Default 0-60mph under 3.4sec

On a auto c6 with 480rwhp , What would be the max 0-60mph you can get with sticky tires ??? would like to est numbers from other members and best tire for traction off the line. I see the GTR & porsche in the 2.9ea to 60 but without AWD dont think the vette can beat it??

The video below is 2.59 seconds 0-60. I drive my car to work every day, it gets 21+ mpg on average from each tank and have taken it up to 185 mph in a timed mile event.

The Vette is a very versatile machine.

I shift in .175 of a second to .225. Autos are are usually a little slower.

But a stall speed converter makes up for it.

Here is my friend with similar mods and a 3600 stall A6. We run neck and neck.

Max? You could probably draw it out for hours if you had the time and the right road.

Are you asking about drag radials when referring to "sticky tires"? The GTR and Porsche 0-60 times you mentioned are on street tires.
