C7 won't start and electronics won't turn off!

It's a 2014 Z51 A6, was running fine and the last time I tried starting it, it hesitated and electronics turned on but not the engine.

I noticed a "theft deterrent" message popped up.

As usual...

911S - 5.2 seconds
C8: 6.0 seconds

In any real life race situation just tap on the breaks and say you...

Tire pressure looks a bit bigh at 37/38 - unless if these are to be run with more pressure than the C7?

Sooo much complaining.

I'm happy they released a time.

Would you prefer if they kept it under wraps like they did with each C7 model?

When they read this type of feedback it probably gives...

Yes. Some of the altered pics in thread are sooo over-exagerrated. I never needed to filter my VY C7 to convince that it looks better.

I'm sure some people slightly altered past yellows (just like...

You can tell which pics are enhanced to make the yellow look better (ex the ones that came from a FB page) because the license plate and other surrounding details arent coloured properly either.

C8 Z51 gearing looks like acceleration drastically reduces after 120 mph. So in a high speed roll race the 911 will beat it. Or in a half mile or longer. Most corvette owners dont do that though.

What 1/4 mile time and trap did R&T get?

I skimmed but didn't see it posted. They said it was one-tenth slower than the A8 C7 Z06 and 5 mph less.

I can't find their A8 C7 Z06 numbers either.

That would make its rolling acceleration from 60 mph slower than a C7, i.e 60 to 123 in 9 seconds vs 60 to 118 n 8.2 seconds.
