Poll Zero to 100

Going by this the device must be using DGPS .
GPS accuracy for public use typically ranges from 3 to 10 meters under optimal conditions, such as an unobstructed view of the sky. In urban environments or areas with obstacles, this accuracy can degrade to 10 to 20 meters. The U.S. government specifies that civilian GPS receivers should achieve 4 meters RMS accuracy, with many devices performing better at around 2.5 meters under ideal conditions. Advanced systems like Differential GPS (DGPS) can enhance accuracy to within 1 to 3 meters.

That was true as late as the early 80's or so but not anymore. When I retired from Engineering we were using GPS equipment with accuracy of less than a centimeter. The governments had opened accuracy access to their satellites. Not to say that there aren't still factors limiting accuracy but they are mostly the quality of equipment you are using and the number of satellites it's capable of using at a time.

Very interesting. Don’t forget I’m fairly old. I remember the eighties better than the 2020’s . And definitely better than the seventies, lol . I would assume that the equipment needed for that kind of accuracy would be fairly expensive . Makes me wonder how accurate the chip in the C8 is .

Within a few feet at the very least. At least it knows the exact location when to raise and lower at Home Hardware. It's always in the same spot.

3.4 seems slow to me. I've seen 3.1, 3.0, and occasionally, a 2.9 on my stock '23 Stingray Z51. Now, the Z51 gives a slightly higher drive ratio than non Z51, (something like 5.12 to 4.89 ish). Carrying a passenger will obviously increase time. As will a full fuel tank. Another factor is elevation. I was at Spring Mountain (822 M) last January, and the cars all bogged down when releasing the brake on a launch. It's the rarefied air at altitude.

Oh crap. I just noticed, the OP stated 2.4, not 3.4. oops

Agreed. The lift memory is quite impressive.

I’m not referring to a throttle body. Car is completely stock. 0-100 in 2.4

I was referring to one of the posts indicating a .3 second drop in time because of installing a Soler throttle body, which of course is not accurate.
