2015 8sp auto Stingray numbers 0-60 in 3.7 and 11.9 in 1/4
http://media.chevrolet.com/media/us/...automatic.html
The all-new, paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission makes the 2015 Corvette Stingray faster and more fuel efficient, with 0-60 acceleration of only 3.7 seconds and an EPA-estimated 29 mpg on the highway.
“The Corvette Stingray is a great example of how we are leveraging engineering and technology to improve both efficiency and performance,” said Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing & Supply Chain. “No other car can match 460 horsepower, 0-60 mph in better than 3.7 seconds, and 29 mpg on the highway.”
The Stingray’s 0-60 performance is 0.1-second quicker than the previous six-speed automatic, contributing to a quicker quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.9 seconds – a 0.1-second improvement over the six-speed auto.
Its 29-mpg highway rating represents a 3.5-percent increase over the six-speed. New eight-speed models are EPA-rated at 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg combined.

it's about friggen time some numbers were released.
but sounds like the published 1/4 mile time was guessed at???
(they simply removed the 0.1 quicker 0-60... from the previous 1/4 stat)?
one tenth is 100ms. how much time does that extra shift or two - in the quarter mile - comsume?

Think about that for a minute. Even if someone starting a new post, was to look for a duplicate post first (which I did).. it would not have shown at that time.

Do you guys look to see what time threads are started? Both posts were started at almost the exact same time.

I do believe the A8's will turn even better.
