It's in the first post in this thread. Per Chevy, it's either 14.4 sec (auto) or 14.3 sec (manual).

Wow, just went out and took a look at my lower grille. It's the same as the pics (the closed off one)... Now wondering if the 1LS grille is the same myself, as it might make sense that they wanted to keep the engine hotter for emissions/fuel economy reasons on the 2LS?
... Never thought they would have changed that from LT to LS... Surely there must be a "reason"? |

Do you think it's to adjust the under hood temp, or for aerodynamic reasons?
Hopefully someone with a 1LS will chime in and let us know if that lower grille is open or closed. If I had to guess, I'd say the 2LS is the only one with the modified grille. If the 1LS has it, then it would seem more like cosmetic product/trim level differentiation than a performance change.

Finally took the time to throw the car into "M" and run the car in "Tapshift" mode.
Car runs all 6 gears up and down in that mode. |

When you shift to M, what gear does it default to (may depend on the speed your at at the time)? If you shift to M at a relatively low speed, and hit the plus paddle to increase the gearing level to 6, does the car upshift with each paddle press, or does it upshift as your speed increases? What does the DIC show as you hit the plus paddle? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to understand.

When shifting to M at a stop....I got a 1 on the DIC, which I confirmed by running that out for a short bit....then up paddle press...to 2-3-4-5-and finally 6. I could feel each shift. I then did the reverse....neg paddle press......and again.....could feel each different gear pull in. Each time I made a change.....the display on the DIC changed to indicate what gear I was in. Simple. I have no grand plan to do this on a regular basis, but just wanted to confirm on a 2013 2LS, as an owner, that it does indeed "tapshift". |

ERS can mimic TapShift, depending on how/when you use the paddles.

Although mostly useless, I have found a couple situations that it can be fun in even though it's not really "TapShift"... |

All you are doing is setting the max gear that the car will automatically shift to, yes this allows you a little fun holding a gear or downshifting.
But Let's be ABSOLUTELY clear folks....... At a stop light, you could shift the 2LS to "M", click the + paddle until it says 6 and drive all day just like you were in "D"

I bought my 2013 2LS a few months ago. Is there any way I can get the original 6.0 second 0-60 time just by taking it to a dyno and freeing up the remaining HP? I know they don't make tuners for the V6 models. |

Not that it matters too much, but my local dealer just got in a 2014 1LS and 2LS... The lower grilles are the same. I see no difference in the appearance in the cars except the MPG rating on the window sticker, so I'm thinking the 2.92 rear end gear has carried over from the 2012-2013 cars.
