This is sure to draw out the "Cody Crybabies" whose only goto will be they like the noise at 8500 rpms. Can't wait to see some 1/4 mile times.

I wonder what the time will be with some R888R or Cup2R tires. Be nice to see the times with stickier tires and using Dragy.

This is also bound to increase dealer market adjustments.

I've never been called a crybaby, but I love the sound of the C8 Z06 engine, but my only thing is...

The in-car PDR is always way off 0-60, usually off by a minimum of 0.3 to 0.5.

On my 2023 C8 Z51 HTC the PDR always said 2.8, but my Dragy said a low of 3.19 and usually in the 3.3 range.

I won't even look at the PDR in my 2024 C8 Z06, but in 2 tries in 55 degree weather it did the same 3.19 0-60 as the C8 Z51, the summer tires don't like cold weather.

My Porsche 911 Turbo S does repeatable 2.6s 0-60 in 37 degree weather on hard all-season radials, it hits hard.
I would think the Eray on all-seasons will be at least as fast 0-60 in cold weather also.
In the summer I expect my Porsche and the Eray will be even faster on sticky streets.

Initially I wanted the Eray, but I am more about sound than 0-60 acceleration, after I heard the Z06 I was smitten.
From a roll the Z06 is an animal.
If the GT3 Porsche was AWD I would want that over my Turbo S for the sound and my Turbo S is pretty much unbeatable on the street.

The Eray is the perfect Vette for those wanting a fast car for all seasons, if I didn't have the Turbo S I might own an Eray and a Z06.

I said Cody Crybabies.....Do you even know who Cody is?

I have no idea what that is, please enlighten me, but if it is at the expense of sidetracking this thread, PM me.

Thanks

The timer is no good if it shows a 2.1 second 0-60. Would those nay sayers bark that same sentiment if it said 3.1 seconds?

How about this... a Z06 doing 0-60 in 2.1 and 2.2 according to the onboard timer.

You'll notice this poster was also greeted with a huge amount of skepticism for the accuracy of that timer. This isn't anything new or exclusive to the E-Ray. It's accuracy issues have been known for years. There is no need to "what if" an imaginary scenario with that timer.

This is all just another reason why I really look forward to seeing a test between these cars. Side by side, same time, same place, same conditions. Something like an Edmunds U-Drag can't happen soon enough. I'm positive the E-Ray will be faster out of the gate, but it will be interesting to see how things change as the race goes on.

that's gonna be epic. The eray will win because even at the u turn it will put the power down quicker. The top speed of the event should be higher for the Z06. But the eray is going to be 2 or 3 cars ahead from the jump unless they get the Z06 tires heated up well.

Can't wait.

Good side by side comparison of tires between Cup2R, All Season, and 4S. Not sure if this guy is on the CF, but if he is....thanks!

There is a video out there already. I believe its on youtube. I watched it. Eray, Z06 and another car. I think it was a lambo. They ran 1/4 mile on a track all lined up side by side. The eray jumped out of the hole by probably 4 or 5 cars on the Z and at the end of the quarter eray was about 2 cars ahead yet. I would guess another 300' or so the Z would have caught up or taken the lead.

Ifnyou are talking about the Hagerty video they didn’t actually race the Eray and the Z06. Just referenced a prior video where the Z06 raced different cars.

Wow, the F-car had 9mph higher trap speed and was sure running the e-ray down.

Not going to be able to mod the LT6 like the LT2 though. There is already an LPE 2650 being added to an ERay LT2 which will give it any top end power it is lacking to keeping well North of 180mph.

At $400K plus... My $112K coupe is June TPW.

No doubt - just highlights how good the E-ray is off the line

I've yet to see any truly impressive track or Dragy times with forced induction on C8s. Not suggesting they don't exist but on the LT4 platform there were endless examples. There's plenty of C8 dyno numbers but those don't show the whole picture. I'm aware HPT availability is still in it's infancy and currently no TCM tuning is also a limitation but the lack of real world results is disappointing. Especially considering the cost. Gearing is most of the reason.

After having a 611 rwhp C6Z go 169 MPH in the half mile then had a full weight 800 rwhp LT4 ZL1 run 9s in the quarter and 60-130 in 5.2s like clockwork I knew C8 wasn't the platform for adding big power given the results. If I was getting an LT2 car (E-Ray or Stingray) would do the simple bolt-ons Cordes recommends and leave it alone.

One of the reasons I sold my C8 in 2021 is because Cicio couldn't provide any info relating to their TT kit. As for CPR they comment in the C8 FI section talking about their upcoming 2650 kits.

Which is why a boosted LT2 in the ER should be pretty much god-mode...which is what I predicted the day they announced the ER's powertrain. Adding ponies that come into play above 4000 RPM will put the kibosh on being reeled in.
