ran it through an estimator online. 11.80 @ 120 mph was the answer with a 1.8 60'. Assumptions were 3,600 lbs and 495 bhp. Given heavy aero emphasis, might be a little faster at the line. Also will be dependent on gearing (although DCT should help).

A Tesla model 3 with 3.2 sec 0-60 can do 11.78 1/4 mile. Now that C8 0-60 is sub 3 sec, there is no reason it will lose to the single gear electric car in longer run. I will say 11.7 at most.
Ferrari 458 runs a consistent mid 11 and hero runs are 11.2-11.3. However it has 70ish more hp too. 991.2 GT3 runs 11.2-11.3 with 500hp but is a couple hundred pounds light it also isn't geared for better fuel economy like vettes usually are. Can probably expect anywhere from mid to high 11s though.

C7 hero runs are 11.3/11.4.. Id say this one has a lot more in it than that.

Pretty close . 12 seconds probably at 118. This is the flip side of a 0-60 in 2.8. Shorter gearing and some extra traction is how the C8 got 2.8. but the 1/4 mile and the difference from 60- 1/4 mile is where the C8 comes back down to earth.

You have a couple people who may have done it and you're relying on people being honest about what they are reporting. Drag racing doesn't exactly have the reputation of having the most honest of people. The fact is most C7 consistently run right around 12 flat. Go to any test and tune and you will see them all night long running in the 12s.

Ive seen Hellcats run 14s but thats not the point is it now? Just because you cant or haven't done it it doesnt mean others are cheating. Two C7s literally and utterly destroyed an LS3 C6 in the next lane. But I guess they both hid mods right? Lmao!

That is about a dumb as comment as they come and makes no sense. If you want to believe it will run low 11s have it but it's obvious you don't know what it takes to get times like then either. And where does me running a run come from? I've actually ran in the 11s with my C7 and my Huracan consistently runs in the 10s so what's you point? I don't go around saying my C7 is an 11 second car when it's only done it one time out of dozens. Go ahead and believe what you want I don't care.

That seems about right. Which puts it on par with the C7 Z51 auto. Lighter car, smaller tires.

Yep you're right. On a cool night when my '15 C7 Z51 A8 was stock i ran a best of 11.8 at 117 even with my heavy 250+lb added to it. Also Carolina Dragway where i ran this at is not even a sea level track. Probably would've ran even better down in Florida. Also ran a 11.9 and 12.1 that night. I would expect the C8 with DCT, more hp, and better traction to do mid to low 11's at 120+

I'm gonna say it average high 11's with your couple god passes at low 11's for a few people (expert) drivers...of course, the low numbers will then become averages spoken at cars and coffee and on this forum....just because a few people can reach 100% doesn't make it average...remember class, there's a bell curve in there too
