my .02

I really think these new auto's with very low first gears just drag race well. the torque rating of this motor is better and you seeing that in the lower ET's.

I knew this car would be quicker as seen as I saw the torque figures. To any person who is suprised by this should read up on torque and horsepower.

anyone trying to minimize that a base corvette running this time is not impressive needs to drink a glass of STFU IMO.

the C6 was a 12 second car that some people put in the 11's with great driving and or conditions. the C7 is looking to be more of an 11 second car that people will put in the 12's with poor driving and or poor conditions.

I personaly like the car alot. if I did not have young daugters I would be flipping my Zl1 for one.

But as said good job. Least you got it to perform what it should be capable of.
Interesting. The quickest stock A4 LS1 Fbody and A4 LS1 GTO were both run at Rockingham Drawgway in NC. The GTO actually ran a tad quicker at Rockingham than it did at Atco. I would know this because I ran both cars and the GTO was ran on both tracks. Neither car had traction issues and both were autos so it was all about 'the magical air.' so uh, no not every LSX/LTX record is set at Atco/MIR.

Without looking at dyno graphs it appears the C7 has a harder push from the 1/8th to the 1/4. Look at the MPH increase (in terms of percentage.)
