Did anyone ever hear the answer to this one? Magazine tests aside, the Corvette website used to market the A8 as 0-60 in 3.7 and the M7 as 3.8. Is this an official time change from Chevy?

Not me, I've never gotten lower than 4.7.
But
It is summer in Texas so its 100 degrees right now.
I am not getting the best launch because the tires start to slip and the engine is cutting power to stop the slip.
I am going to work on properly launching the car because I feel most of my time is getting wasted by TC when my tires begin to slip.
Hoping to come back this weekend and report something around 4.0.

TC kept kicking in.
What's the best way to get the times quoted by Chevy?
Does it make sense to try it with the TC turned off?

I wouldn't go according to GMs numbers. Find a real world test done by one of the major magazines they will be more real world and truthful.

Not looking for real world numbers, but rather trying to find out if GM has pulled their marketed numbers for some reason. More of a marketing question than anything.

In an earlier post there was a ? on A6 Non Z51. Chevy "claim" on A6 non-Z51 was 4.0. Same as claim on A8 Non Z51.
