The trap speed on the c8 kind of sucked at like 120mph or so. I was hoping to see low 120s and high 10s et.

But but I thought all C8s were going to be low 11 second cars because that's what the magazines got! It's almost like there is a learning curve or something lol - for those that can't detect sarcasm or humor that was pure point of this.
There will be plenty of low 11 C8s, and probably high 10s. I still think that these DCT equipped cars are going to have a bit more of a learning curve to them then some people on the outside are anticipating.

Well if the owner isn't a complete mental case and doesn't beat the absolute crap outta the car in the first 100 miles trying to get YT famous then then won't all break like that.
I hope GM and other manufacturers are taking notice of this nonsense. I hope they start finding ways to ensure that these guys are not the first to get cars in the future. Some of us just want to get our C8s and enjoy it and follow proper break in procedure and then maybe take it to the track once in a while and not sit on the dealership lot doing burnouts and driving like a maniac. Half of these guys probably aren't even Chevy Enthusiasts. They're just a bunch of knuckleheads with money and a bunch of followers. And when they're done beating the crap out of a new C8 for no reason they'll ditch it for the next best thing. But these guys seem to always get cars before anyone else. Maybe I should start behaving like that so I can get my cars faster.

Yep everyone wants to be first. I remember someone here saying they didn't expect people to treat the C8 like the morons with the GT500 did but everyone wants to be first to do this or that.
