2017: Class-action lawsuits were filed against General Motors for allegedly falsely advertising that its Corvette Z06 is built for race track driving when, according to plaintiffs, the car cannot withstand the demands of race track driving due to its ineffective cooling system, which causes the car to overheat and go into “Limp Mode” at drastically reduced speed and power.
