Unfortuatly I still have the same marbles in a can sound in 1st gear when starting out just like I had in the z06. I called Tremrec and was told it's normal, something called rollover.
That's not my question.
When starting out in 1st gear not only do I hear the marbles in a can sound (which I know what it is) and the sucking sound of the supercharger but I also hear a slight high pitched sound almost sounding like a belt is loose but it's not. Does anyone else hear this.
Should I be concerned?
Obviously if I increase the rpm's taking off in 1st I hear none of the above mentioned sounds.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Shepard
The solution is taking off in 1st gear with more RPM. All the bad noises go away and all the good noises start happening. Don't worry be happy with your 2013 Zr1. -- you got the last of the beasts

I love driving my 2012 ZO6, but is has never conspired with my right foot to try to kill me like my 2011 ZR1 has.

The ZR1 just seems to have torque everywhere and anywhere. I have to drive my ZO6 like I'm mad at it to get close to the same feeling.

And congrats to Shepard!

For the money there is no better car on the planet in my highly-biased, non-humble opinion. Enjoy your awesome new machine.
