There have been several people that weighed their cars and converting the amount of fuel to roughly the same amount the difference was 48 lbs. So give or take 10-5 lbs for slight differences and you are pretty close.

I'm still LMFAO at people on this board who claimed the Z51 package added 146#.

That 11.49 run was in air that is about as good as it gets (-1500ft) he had a weird shifting issue on that run so there is some improvement to be had but I don't see a 11.2X. He may touch a high 11.3x, that is my guess.

I agree with this.
Also, I haven't really played around with shifting the car manually. Nor have I again tried to launch with some rpm (the one time I tried it, the car didn't seem to like it). So there could be more there, but it's going to take a few more outings to explore.
Honestly, I'd like to throw a set of Kooks headers/catted midpipe/tune on the car and see how far into the 10's it'll go like that.

Guys I have a great question here. I'm a dealer and I just sold a 2014 z51 7speed. Car was very fast. Yestorday I sold a base 2014 non z51 with automatic and was blown away on how hard this car pulled. Assuming the same driver did the 1/4 what's faster 7sp or automatic

Anyone thinking you can just drive an auto car and all ET's will be within a .10 is way wrong. I'm a stick guy... But autos rule (when a combo is sorted out AND when .... I'm

Everything we have seen so far says that the auto is much better at the drag strip. It had the ability to launch much harder than the M7. The M7 seems to be hampered by a lot of torque management when you try to launch it hard.

Achmed, that's not too shabby! Actually a little more seat time and I think they could easily wring out another .1 to .2 secs. What most of these testers don't realize is that the software in the A6 adapts to the driver's style. My A6 is no where near the same sluggish A6 in the my C6 when I first got the car. I'm sure this holds true to the C7 as well.

Our LMR650HP heads/cam package went 2.9 0-60mph last time out. These cars launch so well!

I am pretty sure my car has an 11.3 in it. I'll going to try to get it back to Atco in the next week and cross my fingers.

Your 60' is amazing and has a lot to do with gearing, traction and low end torque of this C7. Maybe weight transfer for further gains?
