I think they're just mad in stock form, their C6 or C7 NEVER could pull off a 3 second or faster 0-60. They have to put slicks or DR's, with the right amount of gas in the tank, the perfect tire temp, perfect ambient temp, can't run the car long otherwise it'll heatsoak at the line and a prayer to god to even let them run a 3 second flat 0-60.
The ME + DCT is just better.

And just mad at how far the corvette has come in base form.
Those 0-60 times really are upsetting a lot of members lol.
Didn't know a 2.8 or 2.7 will make people mad, i thought they'd be happy about such an impressive time.

Motor Trend along with C&D both recorded the identical 2.8 seconds 0-60 MPH. GM reports 2.9 seconds. Pretty sure these guys are using something more accurate than a box you can get on Amazon for 150 bucks.
It is absolutely amazing how these numbers have the hater's nuts twisted and their heads exploding.

This guy seems to think the Dragy is pretty accurate in a straight line.

Nevertheless, it's faster than 3 seconds, which is supercar numbers. And faster than a C7Z in that metric. And will beat a C7Z to 112mph before the extra 150hp has the advantage and finally passes the C8, if the race is still even going. Because no one races to top speed.

A C8 will do just fine up to 130. Since it can do 11.1 @ 122. That's pretty quick. Of course it'll be a TINY downgrade in speed to my C7Z if i decide on getting the base before the C8Z. But at least what i lose slightly in higher speed i make up for it in out digging almost every car that comes my way. Full confidence in dropping your right foot to the floor and let the awesome DCT change those gears.
No more having to use 3rd and 4th gear only to have fun because 1st and 2nd will just make you fishtail.

Yes they have and PDR always showed faster than what it was and confirmed roll out was used. Same with motor trend results they used roll out also.
Picked the right car for that then.

About as much seat time as you. According to you the dragy vids are fake, but the other vids are true.
Speaking of the C6 academy did you finally figure out if your C6 was red or orange? Or still working that one out robg62?

Oh, OK, so Motor Trend, Car & Driver, along with GM are all liars? You should have an answer as you seem to have this all etched in granite. Amazing how your hate for this car prevents you from running out of negative energy, get a life troll.
