Actually if anyone runs 11.5 I'd love to see it.
I'm not saying it can't be done. I don't think Chevy would make it up. I'm just saying usually when a manufacturer posts a time on an unprepped track, those numbers are easily replicated or beaten by magazine folks on similarly unprepped surfaces. Not to mention a 7.9 1/8th on an actual dragstrip.
Where are the times for the manuals in the hands of normal folks. There are enough of them out there in the wild now where someone has to have had one to a dragstrip. What are their real world numbers? Did Chevy ever release the manual's numbers?

I remember hearing them say they got a 3.7 0-60 at some point in that live feed, but never heard anything better than the 11.8 1/4.
Courtney's time was due to a lot of wheel spin, probably caused by her hellacious burnout that overheated the tires. At least that's all I've seen anywhere, just the 1 burnout and trip down the track.
Yes, Chevy released a 3.7 0-60 and an 11.8 at 125 1/4 for the manuals.
