Inspect and replace any duct that has damage.
- Front Brake Cooling Duct
- Front Lower Control Arm Deflector
- Rear Knuckle Mounted Cooling Duct
- Rear Lower Control Arm Cooling Duct
POWERTRAIN COOLING
For vehicles with the optional front screen guards (VWE), remove them for
track events when the ambient temperature reaches 90 degrees F (32 degrees C)
or higher. See your dealer for complete procedure.
For Z06 vehicles only, remove the front license plate and bracket (if installed) and remove the front aero covers before track use. See your dealer for complete procedure.
If reduced performance is experienced during track events or competitive driving, turning off the A/C will help to improve engine performance. Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to optimize engine performance.
FUEL
Unleaded gasoline, rated at 93 octane or higher, is required.
ENGINE SOUND MANAGEMENT SETTING
Do not place the vehicle in Engine Sound Management – Stealth mode. Damage
could result to exhaust valve actuators.
AERODYNAMICS
UNDERBODY STRAKE INSPECTION (FOR Z06 VEHICLES WITH SPOILER REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTIONS, CARBON AERO PACKAGES (RPO T0F/T0G) For optimal aero performance, ensure the front strakes are solidly attached to the underbody and damage free. If not, replace with service parts.
CORVETTE Z06 RECOMMENDED AERODYNAMIC CONFIGURATIONS

WHEEL LUG TORQUE
Prior to each track event and again before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a crash. See Capacities and
Specifications section of the Vehicle Owners Manual for wheel lug torque
specifications.
Z06 with Z07 Performance Package Equipped With Carbon Fiber Wheels (RPOs ROY and ROZ) When participating in Track Events or Competitive Driving with these wheels, a proper cool down without hot soaking the wheels is critical.
- On a typical road course 3.2–6.5 km (2-4 miles) long per lap, one cool down lap without using the brakes will suffice. If the track being driven is shorter than 3.2 km (2 mi), perform two cool down laps without using the brakes.
- If adequate cool down without using the brakes cannot be achieved (i.e., red flag on track, have to stop unexpectedly, etc.), the key is to not have one area of the wheels exposed to the “chimney effect” of the heat that rises off of a stationary hot brake rotor. This can be prevented by very low speed driving of the car such that the entire circumference of the wheel is exposed to the heat. Rolling the car back and forth in a small space is better than sitting still with hot brakes.
ADJUST FOUR CORNERS AND ALIGNMENT
WARNING: Some of the adjustments and procedures specified in this section may
require specialized skill, training and equipment. Failure to perform these
procedures properly could cause malfunction, potentially resulting in death,
personal injury or damage to the vehicle or property. Do not attempt to
perform these adjustments or procedures unless properly qualified.
SHOCK SPRING SEAT ADJUSTMENT, TIRE PRESSURES AND ALIGNMENT
The front shocks, on vehicles without hydraulic front lift and rear shocks,
have threaded spring seats that allow adjustment of the vehicle ride height.
The vehicle corner weights can be adjusted for track use. If the vehicle ride
height is modified, it should be returned to normal ride height before street
use. The spring seat can be adjusted approximately 0.8 in (20 mm) up or down
from the nominal position. Each complete turn of the spring seat will change
the vehicle height approximately 0.06 in (1.5 mm). When adjusting the seat to
the upper limit, lift the dust boot and ensure the seat does not thread off
the center support tube. Stop adjustment when threads are no longer visible.
When adjusting the seat to the lower limit, leave approximately 0.4 in (10 mm)
of thread visible for the lower lock nut to have full thread engagement.
To adjust the lower spring seat:
STEP 1 | STEP 2 | STEP 3 | STEP 4 | STEP 5 |
---|
Raise the vehicle so the
tires are completely off
the ground.| Loosen the lower spring
seat lock nut (2)| Thread the lower spring
seat lock nut (2) downward off of the
threads to its resting
location on the shoulder
of the center support
tube.| While holding the center
support tube holes, turn
the spring seat (1) upward
to raise the vehicle height, or
downward to lower the vehicle
height| Thread the lower lock nut (2) back on to the center support tube and
torque it against the spring seat (1) to 18.4 lb.-ft. (25 Nm).
LOAD LIMIT
STINGRAY WITH Z51 | Z06 |
---|
Limit vehicle load to the driver only, with no other cargo.
Inflate the front tires to 160 kPa (23 psi) and the rear tires to 165 kPa (24
psi). Drive at a maximum speed of 296 km/h (184 mph).
Road Course target hot pressures are 220–240 kPa (32–35 psi).
Value will vary based on driving style, track, temperature, and weather
conditions.
See Tire Pressure for High-Speed Operation in Vehicles Owners Manual for
sustained high speed non-track use.| Limit vehicle load to the driver only,
with no other cargo.
Tracks with Combined High-Speed and High-Load Corners (e.g., Nurburgring
Nordschliefe, Spa Francorchamps, or similar) Cold Tire Pressure Requirement:
Inflate tires to no less than 210 kPa (30 psi) front and rear, cold.
Hot Tire Pressure Target Range: 220 – 240 kPa (32-35 psi).
Road/Street Courses (e.g., Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta, or
similar)
Cold Tire Pressure Requirement:
Inflate tires to no less than 165 kPa (24 psi) front and rear, cold.
Hot Tire Pressure Target Range: 220 – 240 kPa (32-35 psi).
See Tire Pressure for High-Speed Operation in Vehicles Owners Manual for
sustained high speed non-track use.
Note : After track use, reinstall washers between the body and the control arms. Reset to factory alignment.
WARNING : Tracks/courses put high loads on tires operating at high speed,
which can lead to tire failure if not inflated properly. Improper tire
inflation pressure can put additional strain on the tires and can cause a
sudden failure. Make sure the tires are in excellent condition and use the
correct cold tire inflation pressure for the vehicle load and track/course.
WARNING : Track/course loads wear tires both on the tread and internal to
the tire. When driven in track/course conditions, even if tread is not worn
down to the treadwear indicator, tires must be replaced after the equivalent
of two tanks of fuel or approximately 160 km (100 mi).
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
CAUTION: Do not use power tools when removing or installing the fasteners.
Damage to the threads may occur. Use hand tools only, and do not overtighten.
Hand start the fasteners to ensure that the threads do not bind or cross
thread. The racing and competitive driving wheel alignment settings should be
set as described here.
STINGRAY WITH Z51
To achieve the track alignment specified settings:
- The upper control arm to body washers on all four corners will need to be relocated from between the body and the control arm to between the head of the bolt and the control arm.
- Adjust the lower control arm cam bolt position to achieve the following specifications.

FLUID LEVELS
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
If the vehicle is used for track events and competitive driving, the engine
may use more oil than it would with normal use. Low oil levels can damage the
engine. Check the oil level often and maintain the proper level. 0W-40 dexos2™
engine oil is approved for both track and street use. 15W-50 full synthetic
engine oil may also be used for track use, but after track use must be changed
back to 0W-40 dexos2 for street use.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID
Transmission fluid and external filter should be changed after every 24 hours
of track usage. If prompted by the transmission fluid life monitor that
remaining fluid life is low, the fluid and filter should be changed as soon as
possible.
STINGRAY Z51 | Z06 |
---|
Add an additional 2 qt (2 L) of DCT transmission fluid prior to track usage.
It is not required to remove the additional 2 qt (2 L) of DCT fluid after the
track event.
Any transmission level set or change should be performed at your dealer. The
transmission fluid used in the dual clutch transmission is a specific
transmission fluid. Use of unapproved fluid may cause damage to the
transmission. See your dealer for the proper transmission fluid.| Additional
transmission fluid is not required for the Z06.
The Z06 comes track ready from the factory.
DRIVER MODE AND PTM SETTINGS (IF EQUIPPED)
DRIVER MODE SELECTOR
Track mode should be selected for track use or competitive driving. The outer
ring of the Driver Mode Selector is located on the console under the wrist
pad. It rotates to change the modes, which display in the instrument cluster.
You can also set desired track settings for the steering wheel-mounted Z-mode
button.
COMPETITIVE DRIVING MODE
Competitive Driving mode allows full engine power, while StabiliTrak/ESC helps
maintain directional control of the vehicle by selective brake application. In
this mode, the TCS is off and Launch Control is available.
Adjust your driving style to account for the available engine power. In order
to select this optional handling mode, the vehicle mode must be set to Sport
or Track. If equipped with Performance Traction Management (PTM), then
Competitive Driving mode is only available in Sport.
Then, quickly press the traction control button on the center console two
times.
ESC COMPETITIVE MODE displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
PERFORMANCE TRACTION MANAGEMENT
All Corvette Z06 and Stingray models that are equipped with Z51 Performance
