Cousins and both excellent drivers....wouldnt it be fun if the car was a 7 speed?
Alas its probably an auto.

Racer

Having driven down the drag strip probably a 1000 times and maybe 800 of them in an Auto, I would have to say they probably are having a lot of fun in it. It's not like you are winding through the mountains.

Thank God C7 haters are almost gone. Great ET!! Mph is great too !! Who tuned the car ?

Stick or auto????????

Blackdevil77

Definitely auto. Unfortunately, the sticks are not that fast

peter pan

Awesome

LT1_E85_Corvette

Sticks are fast... they just have to shift 4 times where the auto only shifts twice. Someone ran 11.9 @ 119 in a manual bone stock

No change in tires? The 60ft times these cars are pulling are outrageous for stock. If LS3 vettes could have hooked like this there would have been a lot more stock guys in the 11s as well.

The A6/M7 discrepancy sucks. Chevy made the autos in particular launch so well that it's not a contest. Competing with GTRs at this level (competing, not winning).

cmorales515

I think your math might be off on that...sticks finish the 1/4 in 5th while the A6s finish in 3rd?

Shift time is no big deal if you can really row the gears. M7s should logically have less parasitic loss and put down more RWHP, plus have a gear ratio advantage.

The 60ft or 330ft race is really the whole 1/4, and hooking hard there can even juice up your 1/4 trap speed. Wouldn't be surprised to see a stock M7 pull on a stock A6 from a roll.

Mike's LS3

Sticks should shift 3 times and be in fourth at the finish ( I don't count starting in first as shifting). Manual fourth gear is 1:1 on the C7.

C7pimp

Manuals finish in 4th in a 1/4, not in 5th.

cmorales515

To be clear, I'm not the guy saying M7s shift 4 times in the 1/4 or that M7s finish the 1/4 in 5th gear. I posed my response as a question to highlight the problem with the claim. I've never driven a C7 but of course assume that an M7 finishes the 1/4 in 4th, which I assume is the 1:1 gear. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that M7s and A6s both actually shift 3 (and only 3) times in the 1/4 mile.

Yes it's an auto lol.With stock tires. Not all of us can make a 9 sec pass like you Tommy,lol

The LS3 is was not an 11 second car period, forget the hero runs, the C7 is a solid 11 second car, it has made the C5/C6 ( same basic platform) show their age not with just the trans, but with motor, etc....
The performance version of the C7 is going to be unreal

NytmereZ

For 1/4 racing it is common knowledge that automatic cars are always better.

cmorales515

I didn't say it was...but it would have been in many cases if it had been capable of cutting low 1.7 60ft times on stock tires as the C7 can do. It's pretty obvious the big difference is in the launch here. We're talking about 20-25 rwhp more in the C7 but also about 100-200 lbs of additional weight, so the power-to-weight ratios aren't radically different (but obviously better for the C7).

Also keep in mind that we're receiving news of C7 runs in November, not July. Some good DA out there now. There is a substantial difference in straight line performance between the LS3 C6 and the C7, but a large part of that is simply in the launch.

NytmereZ

Let it go already, the LS motors are yesterday's news its a dinosaur compared to the new LT1, you cannot just look at rwhp's, look at the power and TQ made throughout all the RPM's, add that to new technology and you get more than just a "better 60ft"
