Default Consistent performance factor!

Hi guys

how many of you has a C7 Z06 and ran 2.95 to 60 mph? I doubt if this official number is achievable in regular street surfaces
I tried yesterday maybe more than 30 times in a friend’ Z06, and at the end our best was 3.4 sec and that happened once but numbers are always ranging b/w 3.5 and 4.4
In the same time, another friend with his new 992 carrera 2s just delivered, he ran 3.3-3.4 consistently all the night

I know the rear engines with low torque play a significant role here but my question is how the things will go with the new stingray? I still think the high torque in lower RPM is the issue even with the eLSD and mid-engine layout!
