hey guys, we still don't know independently tested C8 Z06 performance numbers until Car And Driver (one if not the best testers in the industry) does their instrumented test. I wanted to share their test results of the 2020 C8 z51 and 2015 Z06.
Key take aways:
1. C8 is faster than C7 Z06 at 0-60 by 0.2 seconds and GM claims that C8 Z06 will do 0-60 in 2.6 (0.2 seconds faster than C8), but C8 is actually slower than C7 Z06 in the real world rolling start 5-60 (eliminates launch control) by 0.3 seconds and the C8 Z06 needs to beat 3.2 seconds which will be hard to do with less TQ.
2. 70-0 braking: C7 Z06 stops in 21 ft less than a C8, that is a huge difference. C8 Z06 70-0 number to beat is 128ft
I am a numbers nerd, so here are some more numbers that show where C8 and C7 Z06 stack up in the list of the fastest accelerating internal combustion engine cars with no electrical assist. It will not be easy for the C8 Z06 to beat C7 Z06
