It's still cool/cold there, right? I'm curious to see if you have issues when it gets warm out.

The tracks here in SoCal, the new Z06s seem to get maybe 3-5 laps from a good driver before they're pitting to cool off.

I haven't got the videos uploaded, but after driving the car hard for 30 minutes I managed to overheat it. I gave it five minutes to cool down and it was good for another 15 or so laps - it didn't overheat for the rest of the day. Ambient temp was about 20 degrees out which isn't as high as California though.

Having done the research before buying the car I knew about the potential already and also know that the fix is way simpler than you'd think - pretty much, the car has a V6 Camaro radiator in it for some drat reason and you can replace that with a big-rear end three row DeWitts block to remove the problem entirely.

Really, the overheating thing is way overblown in an odd way - you don't hear the same complaints about say, the Cayman and GTR's auto transmission overheating issues, yet those are just as big of an issue. I think that due to the Corvette's dad-car / easy hateable status it's something that people obsess over - kind of like the mustang crashes deal.

Oh, it's not hating for me. I just live in an area with a lot of them, and they're pretty common to see out there so I've seen it happen a lot.

It's also a bigger deal cause the Z06 was a great track car that they added a huge issue to in the search for more power.
