Ex Lambo Hurricane is 3300 pounds(3100ish dry weight) and has 600HP and AWD, the ferrari 488 has 600+ as well. Now that's not meant to knock the C8, because the C8 is going to put up insane numbers I believe, but just saying I don't think that list is a great source to project C8 #s |

It's one and thats it. Thankfully my daily ride is reliable and paid for, so no issues there. |

Again, if the C8 z51 gets out 1 full second to 60mph on the C7 z51, then it will at minimum maintain that spread to the 1/4 mile. Anything less would mean the C7 is making up ground after 60mph and I don't see that happening when the C8 makes more power and shifts faster. Edit* Keep in mind I do agree with a lot of what you are saying. I am basing this on the fact it actually does 2.8 0-60. I would expected to see a 0-60 of 3.5 with a 1/4 mi time of 11.5. I think that is where the difference in opinion lies. I agree that 11.0 is a bit of a stretch, but that is where a 2.8 0-60 would put it based off of what past gm vehicles have ran at similar weights and HP ranges. honestly even with DCT and being ME, 2.8 is one hell of a time on street tires, almost seems impossible.

I'm going to guess that the drivetrain loss on the C8 will be 10% or lower. Hard guess I will say 9%, which on an engine with a crank hp of 495 would mean 450 will make it to the rear wheels. It's a new trans and we don't know the efficiency of it yet. It literally comes down to the resistance of the flywheel and oil in the trans. If it's an 8% loss, that means 470 is making it to the wheels. That kind of efficiency translates into quickness of response. Add to that computer control that can take advantage of and maximize that efficiency, and the C8 is going to be a terrific driver's car. It should be a blast to drive. Although it's not being designed to be a 1/4 mile machine, it won't be a slouch either. Don't underestimate the importance of aerodynamics beyond 60 mph. The C8 is going to get more performance out of 495 hp than any previous Corvette.
