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.

I will be waiting to see where the C8 actually comes in at on actual magazine tests. I honestly cannot see low low 11.s, naturally I will be thrilled if it does. I am a conservative realistic person that only dabbles in drag racing late model cars, and did a lot back in the day also with the 60's cars. Look me up if you see some actual real world tests in non hero conditions OK...
