0-60 can be just as relevant as 60ft, 330, 1/8th, and 1/4. They just don't use that metric on time slips because drag strips use distance traveled vs rate of time instead of rate of time to reach X mph. Either way they are still measurements of acceleration.

When asked about the performance, the engineers aren't suddenly grinning for no reason. They know what it means to say the C8 will outperform its predecessors. We'll have to wait for official numbers and track tests, but I suspect it's going to set a new standard and be surprising.

I know a tenth drop in 60 ft times shows up in the 1/4 mile et drop of that same tenth. Does a .5 diff to 60 MPH on similar powered and weight vehicles show up a plus or loss of .5 in the 1/4 mile et? I do not know... |

My SS when stock went 4.2 0-60 @ 12.4 1/4 mile. When I did light bolt-on/e85, it went 3.9 @ 12.1 on stock tires. Went to a 305/35/20 Nitto 555r and pulled a 3.4 and went 11.55. So you can see clearly 0-60 has a direct impact on 1/4mi. That is why I keep saying, if the C8 z51 actually pulls 2.8 0-60, it's going to go bottom 11's because I know from experience how quick a 35-3600lb car with 500hp will accelerate to the 1/4mi with specific 0-60's. A 500hp V8 @ 3500lbs isn't going to pull a 2.8 then fall on it's face to only run a mid 11. I do agree being skeptical on the 2.8 claim. I am not saying that it will run that, I am just saying what it will run if does actually pull that off.

Just because it doesn't have a driveshaft doesn't mean it's going to be that much more efficient. I believe it will be SLIGHTLY more efficient.. but if it computes out to 10% or lower then GM is underrating the car more than the rear mounted DCT is being extremely efficient.

Some of you are failing to realize that when the DCT changes gears, it does so WITHOUT a loss of power. THIS is why it will out accelerate a similarly equipped vehicle that is using a conventional transmission. Like someone stated before, you need to change your way of thinking. This is why my AWD 3600 lb, 470 WHP Golf R can run 3 second 0-60 times and run 10.8 quarter miles.

I wonder though, how many people who are buying these actually care about any of that? Most people probably care more about looks; both on the outside and inside. After watching a video where the woman who was in charge of the infotainment shows off all of what you can do with the system, that was impressive. This is a driver's car, and I mean that in a far greater sense than just 0-60 performance.

The Gallardo is probably the closest comparison. 540HP and it was in the mid 11s Again I sure hope the C8 blows my mind. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than get my hopes up. This ^ that would be a hell of an achievement. Hope it happens, but I will remain a little on the glass half empty side lol |

I like the golf club stat lol. I also find it funny the mid engine C8 can fit two full sets of clubs and the Camaro cant fit 1.

Honestly I'm kinda with you here, all I really care about is that the targa top can fit in the trunk(or frunk) after that it doesn't need much more storage space. I would be totally happy if the Z06/ZR1/whatever loses some storage space to be used for more go fast bits (coolers/batteries/electric motors) but I'm sure it won't be too drastic because the old dudes will still want to take their Z06 golfing and Chevy knows that...
