    Why was he just casually cruising from like 80 to 130?

      The GPS speed tracker was having a slight delay. If the actual speedo on the car was visible, you could have seen the difference.

    He needs to run that again, he did 169+ in the standing mile and only picked up @14mph in 2.3 m, something was up with the shifting on the 2.3 m run.

  • @markbunn8576
    @markbunn8576 9 місяців тому +5

    It sounded like it was half throttle from about 40 seconds until 1 minute and then you can hear the transmission downshift when he floors it. It probably would've gone over 190 with a full run.

    I wonder why this run was chosen as the upload because it’s clearly not a full run when the car downshifts for more revs mid run.

    Seems like there was a gearing issue half way through, and Johnny, this one could def go a bit faster with a longer stretch correct ? It looks like one those of trickle accelerating cars at the very top end.

    Boy, did that seem (relatively) slow. I have to wonder if he 1) had the throttle buried and 2) was shifting manually.

    Yeah, I would have pushed it further through the gears. No sight of the end of the runway, maybe a last chance to break marker? Good run still, gotta love the Vette!!

      ​​​​​​@@C8Z51Scottthis is not a base model it's a pre-Z06 Z51. It has more downforce from a different splitter/higher rear wing, 5 more hp, & shorter gearing.
      This oddly seems like a casual 1st test run, from the launch the shifting was done improperly to say the least. These cars easily clear 190 w/the higher Z51 rear wing.
      Best place to see the impressive capability of the C8 bone stock on track is SpeedPhenom(many other models too). He's a great driver & wrung out both this model & his Z06 for many mths on multiple tracks with a great camera setup.
