Actually even better than I expected for sure. 
To be able to get one of these C7'S with an A6 and achieve even 11.9's out of the box is just what I've been waiting for.

Great sixty foot times
Great news for the c7a6. The question is the factors responsible for the improvement in 60 foot times and quarter mile times. The improvements in the 60 foot times are consistent with a smaller torque converter. Most c6a6 cars brake stall at about 2000-2100 and so far some posts indicate a brake stall of 2500. This could be a result of the higher low rpm torque from the variable cam timing. If so time slips from c6zo6 cars that had stock motors and converted to aftermarket a6 conversion should be nearly identical since gm indicates that the c7 and zo6 have identical torque output up to 4000 rpm. On the other hand time slips from c6a6 cars with a "small" yank torque converter might more closely resemble the postings for the c7a6 cars. Anyone care to post?

Well.......... That's a good question. Not really much out there far as forced induction at the moment. As much as I'd like to go the turbo route. I know I'll always be a nitrous man at heart. I'm thinking I'd like to see how far I can go with out destroying the car and how fast I can push the STOCK short block, transmission, rearend, and basically without taking the creature comforts away (the whole point of owning a Vette). Any body can cut a car up and install big cube motors, 4l80e/turbo400/ect. This car is a 3lt car with a good bit of options and I really don't want to take away any of them. Lol My last few vettes was base model 1lt cars and I'm enjoy the bells and whistles. Hahaha
Ps But LMR has got some plans and we are gonna see what we come up with. Stay tuned in. Lol

The 1.68 on 285 street tires is impressive...I remember when "rmsman" cut a 1.6x with stock torque converter NA geared C5 with similar power on a well prepped on 275/40r18 street tires I was impressed as well.

Funny but true. Not 6 months ago, this forum was a train wreck with people up in arms about the lack of power and skinny tires. Forget the rear end. Now all those cynics are gone as their arguments have been proven invalid. It's especially nice to see both stock and tuned cars getting better performance numbers than those that GM posted.
The C7 is proving to be everything GM said it would be and more. I can only imagine with the future will bring with the Z performance versions. This car has some seriously scary potential!

Dont hold your breath on the awd. I could care less for my own self if they offer a dct or not in the future. For those who arent ****** and want the dct, I hope GM offers it for them. For the ******, I hope you never see dct's.

Are you really comparing a C6 ZR1 to a C7
Guess you haven't driven both yet
