the oil usage thing was in less than 20 percent of the 'o1's so it is unlikely you get one. most were fixed too, plus it doesn't hurt performance any. just have to add a quart now and then. unless if you don't get close to redline a lot..then they don't burn anymore than any other z06
i drove a '01 Z06 with expensive custom exhaust and intake and performance tune and it was fricken fast! tad more than my stock 02 z06
miles were 50k+ otherwise i would have bought it. try to get one from the original owner, makes huge difference

From the Service Manual ..... page 6-1034 (PCM Description)
subsection: Torque Management
"The PCM monitors the torque converter status, the transmission gear ratio, and the extended brake switch input in order to determine if torque reduction is required."
Hmmmm ... let's see ... on a car with a manual tranny there is NO torque converter, and the PCM has NO idea what gear is selected in the gearbox. Kinda hard to do torque management when you're missing two critical inputs to the algorithm.
QUOTE:
Further on the manual lists examples of times where TM would be experienced ... here are two that clearly indicate it applies to automatics ...
* During transmission upshifts and downshifts
* When the driver is performing harsh or abusive manuevers, such as shifting into gear at high throttle angles or shifting the transmission from Reverse to Drive to create a rocking motion
None of the examples are for a manual gearbox since, taking the above, the PCM has no idea when you're up or down shifting, and I have yet to find a DRIVE position on my shift **** ....
