Default 2.98 seconds

Ran my PDR at the track last week.
I then downloaded all the runs into Cosworth. Under performance data it said my best 0-60 time was 2.98 seconds for my Z51 vert with A8.

Is that possible?

Possible? Yes
Likely? No
I am not familiar with the accuracy of the PDR so perhaps it did happen. HMMM?

No. I really doubt it.

Car and Driver says:

"Chevrolet claims the Z06 sprinted through the benchmark 0-to-60-mph measure in just 2.95 seconds "

So if its saying your Z51 is as quick as a Z06...its most likely in error.

Probably has a K&N filter.

If that's the case, I'm surprised it didn't post a 2.5 second 0-60....

Maybe there was some sort of mechanical accident at the plant and you got one with all wheel drive.

If you still have the PDR video, would be cool to post it and see what you see.

The time was not on the PDR, but showed up on the Cosworth performance data screen.

Must be, it's the only explanation.

2.98? Well, not saying it is entirely impossible, but it is highly unlikely and most probably due to some error.

That sure seems like Z06 data to me. Stock Z51 should be around a second slower.

Of course it's possible....if you really hooked up just right, yes. But, it doesn't mean you're as quick as a Z because one would blow by you like a cannon shot!
