Default C7 Acceleration Values

Here is some trivia information about C7 acceleration.

This data comes from the racing logs of a stock 2015 Z51 and a stock 2015 Z06 in several open road racing events with very experienced drivers. The calculations are for pedal to the floor acceleration shortly after coming out of a turn and heading into a long straight away.

For an acceleration from about 60 mph to 88 mph

Z51 6.77 MPH/sec

Z06 7.23 MPH/sec

For an acceleration from 118 mph to 160 mph

Z51 1.94 MPH/sec

Z06 2.08 MPH/sec

For both the slow exit turn and the fast exit turn the Z06 acceleration was 6.8 % more than the Z51.

You read it wrong... the Z06 was faster by about 6.8%. More mph per second!

I'd love to see all models of bone stock, validated by drag strip receipts C7 0 - 60 mph, and, 1/4 mile times. Both AT AND M7.
