I thought GM fixed these problems? Or was that the 350 with their cooking issues?

I’ll agree on the lawyers get rich and you’ll be lucky to break even. Just went through this on a crappy real estate deal. Literally settled for 27500 and paid the lawyer 27k and change over two years.

However this is class action and I’ve never heard of having to pay up front on those.

Yeah class action means they are gonna mail you a check for like $3.72 after the lawyers get their hundreds of thousands lol.

Only one I've been involved in I didn't even know i was involved until it was over and I got a check in the mail. I had applied for a job and was told pending the background check I was hired. I never heard anything back for like a week so I called the manager who told me according to my criminal history I wasn't eligible to be employed there. I've never even been arrested before so I was quite confused. He wouldn't go into further details. I get my background check in the mail and it has me listed as a violent felon in texas. So I called the texas sheriff office where the charges were thinking I had my identity stolen. They confirmed the guy with the record was a guy with the same name and birthday as me, but different social. Basically the background agency didn't do their due diligence and only ran my name/birthdate not my social which I had provided. They reported false information to my soon to be employer which cost me a job. It took over a month for them to clear it up and by that time the job was gone.

Anyways they had a class action suit filed against them for this very reason and I got a pitiful check in the mail. I think it was something around 70 bucks.

15 and 16 only the 17's is suppose to be fixed at least that was what Juechter said down in Bowling Green in 2017 when it came to the Z06
There may have been some early models of the 2017 year affected as the law suit states 2015-2017 Z06 cars.
I'm going off the article posted.

Oh I agree there might be a few 2017's involved, I was just telling what Tadge Juechter, the head engineer of Corvette said down in the 2017 April Corvette bash. One 2016 Z06 owner even said to him that the 2009-13 ZR-1 made 638 HP and you used a 2300 TVS s/c for that. And so the C7 Z06 makes about 15 more HP and you put a 1700 TVS on it, seems to me you went backwards.

Really I just found out how Callaway does their 2300 TVS s/c that they put on their Camaro's and Vettes. It sits upside down on the engine and so it blows the air upwards against the rotor housing roof where there is the first intercooler, it then goes off to the sides and then down into the V of the LT-1/4 wherre there is an IC on either side for the intake ports so that the air charge has 3 IC's to go through and Callaway also exposed the SC to the outside air as a 4th way to cool the S/C and the air charge. But Callaway can have his S/C exposed while GM needs to have it covered up due to some states rules and laws saying any new vehicles being sold has to have their engines enclosed in a fire resistant space, hence why the new ZR-1 has such a large cowling on it. Callaway has a low volume mfg exemption and so can sell his cars without worrying about this.

Very cool man. Awesome info.
The Callaway Z06 cars are awesome. I think it's 757HP and 777TQ, IIRC?? Man, that has a lot of cooling. I bet that helps a ton with the power/torque numbers.
