The C7 posted fantastic numbers with the manual. No doubt they would be significantly better with great automatic. The Vette is still being robbed of a lot of performance, and I don't mean that in a bad way. It's actually quite impressive to post those numbers with a manual.
When you have vehicles like the 458 and McLaren posting 3 seconds flat to 60 and 10.9 - 11 1/4s all day versus the ZR1's 3.4 and 11.2 - 11.4 consistently, there's a clear loss with the manual. We know the ZR1 can run sub 11, but it's rare and only by the best. Anyone can run 10.9 in the McLaren. The ZR1 has some traction issues but all of these cars are RWD and the traction issue would be mitigated with programming through an auto.
Please don't get me wrong...I'm not trying fire anyone up over the everlasting manual vs automatic debate. I'm really trying to point out how amazing the Vette is without a world class automatic yet. The manual is impressive. Now GM needs to offer an impressive auto as well.

I knew this car was going to be a beast!!
Cant believe people doubted it. Like I've been saying from the start.. C7 will deliver C6Z06-like performance (12 sec 1/4, 1.03G skidpad, 3.8-60 and VIR in 2.51.7)
I never expected the C7 to outperform the C6Z. But it definitely makes it a drivers race between the two vehicles.

The McLaren and 458 are about 42/58 which I'm sure is better for launching, but there's no reason why a car with as much power as the ZR1 shouldn't be able to consistently run 10s with an auto, even if it isn't a DCT.

Unclear writing!
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an available performance package has been rated as the best performing standard Corvette to date.
Base model with performance exhaust!
The 2014 Vette with the performance-exhaust system can make the 0-60 sprint in 3.8 seconds. Braking from 60-0 mph takes just 107 feet, and the Stingray can sustain 1.03g in cornering.
The Corvette equipped with the performance package is priced at $56,590. The Stingray goes on sale this September with a base $51,995 price (including destination charges).
Included!
The $2,800 optional Z51 performance package adds an electronic limited-slip differential; dry-sump oiling system; integral brake, differential and transmission cooling; and aero package.
Extra!
Magnetic Ride Control with Performance Traction Management is a $1,795 option.
This is with everything!
A Corvette with the performance and magnetic ride-control package lapped the 4.2-mile Virginia International Raceway Grand Concourse in 2 minutes, 51.78 seconds. To achieve those figures, the Stingray was stripped to include just a racing seat and harness, and fire extinguisher system.
56590 is everything, but, it was 73k before?

That's not a C7. Those are C6's. Point being that for whatever time GM reports for Corvettes, they are probably all in similar states (seat, harness, fire suppression, data logging, etc).
Actually, you are violating the forum policies:

Please remain civil as you post your varied opinions about the C7 and its relative merits to the C6 and other generations and other cars."

Your response to me was rude, hostile, negative, a blatant (not subtle) dig, and a personal attack. You were the one who veered off the topics* in this thread and made rude and inappropriate comments.
*The topic of Porsche was included in the original post. I brought this to your attention here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1584206319-post169.html
Just because I'm responding and quoting your post to Notch doesn't make me Notch. Multiple people quote and respond to my comments directed at others. This is not a novel concept.
You're right, I haven't.
Nah, I don't think I'm going to do that because a.) I have done nothing to violate the forum policies, and b.) most people here already know your agenda.
I know you're probably still upset that yesterday I asked you not to not sh*t in yet another thread that had absolutely nothing to do with Porsches, but you'll just have to get over that.
I think people would be best served by simply not taking your lightly worded baits, which are there to simply set up your chance to log back in as Guibo and type a 1/2 page post filled with cut and paste info and links.

Enough....
now unless Guibo and Notch can be in two places on the planet at the same time I can find no evidence they are the same person...so unless you can PM me absolute PROOF that they are one and the same....drop it.
