C5Z is quicker than c8 (base….any trim….Z51 is base also)

after 54,000 miles in my 22 c8 I googled the times.

0-60, c8 kills all sub $100k cars new msrp

60-130, a couple seconds slower than a c5Z or c7 M7

im a bit surprised.

Your pushing almost 400 more pounds in the C8........Weight kills.

The quickest 1/4 mile ET for a bone stock C5 Z06 is 11.78@118+mph.

For a bone stock C8 Stingray? 10.9@123+.

The C8 is a quick and comfortable sports car. My previous Mustang and Z would run away from it 60-130. However I prefer the C8 HTC at this time in my life. A great GT car.

The C5 Z06 was way ahead of its time and still holds up pretty well.

What data are you using? Its not remotely close. A stock C5 Z is a 11.5-13.0 second 60-130 car depending on the year and a typical C7 is mid 10-11. A C8 is mid to low 9s. Do you mean a C6Z?
