This is so impressive, I love it! I would love to see some passes at Atco with your car with Long tubes, high flow cats, intake and tune.

The car was stock aside from the driver mod judging from those launch times. Can't wait to see what the high performance model does.

There were no tricks, or special procedures or prep or anything for any of these passes. The car wasn't sitting in the pits with a fan blowing on it and it had plenty of fuel in the tank.

Left at idle....stock tire pressure...no tricks.......gotta love it

Great runs . So now we all know that the C7 is a sub 12 second car right out of the box.

Love the videos, it will difficult for all those non believers to negate 11.6 runs. Just imagine what a LT1 A6 NPP Z51 C7 will run

With a set of drag radials, headers, tune and some weight reduction a bolt on C7 could be docking on the door of a ten second run.

Great job, Snorman! Finally got a driver behind one of these in decent DA. Makes me wonder what kind of mph a manual car will hit when power-shifted. I'll find out as soon as I get my car.

Outstanding job!

I wouldn't go that far. You'll always have more power to the ground with a DCT trans, not to mention more control.

Which brings this question to mind. What, if any, mods can be made to a stock engine/transmission car and still run showroom stock NHRA?

As usual, Someone is always trying to **** on your fire.
Even if your SLOWEST time was slower than the FASTEST LS3 time why would it matter?

You said every pass was faster...yet it wasn't. You even ran 11.8..which is great. Better then anyone else yet. But at ATCO so not surprising it ran great. Go do it at a track that don't always run .2-3 faster then any other track in the country besides Cecil.

and honestly who didn't expect the c7 to be faster? More power stock and bunch nannies. Its like saying hey my c5 is supposed be as fast as a c6 stock for stock.
