Your not thinking the factory timer is correct right. Not to burst your bubble but that timer is waaay off. My buddy has a c8 gets same results on his factory timer. Then he uses a draggy(real results)and he’s 3.5.

Default For sale...at msrp

NOT
According to all this expert advice about my first 0 to 60 run I have really fucked up. And I don't know **** about anything so I might as well sell it or take it to a engine shop.

Good result! I got 3.1 on my first attempt. I need to try it again now that it's gotten warmer outside.

I got a 2.6 secs on the dashboard timer with AC off and in Sport Mode, on fresh blacktop, 95F, which equates to 3.07 in the PDR Cosworth Statistics page.

Do a few back to back 0-60's on a good surface and your timing will improve. My first attempt was a 3.2, then a 2.9 and I'm good with that. No need to keep trying because the car did what it suppose to do. 2021 coupe Z51.

2.8, 3.0 whatever. I just want to know what does 3 sec or close actually feel like?! The C7 was supp to do what, 4.2? The best I could do with a stick in my C7 according to the dash timer was 4.6 and that felt awesome. My C8 is on order and I can't wait to see what 3.0 feels like.

The G force pushes you back in the seat a lot harder than the C7. It's very surprising.

I was able to get 4.0 in my non Z51 C7 several times. 4.2 was more often though.

Don't forget to do 0-60 runs in opposite directions! Do one going one way, and then turn around and do it again. This way there is no risk of a slope affecting your time(s)..

It's funny when I give people launches especially chicks they talk about it hurting their organs🤷‍♂️. I'm used to it. It goes like hell out of the hole.
