If I were to ever get a Vette, It would have to be something a little rare... Z06, or even ZR1. The C7 Z06 is only supposed to be around 78K. Way out of my price range but maybe in a few years.

link to the C7 times?

and yes the Z06 starts at 76K but add in the Z07 package with a few much wanted/needed toys and you're looking around 85-95K range. i mean all that power and speed why not get the carbon ceramic brakes

And yes, it is Auto

There are a couple 9 sec passes from some other C7's but they were bolt on/ cammed and NOS. I'll go to the Vette forum and post their times.

For some reason, the vette forum doesn't have a sticky on their C7 fast list so I'm not going to scroll through 50 pages. However, the C6 Z06 (which has about 40 more bhp than a base C7) has gotten into the 10's bone stock with just DR's. A bolt on C7 is just as fast.

i would get the auto as well.

sidenote what the hell is the gearing in the vette?! he finished the pass in what i could hear was only 3rd gear? or pardon my non-knowledge of the vette tranny, but maybe started in 2nd if possible?

i heard shift to 2nd and shift to 3rd then crossed the line.

I'm not sure actually... I know in the C6 Z06 can hit 60mph in 1st gear, lol. Whats disappointing though is the Vette doesn't come with a DCT... even the new 80k+ Z06 still has the standard slush box. You would think for that kind of money they would put something more advanced in there.

technically a single clutch isnt the devil vs a DCT if it's done right.

in all honesty i love the 7AT in the Z. its responsive and quick to where it feels real unlike the AT in a camaro. using that as reference since i recently drove one and played with the AT stuff a bit. also drove my friends C6 AT vetter and it's awful. i never have driven the C7 AT yet so i can not comment on if it's good or bad.

buttttttt yes a DCT is awesome i know. then look at something like the aventador. i believe its a double plate single clutch and just as fast as most DCTs but still kicks you in the back of the head lettign you know you just grabbed another gear lol

FP, he makes it to fourth near the end. But those are quick changes.
