Unbelievable C8 info, rushed pictures of a page in a booklet from a detroit GM engineer I spoke to at Corvettes at Carlisle, sorry for the the quality, I was very rushed and couldnt even touch the booklet.

Thats pretty awesome

I am going to be really interested to see some lap times. The new c8 is quicker than the ZL1-1LE in the 1/4mile by 0.1sec but a slower trap by 6mph, with the c8 having 155HP LESS

0-60 ZL1-1LE is 3.5, C8 is 3 and Z51 is 2.9 (rounding again?)

Lat g's are extremely close 1.02 to1, could be a rounding thing

60-0 braking was close ZL1-1LE at 107 and the C8 at 108.4 with much smaller brakes.

getting more and more excited with the car as information is revealed.

I have never put any real concern or thought on trap mph because et wins, not trap.

holy large wheel offfset, wow

at least that will help with the aftermarket guys getting proper wheels out

TLSTWIN

ya, its the 0.5 -0.6 quicker launch

Is 11.3 Base or Z51? From chart did not seem to identify? How does that time compare to Ford GT or some Porsche and McLaren Times?

thanks

lostsoul

omg.. if there is only a .1 sec difference in 0-60 and 1/4 time is the same.....

Z51 option is sooooo f@cking gone with its non- performance exhaust. Then its back to just save the money or kick it all into the 2lt .... damn it.. damn it...

BLKTA

Wow. Great performance for the base model with a n/a motor.

torquenstein

great info.. thanks for posting!


notice convertible weight listed...

solotronics

absolutely killer for a base model Corvette! the Z models are going to be world beating, great job GM!

Iker

Again as usual in term of acceleration, the car will only do great in 0-60! after that things will get worse and maybe you will be walked by 350 hp cars! really stupid gear ratios DISAPPOINTED

EasyLivin

I would assume the base car numbers are with the standard exhaust ?

CaryBob

The C7 Stingray braked 60-0 in 90 feet. Am I reading correctly that the C8 requires 115 feet?

Warp Factor

What is stupid about the gear ratios?

flatwater

I see the approach angle for the C8 is 9.8 degrees. Anyone know what it is for the C6 or C7? I couldn't find it. That could help determine the value/need for E60 lift option.

Impressive!

Not sure I see where you are coming from on this...

A C7 Z06 has a 1/4 mile of 10.95s at 127mph
A C7 Z51 has a 1/4 mile of 12.0s at 117mph

How is 11.3s at 121mph not a really impressive result for the base Corvette? There aren't a lot of cars in that snack bracket... virtually none in a similar price range.

Oh, and the C8 isn't a drag strip car anyway!!! It will do very well on a track (road course) vs. those 350hp cars

Nice find!

Very nice specs, nobody can really complain about 0-60 in 2.9 and a 1/4 a 11.3@121 with a top of 193 out of 500hp.

Sure, 10.9@130 and 200mph for numbers would look great, but that is where the new Z will come in, probably much better.

For fun I researched GMs published specs on the C7 Z06 with A8 and it was 0-60 2.95 1/4 at 10.95@127 with Z07 package.

I don't have time, but the 2019 ZR1 specs I found are 212 mph top speed and 0-60 in 2.85.
