60mph to 120mph fast list
Can't find the stats for it. Does anyone have the numbers for 60 to 120mph stats? or other highway speeds , wondering how fast C7 runs from 60 to 120 or other highway speeds. (for C7 vs other cars)

I don't think anyone consistently measure that type of speed test. This opinion piece talks about how 0-60 times are becoming a joke due to launch control programming, brings up an interesting point I guess :-).

mine goes from 5mph to 117 mph really quick, measured from the bottom of the intercostal bridge to just before the top where I slam the brakes to slow it to 60mph, in case the cop is sitting in wait for me.

The author brings up some valid points.
Perhaps a more Real World metric would be 5 or 10 mph to 60 mph.

C7 Z51 manual
0-60 3.9 sec.
5-60 4.4 sec
C7 Grand Sport manual
0-60 3.8 sec.

The Cayman with its small 2.0L turbo is an example of where displacement is proves better than a small turbo engine the manufacturer used to get better fuel economy.
0-60 4.3 sec.
5-60 6.1 sec
1.8 second difference. Yikes!
You have some things working for you with 0-60. First, you can keep the car in the power band, and, second, you have engine inertia on your side. I don't know if it is necessarily gaming the system with launch control, as the author implies. Often, a skilled driver can out perform launch control.

I had a Buick Regal 455 GS years ago that inexplicably had 2.73 rear gears. It wasn't much off the line, but from about 75 to 125 it was a blur. My 2001 Corvette coupe with a built LS3 had savage acceleration from 75 to 150.
