[QUOTE=Adams' Apple]...Christian, does your engine have the heat shield around the starter solenoid? If not, i would suggest getting one...[/QUOTE]
 
I agree.  The problem is called heat soak.  Corvette Central has the stock shield.  http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~partsort
I'm sure other Corvette aftermarket providers will also stock it.

I've had this problem all my life. Everybody is right on the money about the solenoid. A heat shield will work or like back in the day everybody would swap out the stock solenoid and put a ford one mounted somewhere on the inside fenderwell. Way far away from the heat.
