You know the 60’ has to be pretty impressive as the trap is only 121.
Most (rwd) cars are at least mid to high 120s@basement 11s. Pretty impressive, especially considering we know more power and stickier tires are coming on later models.

I have to say I am impressed by the 1/4 mile time.
The handling numbers do concern me as previously posted.

I know it's mid engine so you don't need alot of tire up front, but it's only on 245s. I think the understeer will easily be corrected by some wider tires. Now the brake by wire,that sucks...

Strange, the C&D test article originally showed 0-60 in 2.8 sec. and 1/4 mile in 11.2 @ 122 mph. It's been updated and now says 2.9 sec and 11.3 @ 122 mph.

Ford doesn't post lap times because even though Ford cars are capable or impressive lap times they're not impressive enough for anyone to care about enough apparently or beat the competition. Better to leave the fanboys to argue and lay out hypotheticals on their behalf. Not a bad gameplan.

That 11.1 @123 is impressive, and it bested the gm estimates/claims of 11.3 @121. I imagine at the strip in the near future we'll be seeing them stock in the high 10s.

Reading the C&D review I almost get the feeling they are a tad disappointed . They loved the acceleration but in their tests the braking and handling was slightly behind the C7 Z51. That shocks me
"GM’s chassis-tuning track record is coloring our impressions here, but the previous Corvette—as well as the Alpha-platform Camaro, ATS, and CTS—seem to defy the laws of physics at their handling limits. Even if they understeer mildly, those cars’ chassis respond to miniscule additional steering inputs or slight changes in throttle position even at the absolute handling limit, making them continually adjustable. The C8 Corvette doesn’t perform this same magic trick" "Yet. Maybe it’s just a matter of tuning, or tire selection. One GM insider hinted to us that future variants of the Corvette might be less one-dimensional at their handling limits. That will be a welcome upgrade for master-level drivers trained on exotic mid-engine cars. What’s also disappointing is that the 149-foot 70-to-0-mph braking performance stopped short of matching that first C7 Stingray’s 146-foot stop—to say nothing of the several later Stingrays we tested, which stopped as many as 13 feet sooner than that." But the straight line stuff sure as hell seems like it's a missile "And yet the C8 laid down a blazing 2.8-second 0-to-60-mph run, absolutely crucifying the C7’s 3.9-second performance. Dropping nearly one-third of the time from an acceleration run with no additional power is possibly the biggest coup ever accomplished by an automaker since the miracle of harnessing combustion itself." |
