Did Chevy remove reference of 0-60 in 3.7 seconds?
Had a friend ask me this morning about the 2015 Z51 specs. I told him to go check out Chevy's Corvette website. He was impressed with the 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, but I remember seeing a the A8 Z51 officially advertised as 3.7 seconds on the Corvette website (http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-stingray.html). I can't find any reference to that number on the main site any longer. Anyone else notice this?
UPDATE: Added back to the 2016 site

“The Corvette Stingray is a great example of how we are leveraging engineering and technology to improve both efficiency and performance,” said Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing & Supply Chain. “No other car can match 460 horsepower, 0-60 mph in better than 3.7 seconds, and 29 mpg on the highway.”

Wonder why they removed it from the Corvette overview on their primary site (http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-stingray.html)? Lots of other sites still reference the times, but it looks like GM is no longer actively marketing it since they removed it.

Edit: Maybe you meant what Search words did I use? I used, "GM 8 Speed Automatic Corvette 3.7 Seconds 0-60"

Z51 has better rear end axle gear ratios that make it faster !
