AT 0-60 info.
Just curious if anyone had the specs or details on the 0-60 times on a stock automatic 95 vette and 0-60 times on a stock 6spd 95 vette. basically i want to know how much faster is a 6spd then a automatic of the same year. Thanks!

In most Corvette books I have ready, the difference between auto and manual was only 1/10-3/10ths of a second. Unless you are a pro driver, the auto should be significantly faster than the manual.

Thats what I wanted to hear thanks guys 
the reason i was asking is that a freind of mine has a stock 92 6spd and he swears up and down its faster then my stock 95 automatic.... and as far as i know from different websites a 92 6spd hit 0-60 around 5.7 secs and a 95 6spd tested around 5.2 ......do you think that my 95 automatic should be able to beat his 92 6spd? (note: not on a track or anything just red light to red light kinda thing)

So being a convertible makes it slower by at least .6 seconds 0-60 then a coupe of the same year? and his 92 will win even though the 95 6spd coupe does 0-60 5.2 and the 92 shows at 5.7 secs?

Well i would think that gm would continually improve the performance of a car even if its the same gen from year to year whether it be from trimming weight or other variables and improvements. so since there is 3 years in between the cars i would have thought that a 95 automatic convertible would still be as fast if not aster then a 92 6spd coupe???

lol then why did you post this reply a little bit up? Im getting mixed signals.... Im not dense and i know youve said it 3 times but i would figure they would make SOME changes to improve the performace of the car over a 3 year period whether it be triming weight or other things that dont necessarily have to do with the engine. I assume your thinking that the convertible is heavier then a coupe which is true but ive also read that the 92 coupe is heavier then a 95 coupe. I really dont care either way because his car is nice but mine is nicer with half the miles

I will tell you right now since I own both a LT1 6 speed and a LT1 automatic, in stock form they both accelerate about the same off the line. The six speed will pull away after the 330' mark, but at the 60' they are identical.
This is with 3.45 gears in the six speed and 2.59 in the automatic.
This is fact, I have the timeslips to prove it. My automatic does 1.95 at the 60' mark and the six speed did it in 1.93.
Now with the 3.45 gears I have in the automatic car, I can turn a 1.67 60' which going by the auto math calculators equals about 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. I'm doing 48 mph at the 60' mark.

I just bought the car a couple of weeks ago and havent even put 50 miles on it.....so i really dont know everything about it so where do i look to see what gear it has? Did another gear came in the car as an option in 95?

My 3.45 provided the best SOTP increase of all the mods that I have done so far. But I would never have guessed that it cut more than 2 tenths off of the 60'. Wow Mojo your car scoots.

The first set are of the automatic with the 3.45 gears and a 2800 stall torque converter.
The second set are of the six speed car completely stock.
None of the videos represent the best I've done in these cars, but aren't bad runs considering.
