Default Vbox 0-60 and 60-130 data from Monday's passes at track.

First dataset was the strongest for 0-60 at 3.60 along with several 3.7's. Note that it hits 60 mph in ~177'-187'. The "rollout" option is not selected on my unit, and I am not subtracting rollout (as you would for 1/4 data). I haven't matched up the data to each pass, as there are a lot of start-stop cycles in between with no usable data. Maybe next time out I'll do that. I also can't account for the differences in times, except to say that the car did cool more before the first pass (which is, in fact, the 11.67 pass) than any of the others and the DA was more favorable.







Now, I'm a bit disappointed in the 60-130 data. I thought on a number of passes I ran it past 130, but it was apparently only did on two passes. Bear in mind, I have to run it well past the traps since it's only running 119-120 mph. So, again, next time out I'll make sure it hits 133-135 mph.

The 10.61 was on the 3.60 0-60 and 11.67 1320' pass...


The 10.68 was on the 3.73 0-60 and (I think) the 11.70 1320' pass...


So anyway, I know some people were wondering about 0-60 and rolling acceleration data, so here's a little bit of that.

Interesting!

Are you a really good driver or is your car just that good? I'm genuinely curious.

It's a 6-speed automatic, Z51 with MSRC.

What can we compare the 60-130 times to? How does that compare to a stock LS3 vette? A stock LS7 Z06? The information is interesting, I'm just not sure how fast that is relative to other cars.

There's a list on 6speedonline.com.
I will say, however, that not all data is created equally. A large portion of the data is collected in very low temperatures on roads that are at their limit of a -3% grade. I believe the record for a C6 Z06 is 7.88, however, that is far quicker than the typical C6 Z06 which is typically in the mid-upper 8's.

In a number of places, the 60-130 interval is more regarded than 0-60 or even 1/4 mile ET's.

Is there any data about the intershifting times ?

It must be pretty darn good, since I don't really see the shifts on the graph. I'd be embarrassed to post graphs from my C6 manual trans...

If you look closely at the first graph at about 50mph, it looks to be about .1 seconds maybe less. It is not as noticeable on the second graph. I had to blow it up to 200% to get a better look.

Does anyone else see the same thing or something different. Maybe my eyes are old.

Agreed. Not even GM claims that . All the tests I've seen have been in the 4-sec range.

If traction is the limiting factor, then on a prepped track, I can't see why not.

I'm curious if you have tried the built in 0-60 timer and how it compares to your data? Great times BTW

zx10rcobra : no way in hell the auto is going 3.6secs to 60mph
.

The numbers and the videos don't lie. What is so hard to believe when it's right in front of you ? However I think the most impressive thing with th A6 C7 is how strong it comes on above the 1/8 mile mark. Totally attributed to the LT1's torque curve along with the A6's gearing.

And even then, they got a 3.8. The 3.6 by Snorman is as real as it gets and, in fact, will be improved upon by him and others over time.
