I promise you that is a 10 second car bone stock. Motor Trend drivers can’t drive.
I don’t like it will get much better on stock tires. Maybe a a tenth or two. How can you launch better than 2.8? That’s sticky tire time all day long. The hp/weight is not high enough to go more than 124.

c8 at 11.1 123
C6z at 11.1 128. Which would you rather have?

The car trapping 128! I do believe the C8 will just break into high 10s.

I promise you, that car is a stock 10 second car. I am not the smartest guy but I know a thing or two about drag racing. I have personally always ran much quicker times than motor trend times in my previous cars.

Just wait and see, people will run 10s with them stock.
What did I say? I said with great air and the right air pressure you could see .1 or .2 decrease in time. I agree tens will be there it’s not hard. When you start at 11.1 in normal air.

But you’re not going to see .5 or .6 drop in time(media time to private stock runs) like you did with the c6/c7 z06.

At this point I’d likely rather have the C8

I'm insanely impressed with the 0-60 but I was a little surprised that it only bested the C7Z51 around the track by .9 with stickier tires and non-runflats.

The brake by wire in this car really, really bothers me. Like deal breaker type bother. Especially since I've read 3 reviews and all of them have mentioned issues with it.

That just goes to show you how awesome the C7 platform really is/was
