No worries dude I was curious where you got your 0-60 calculation from, because based on the mile markers he's flying. we can't really tell fully because it cuts out before he hits the 1/4 mile marker but based on 6.5-7s 1/8th mile times that should be less than 11s in the 1/4 mile! For reference, a ZR1 that did a 10.1 1/4 mile pass did the 1/8th in 6.53s
I agree. Based on the last run which cuts just shy of the 1/4 mile marker, I would put it at about the same as your est of 10.0 +- - 10.2 10.5 ? ?
Of course not super accurate due to exact position... but not s l o w... ; )

No, these are not full throttle launches. These are relatively slow, mild launches. Launching hard and running up thru the tach aggressively does not result in 3 shifts before 60 mph, all three of which executed in the lower half of the rpm range.
I get 10.2 sec. to the cut just before the 1/4 mile marker. Another car length to 1/4? 10.5 sec ??
Anyone know a way to calculate a 0-60mph based on these vids?
If we assume most performance cars have an acceleration curve that spikes early and then gradually decays, we could guesstimate by looking at the VBOX graph of another car that did the quarter mile in about the same time.
Here is a car that did a 10.87 @ 125.26 mph. His time to 60 mph was 2.7 sec.
The cad drawings show a ZF auto/dct. Not a tremec.
All the stuff I read said Tremec including R&T today (21 June 2018)
A Corvette without a manual? It seems like an impossibility, but that's what our colleagues at Car and Driver believe. Instead, the mid-engine Corvette will use a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox sourced from Tremec. Of its seven speeds, the top three are overdrives, and Tremec says it can handle 9000 rpm input speed and 664 lb-ft of torque.
Yes cool to see, but I would hit more revs than that merging onto the superspeedway in the C7. Hey, its my chance for fun for the day on a drive to work
Maybe wrong place to ask, but how does an ME stay cool with all the camouflage on the back? Air gets in the sides and front (?), but where does it exit?

I believe ZERV and SSM6Sedan(guy who said how many transmissions they ordered) also said that it was a TREMEC. ZERV even included this:
When you search “M1L Gamma Readiness Escalation”, a GM document about global supplier quality and the PPAP (Production Parts Approval Process) show up. http://www.iatfglobaloversight.org/w...6Oct2016-1.pdf
However, the transmission in the CADs look just like ZF’s PDK transmission. The transmission mounts are exactly the same.
I say it’s a TREMEC DCT, mostly because nobody with inside info has said anything about a ZF transmission.
