Default Z06 development video

Found this surfing other forums. Haven't seen it here, unless I missed it?
http://www.stingrayforums.com/forum/...ent-video.html

Last few seconds shows a standing start run with the tires chirping into 3rd in about/under(?) 4 seconds (didn't put a stop watch on it).

To save trouble, here's an earlier post:

Assuming a 2.73 rear end like the Auto Z51, top speed in each gear is:

Gear Ratio MPH
1.... 4.56... 39.88
2.... 2.97... 61.23
3.... 2.08... 87.43
4.... 1.69... 107.61
5.... 1.27... 143.20
6.... 1.00... 181.86
7.... 0.85... 213.96
8.... 0.65... 279.79

watched it several times, seems electronic is in full force 1st gear, second gear and third gear but into 4th it chirps tires
and i tried to time her, by the time tire chirps is aprox 6 sec
ie 0-87 mph in 6 seconds ?

but i didn't like the way converter was slipping on gear shift, i hope there is no slush converter involved after initial take off... LOCK up Converter
