This whole Z51 badge and model thing never ends here, and get's downright disrespectful of peoples preferences. What difference does it make if it's a "model" or not. For C6, it's not a model. For...

Thanks for the reply's. The car did not display any messages during this event. The wheel speed sensor seems like a likely culprit. If so, it's probably an easy fix.
