What's faster from a roll we no it's faster from 0 to 60 but from a. 30roll to 150 and using no lift shift what's the outcome

Higgs Boson

M7 is faster from anything but a dead hook launch. A8 can get out of the hole faster but that's it. of course, if you are a terrible shifter/bad driver, then anything can happen.

Long as its faster from a roll at high speed that's all I need to know lol

MikeLsx

exactly.

although I am sure its easier to drive a auto around a track with both hands on the wheel.

The A8 has a 10.99 overall 1st ratio. Allowing a faster 60ft from the A8. The lower gear allows more traction and a faster start than the 7.83 overall first gear of the M7. So in the 1/4 mile the M7 has a handicap to overcome.
The 1/4 mile is highly dependent on your 60ft time.
A8 wins the standing start 1/4 mile. But when you put the cars side by side in a rolling start. The A8 loses the low first advantage.
The M7 then has the closer ratio's and less drive loss (ie. more power to the ground. The M7 should win the rolling race from 40-50 mph contests provided a good driver is behind the wheel.

Putting that aside the M7 esp teamed with a MGW is a great driving experience.

Roll racing is lame

Always thought the MGW swap would be a minimal upgrade. After install Holy crap what a difference. This should have come stock from GM

Does it allow quicker shifts

C6Z driver not very good. go look at the C7 40-100 thread. The autos are way behind.

The A8 has a quicker 0-60 time and wins the 1/4 mile drag race compared to the manual trans---
As far as drivetrain loss vs the A8 and the manual trans---They are now Equal---No advantage in drivetrain los as before from a manual trans---
I think you have to be an extremely experienced driver of a manual trans even to win in a rolling start race-----This makes a lot of manual trans drivers pissed as now an in experienced driver with an auto trans can let the computer drive the car and be quick and the manual trans driver has to shift "perfectly" in order just to be equal !!!
Quickest STOCK Corvette ever is now the 2015 Z06 A8 automatic at 2.9

A8 is slightly faster in a roll race and has i big advantage from a stop.
0-60 M7 3.9 seconds
0-60 A8 3.7 seconds
All you have to do is check out the fast list. All of the cars in the top 10 are autos.

Who will win the race from 40 to 150/160mph

HC-C7

Roll racing is for the people who get their doors blown off at the line .

Seannyc

If the other car is faster from a roll then eventually the car that is losein from a hole will catch up

The M7 guy will have to be a heck of a driver to keep up with the A8 (and hope that the nannies don't interfere with the power delivery)

tail_lights

If it takes a good driver to beat an auto C7 in a C6Z, it's gonna take a great driver to keep up in the M7.

Link to that thread? I looked but couldn't find it.

All these races from 40 to 100 --30 to 150--- 40-150 are simply sour grapes by a manual trans owner to try and find some extremely odd way for a manual trans now to beat an A8-----Truth is when most guys race it's rarely even a 1/4 mile and then if they do go a 1/4 mile an A8 Z06 still wins-----Who races to 150 MPH ?? no one unless they are at a closed airport---------Technology has changed either accept it or fall behind--
