0-60 Times Stock Automatic Trans (non Z51)
Hi,
I have not seen the best 0-60 times for C7 bone Stock (non Z51) with Auto Trans?
Chevy says the Manual can produce 3.8 sec 0-60.
Can anybody share...I see top end for stock is 190 MPH.
thanks

Don’t know about 0-60 but Snorman on this forum has run an 11.49 sec quarter mile.
I haven’t see a single road test of a 7-speed going into the 11s, mostly low 12s. First A6 road test I read had a 11.79 sec quarter. Don

Granted, I haven't seen a base car (non-Z51) but my bet is the time is very, very similar.

Sorry... didn't read the specifics of what you were asking closely enough. There have been results from autos but I haven't seen a non-Z51. Snorman's car is a Z51 auto and, if I remember correctly, did 3.6. You can probably find his results if you search his thread.

Read Vetteweb's latest article.... non-Z51 automatic C7 dipping into the 11's... consistently.
More here: http://www.vetteweb.com/features/140...y_the_numbers/
"Happily the Stingray would require no such extensions. In fact our best pass of 11.736 seconds at 118.76 took place near the start of the session, and the car displayed precisely zero inclination to slow down as the morning wore on.
“Very consistent,” noted this author’s logbook entry. “The best 60-foot times were achieved by simply leaving the car in Drive and stomping the throttle. Shifting manually with the paddles added a tenth or two to the e.t.’s.”
The car was so consistent, in fact, that we spent the latter half of the morning devising novel ways to try to squeeze a few extra hundredths out of it. But whether it ran hot or cool, with or without the plastic engine covers, and regardless of driver, our Stingray stuck resolutely in the 11.7- to 11.8-second range at 117-118 mph. Bracket racers, your Corvette has arrived."

Auto trans outguns Manual in 1/4 mile?
2014 C7 Manual- 12.2 at 117.3 mph in the quarter. That pretty evenly splits the difference between the C6 Grand Sport and 427 C6 models (12.5 at 115.0 and 11.9 at 121.5). (Figures From MT article)

Scraping the splitter.
But in a Z51 (A6), not a base car. IMO a base car should be as quick or quicker.

The below is from Article C7_ Stingray shared in this thread: Stock C7 Automatic:
Chevy rates the Auto trans at 455 HP, is my understanding, so at the below results the car is nearly 30HP better than Chevy "advertises"?
This always confuses me, why would Chevy not want to boast this new C7 Automatic delivers 470 or 475 HP (why underrate the HP)?
Do they select 455 HP, so almost every automatic will no doubt produce that amount, at a minimum?
thanks!
Following its disjointed performance at PBIR, we were hopeful that the Stingray would achieve a measure of redemption on the chassis dyno, where its lack of race-spec suspension, brake, and cooling hardware would be less of an impediment. And indeed, the car recorded 410.88 hp and 419.71 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels on its first pull, accompanied by a horripilation-inducing war whoop from the NPP exhaust. Follow-up runs netted virtually identical figures, another testament to the consistent nature of the Stingray’s powertrain performance.
How does that compare with the factory ratings? Applying a conservative 15 percent correction factor yields “at the crank” numbers of 483 and 494 respectively, once again demonstrating that GM isn’t afraid to underrate the output of its flagship performer.
