Front License Plate/Bracket
Removal (ZL1 Only)
For track use, the front license plate
and bracket can be removed from
the fascia for increased airflow.
Remove the license plate to access
the four screws that attach the
license plate bracket to the front
fascia.
Water Deflector
If operating a ZL1 on a closed
course in hot temperatures, remove
the water deflector to increase
airflow and improve cooling.
Remove the three bolts. Replace
immediately after track use to
protect the engine compartment
from water intrusion. Torque to
4.5Y (40 lb in).
Wicker Bill
A rear spoiler wicker bill is available
for LS/LT and SS with the 1LE
package only. If equipped with a
wicker bill, use the instructions for
installation.
Underbody Air Deflector Tire
Dam Kit
The underbody air deflector tire dam
kit provided with ZL1 vehicles
reduces the amount of aerodynamic
lift on the front axle for better
handling. The original tire dams

4. Using the hex feature on thetop of the mount, turn the top
mount 180° until the TRACK
CAMBER text is visible and the
second set of top mount holes
aligns with the strut tower
holes.
5. Reinstall the top mount bolts and torque to 29 Y
(21.4 lb ft).
6. Keep the top mount alignment pin and bolt for reinstallation
when the struts are returned to
the street position following the
track event.
7. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment per track alignment
specifications to optimize
vehicle performance for the
track event.
8. Verify and re-adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following
the track event. Strut Spring Seat Adjustment
The front struts have a threaded
spring seat that allows adjustment
of the preload on the front springs.
The vehicle corner weights and front
trim heights can be adjusted.
The spring seat can be adjusted
approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) up or
down from the nominal position.
Each complete turn of the spring
perch will change the vehicle height
approximately 1.4 mm (0.06 in). Do
not allow the spring seat to contact
the black seal cap when adjusting in
the maximum upward direction.
To adjust the lower spring seat:
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are completely off the ground.
2. Loosen the lower spring seatbolt. Do not completely remove
the bolt.
3. Turn the spring perch upward to increase spring preload,
or downward to decrease
spring preload.
4. Torque the spring seat bolt to 10Y (7.4 lb ft).
5. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following
the spring seat adjustment.

events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available
when the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the
Performance Traction
Management modes are
selected. The traction off light
comes on in the instrument
cluster and the appropriate
Driver Information Center (DIC)
message displays.
. The vehicle is not moving.
. The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
Manual Transmissions
. The clutch is fully pressed and
the transmission is in
1 (First) gear.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied and held to wide open
throttle. Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the clutch, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip.
Automatic Transmissions
.
The brake pedal is firmly
pressed to the floor, equivalent
to a panic brake event.
. The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle.
If the vehicle rolls due to wide
open throttle, release the
throttle, press the brake pedal
more firmly, and re-apply the
accelerator to wide open throttle.
Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply
the accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the brake pedal, while maintaining
the fully pressed accelerator pedal,
will manage wheel slip. After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM,
and Launch Control are systems
designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack of
driver experience or familiarity with
the race track.
Custom Launch Control may be
available through the Settings
menu, if equipped. See
“Custom
Launch Control” in Track Events
and Competitive Driving in the
owner ’s manual.
Limited-Slip Differential
The Electronic Limited-Slip
Differential (eLSD) is a hydraulically
actuated clutch system. It can
infinitely vary the clutch
engagement between 0 and
200Y(147 lb ft) of breakaway
torque between the rear wheels.
It responds to full engagement
