Yea it's definitely a low to mid 11s car... mostly trolling with that one lol

You're right. From the Vegas event it looks to be an 11.1-11.2 car.

NOPE

Ford fanboizzzzz don't use logic

We've already established that the magazines represent what these cars are in the closest manner. I'm not going by what they did at the press event or what Evans ran. I'm going by what we will see when it gets to MT or CD. We used those same rules for the GT and SS. We even counted the Cars.com run as official when the GT was faster. So in like manner, if the GT500 ends up running a slower time than the C8 Z51, then will you acknowledge that? Or will you have some excuse and revert back to "10.6" talk?

Without quoting all the posts on this last page.

C8 VS GT500 - I think real world, we will definitely see back and forth where one comes out on top vs the other. That mid engine setup really gives the C8 a huge advantage.

Magazine tests I think they will probably come close in terms of acceleration, maybe edge to the C8.

GT500 vs RE. I do expect the GT500 to best it in 0-60 and 1/4 in magazine tests. MT only got the RE to an 11.8, if they can't beat that with the GT500 that's pretty bad IMO.

GT500 vs ZL1 - it should beat it, BUT they have gotten good times out of the ZL1, so magazine test # wise the GT500 has it's work cut out for it.

What I would really like to see is them test the ZL1 A10, RE and GT500 all same day same drivers, then test the GT500 CFTP and ZLE A10.

IF the GT500 CFTP comes out on top against the ZLE then I would like to see it tested against the C8 Z51

Very interesting. I think all those comparisons need to happen. Not sure I understand that very last line though. Did you mean if the ZLE A10 comes out on top of the CFTP....?

hahaha I'll go back and fix it.

Meant if the CFTP comes out on top against the ZLE then compare it to the C8 Z51

How much faster do you think the cftp will be around the track compared to the R??.

I don't think the c8 z51 will beat the zle around a track but I could be wrong.

I also expect the c8 to be able to beat the gt500 in a 1/4 on street surfaces but on a prepped surface the gt500 should win if it hooks and on a roll race it'll smash the c8.

I have noticed that many of the results of the tests done by the journals in terms of acceleration and 1/4 of a mile comply with the official numbers provided by GM (Motortrend achieved 2.8 secs from 0-60 and 11.1 in 1/4 of mile), but in the lateral acceleration they were not even close, Motortrend achieved 1.04G while official numbers indicate that it can do 1.25G (https://www.motor1.com/news/380820/2020-chevy-corvette- performance-figures /), I think it is necessary to take into account that many magazines were taken by surprise by the handling of the C8 and its possible intentional understeer, so until they get used to how this car is, I don't think that they will be able to take out all the "Average" performance that the C8 can offer against the "Average" performance of the GT500

[GuywithL86]

“ The engine has a dry-sump oil system with three scavenge pumps that can cope with the demands of sustained lateral acceleration of 1.25G”

Please tell me this is not the line you interpreted as gm stating it could handle 1.25g’s in the corners.

I look at it this way.

• There were some advanced drivers (Stangmode, his friend in the video, Billy Johnson, Evan Smith) who can definitely break into the 10s in the GT500
• Ford’s official spec is 0-60: 3.3s, 1/4 mi: 10.7s, 0-100-0: 10.6s
• GM’s official specs for 2020 Stingray are 0-60: 2.9s 1/4 mi: 11.2s
• Some of the same journalists who were running 11.1 and 11.2 in 2020 Stingray were running 11.4 - 11.7 in GT500

Both cars are crazy fast. Get the one you like most and do your best.
