Default 0 - 60 times ???

According to Road & Track, the 0-60 time for a Z51 Coup is 4.5 seconds (no mention of tranny type).

Dooes anyone have any times for 0 - 60 for stock Z51 MN6 and A6? How about times for slightly moded cars (e.g. Headers and exhaust)?
If possible please include track and weather conditions.

Thanks.

Problem is, do tracks record 0-60 times? As far as I know, there aren't 0-60 tracks. Check out the 1/4 mile times in the tech section for times. Thats what people race, the 1/4 mile or often the 1/8 mile. Some folks might have a g-tech to record their 0-60 though.

That was the time they got that day, that car...only good for DIRECT comparisons with other cars tested the same day and time and driver.......Road and Track and others often used an old airstrip in So Cal (not sure where they ran the numbers your quoting)...the So Cal spot has a bad reputation for a worn road surface and 'dusty' conditions at times (aka traction limited thus 0-60 and 1`/4 miles time are always off--they often also use in-car instruments such as Gtech pro or whatever AND they make 'corrections' to their times/speed to reportedly correct for altitude etc...again ok for 1 to 1 THAT DAY comparisons but off as far was what the car can really do under 'ideal' conditions.....

Magazine 'test' times are just as good as your best buddies dyno sheet---3 different cars, 3 different mags (or dynos) and you get 3 different results.......

Exactly. I've seen 0-60 times as low as 4.1 and as high as 5.3 (auto) for the C6.
