New Corvette Z06 Owner Cracks off a 3.1-Second 0-60 with Passenger

Update 12/30/14: This guy ended up blowing his engine. Click here to read all about how that happened.

This just goes to show that the new Corvette Z06 is a performance monster. According to forum member lawdogg149 who posted this PDR footage to YouTube, it only took a few attempts to get down to a 3.16-second 0-60 time. Best of all, lawdogg149 had his brother in the car.

So if the new Corvette Z06 can rip a 3.16 loaded with two occupants, it is ready for battle, despite the losses we’ve seen in the past. Bring it on, Viper.

Clicking on the link above will take you into a discussion that suggests cold tires could be limiting the C7 Corvette’s performance. Specifically, tires that are less than 115°F may put C7s into a “nanny” mode.

lawdogg149‘s tire temperatures never went above 95°F. Does this mean we’ll see 0-60 runs in the sub three-second range?
