TRACK PREPARATION

The 2014 Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package has been designed and engineered to be a world-class sports car for
the track. But before unleashing its acceleration, cornering and braking capability, there are several key procedures and steps that
must be taken in order to properly experience its track prowess. For full details and information, see the vehicle Owner’s Manual.

Please Note: The Corvette Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package is the recommended model for track use.

1. ATTAIN THE RIGHT MILEAGE

NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN (OWNER’S MANUAL: 9-17)

All Corvette Stingray models have a recommended break-in period during the first 1,500 miles (2414km) that will prolong their
performance and driving precision.

PART/DRIVING BEHAVIOR TIME PERIOD RECOMMENDED ACTION

Tires First 200 miles (322km) Drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering
Brake linings First 200 miles (322km) Avoid making hard stops (recommended every time

brake linings are replaced)
Full-throttle starts and abrupt stops First 500 miles (800km) Avoid full-throttle starts and abrupt stops
Exceeding 4000 rpm First 500 miles (800km) Avoid exceeding 4000 rpm
Cruise control or driving at one

constant speed
Letting the engine labor or lugging the

engine

Track or competitive driving First 1,500 miles (2414km) Do not participate in track events, sport driving schools

Engine oil First 1,500 miles (2414km) Check engine oil with every refueling and add if

First 500 miles (800km) Avoid cruise control or driving at one constant speed

First 500 miles (800km) Avoid letting the engine labor or lugging the engine.

With a manual transmission, shift to the next lower gear

(this rule applies at all times, not just during the break-

in period)

or similar activities

necessary (oil and fuel consumption may be higher than

normal during the first 1,500 miles)

2. SEASON THE BRAKES

BRAKE BURNISH PROCEDURE (OWNER’S MANUAL: 9-9)

After the new vehicle break-in period, Corvette Stingray Z51 Performance Package brake pads must be burnished (following the
steps below) before racing or competitive driving.

1. Medium Brake Application: Apply the
brakes 25 times starting at 60 mph
(100km/h) to 30 mph (50km/h) while
decelerating at 0.4 g. Drive for at least

0.6 miles (1km/h) between applying
the brakes. This first step may be
skipped if there are more than 200
miles (320km/h) on the brake pads.

Please Note: The brake burnish procedure is specific to the Z51 brake package and should not be run on any other models as damage may result. 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 and in a safe manner and in compliance with all local
and state ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle operation.

Rotor cooling rings (provided at the time of vehicle delivery in a clear plastic bag) are recommended
for track use (driving without the rotor cooling rings may result in brake pedal fade). Do not leave them
installed after a track event, as this may cause corrosion with long-term use. Installation instructions are
included with the rings and can be found in section 9-7 of the Owner’s Manual.

2. Hard Brake Application: Repeatedly
apply the brakes from 60 mph
(100km/h) to 15 mph (25km/h) while
decelerating at 0.8 g. Drive for at least

0.6 miles (1km/h) between stops.
Repeat until the brake pedal travel
starts to increase. Depending on
conditions, this should take no longer
than 25 brake applications.

3. Cool Down: Drive at 60 mph
(100km/h) for approximately 10 miles
(15km) without using the brakes.

4. Medium Brake Application: Apply
the brakes 25 times from 60 mph
(100km/h) to 30 mph (50km/h) while
decelerating at 0.4 g. Drive for at least

0.6 miles (1km) between applications.
