I'll probably tune mine at some point. Headers, intake, TB, no cats. Car launches pretty well, but gearing doesn't do it any favors at highway speed.

Congrats! When you do the dragy are you going to do the C4 also?
Yes, i am a little nervous about doing it on my sons car because he will demand I pay if anything breaks...lolololol...i'm hoping a low 14 high 13 in his car. It feels like it pulls nicely.

the c8 has been alot of fun so far...0-60 time is incredible considering its rwd on a cold street...

What's up guys...figured I would come back and give the DRAGY update on the C8 Zed 51

VERY impressed with this car and happy I didn't spend extra to get the Z06. Best times so far...

0-60 in 2.7
0-100 in 7.1
1/4 10.95@124mph

Dislikes...slight ticking from the DI that all of them make...not a big deal but I figure I would mention it.

These are street passes but the car has little to no issues hooking up even when its in the 40s outside...here is an 11.2 video on slightly damp streets recorded with the PDR.

Favorite vette by far for two simple reasons, drivability and balance...

The C4 Corvette is one of the biggest pile of sh!t vehicles I see on a regular bases. Granted, at a car dealership a lot of what we see is higher mileage, a lot of times abused trade-ins. But man those cars are terrible. The windows, the door locks, nothing works. They all overheat. The clutch is gone in all of them. Still to this day, after 7-8 years in the car business, I've only been broke down, stranded twice on test drives. Both times were C4 Corvettes.
