I hope it's legit!

That looks like 0-60 in just a tick over 3 seconds. Would not surprise me with all of that torque!!

This car can't get here fast enough.

I agree, easily!

Those shifts are lightening fast.

Looks like:

0-60 3.1 seconds
0-100 7.1 seconds
0-150 17.2 seconds

AWESOME numbers

Finally, we have some real data. I am sure other mags will be testing soon as well.

The earlier GM video release "track tested" shows a 220 MPH speedometer in the 2015 Z06 while that appears to be the regular C7 speedometer in your video at the first of this thread. Perhaps a different "test" mule, I don't know.

In any case thanks for posting the video. It is interesting.

Take a look at 08 and 16 seconds in this one.

That 3.1 0-60 launch seemed to be a simple mash the gas and go. It doesn't appear to use an preloading with the brake. That's amazing!!!

I see what you are referring to NSC5. Not sure of the answer though, those shifts are awfully fast to be a stingray I would think but I am no expert. If I remember correctly, GM was still playing with the interior as of a couple months ago.

I agree about the shifts and I hope the video is legit.

Hope the downshifts are equally as quick and crisp. Then if the heat is managed that is a home run for the A-8.

I dunno..... Although it is closer to a 3.3 0-60 (realistic) since the timer in the video only goes to .29 before it flips to another second.

I got it paused a few times between 3:23-and 3:27 before the MPH shifts from 59 to 64. Did anyone lock the video in with 60 mph?

Something for all the Stingray owners to think about as they try to convince themselves that they only need 460 HP. Course a quick trip to one of our forum tuners with their C7, could send them home with a nice supercharged package that would put them in the new Z06 territory. The shifts may not be quite as fast as what might have been the A8 in that video, but an A6 will be close.
