It took me getting a supercharger, drag radials, and an excellent launch to get into the 3 second range on my M7 Stingray. Best I ever achieved stock was 4.4, most were 4.6-4.8 on the street.

My Z is "supposed" to run a 2.95 on a good day, but the best I've ever managed, on a good road with drag radials, is 3.2. Some wheelspin is pretty much unavoidable. I don't know what the Stingrays are advertised as running, but I wouldn't be too worried. Sounds like that's about right for a Stringray on the street.

You aren't doing anything wrong----You have to realize that 0-60 posted factory times are all made on a sticky drag track and are not real world- Your times are right in line---
Using the launch - control system will produce your times most every pass- to be very consistent----To get a lower 0-60 time you must turn off the traction control--However to get a fast 0-60 time takes many practice runs to hit it just right-----Not to much spinning and not to much bogging at the start----and every track or road condition will be different--
You can't judge your car's launch based on several different track conditions----Just be consistent and do the same thing every pass and you will win races--after all at this level it is bracket racing and 0-60 times are meaningless consistency wins races---

1. Agree with the comments that it will be very difficult to match the published times which are normally run at temperatures conducive to good performance, & may be times that are corrected based on ambient temperatures. In addition, they are normally run on high traction surfaces, & many runs to achieve optimum acceleration.
2. 2016 Z51 with A8 - Only recorded numbers twice on semi-deserted road - 4.7 seconds & 4.4 seconds.

Cold January day in Pennsylvania car is 100% stock a8 2017 GS. Using factory launch control for the first time ever. PTM set to "wet" as you can see the roads were a bit damp in some spots.

I was able to get 3.8 0 to 60 multiple times on stock tires with my 2015 C7 A8 Base when it was all stock. Temps need to be atleast 60 degrees for the tires to hook. I was able to do this on an asphalt road with no launch control in Sport and Track mode.

The best 0-60 I can get with my stock C7 Stingray with stock tires is 4.8, but this at elevations of 5500 to 6500 feet in Colorado. I think if I were at sea level, my 0-60 time would be much better.

here in vegas the elevation is around 2000, hard to go better then 4.5/4.4 .
