The persistent and loud demand from a LARGE percentage of EDUCATED Corvette owners demanding a DCT option will NOT go away until GM offers a DCT option.
GM is monitoring this forum, they are aware of the demands, and they need to take immediate action.

For the record, the DCT subject was brought up in this thread by DCT haters making sarcastic comments.
I'll drop the subject as requested, now that the validity and necessity of a DCT option has been proven, yet again, in this thread.



Good to see a stickshift C7 has just broken into the 11's as well. (Rodney at RPM?)

You are saying charging $11,000 for a transmission option is a STRONG reason? The Corvette is popular because its a bargain purchase. Not because its littered with options that cost 1/5th of the cars price.

While I agree the Corvette should get a DCT option in the future. Asking customers to pay $11,000 for it is definitely the wrong answer.


*edit* Just noticed the request to stay on topic. I agree. This will be my last post addressing DCT in this thread.

Loving it!!

Just sent that to my Dad. He will be ordering the A6.. but great to see the stock M7 in the 11's too.

Hey guys...here's a great idea:
Start a thread in the C7 Tech Section discussion the possible merits of a DCT over the A6 and M7.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but then you can debate all issues related to each unit to your heart's content.

my .02

I really think these new auto's with very low first gears just drag race well. the torque rating of this motor is better and you seeing that in the lower ET's.

I knew this car would be quicker as seen as I saw the torque figures. To any person who is suprised by this should read up on torque and horsepower.

anyone trying to minimize that a base corvette running this time is not impressive needs to drink a glass of STFU IMO.

the C6 was a 12 second car that some people put in the 11's with great driving and or conditions. the C7 is looking to be more of an 11 second car that people will put in the 12's with poor driving and or poor conditions.

I personaly like the car alot. if I did not have young daugters I would be flipping my Zl1 for one.

Sure do..just compare tracks..and tell your buddy great job running what my buddies stock 13 GT500 did. I got rid my fast car when went to my c6. And amazing every record is done at 2 tracks. MIR/ATCO. wonder why?

But as said good job. Least you got it to perform what it should be capable of.

Interesting. The quickest stock A4 LS1 Fbody and A4 LS1 GTO were both run at Rockingham Drawgway in NC. The GTO actually ran a tad quicker at Rockingham than it did at Atco. I would know this because I ran both cars and the GTO was ran on both tracks. Neither car had traction issues and both were autos so it was all about 'the magical air.' so uh, no not every LSX/LTX record is set at Atco/MIR.

.

Without looking at dyno graphs it appears the C7 has a harder push from the 1/8th to the 1/4. Look at the MPH increase (in terms of percentage.)

Nobody did, and I just now saw this. I live 50min. north of Atco.
Awaiting the results.

Looks like at 10:00a.m. the DA was -2000 :eek:
I certainly wish I knew about this ahead of time!!!
