2009 C6 Corvette ZR1: 0-60 in 3.3 seconds 2019 C7 Corvette ZR1: 0-60 in 3.2 seconds

I have always hated 0-60 because it depends greatly on transmission shift points, driver ability, rear end ratio, and most of all traction, which OEM street tires have little of.

Let’s go to a full quarter mile, which show a bigger difference, but again not a huge one.

2009: 11.2 seconds/130.5 mph

2019: 10.6-seconds/134 mph

This would be a better comparison of Ford Mustang GT’s of the same year. Massive improvement.

It's a crappy metric. What about:

Time to stop from 60 mph?

Effective turning radius at 60 mph?

Interior noise in decibels at 60 mph?

Maximum shock absorption at 60 mph?

Nürburgring times.

Or 0-100-0.

>> Nürburgring times.

7:06 vs 7:24 for the old car. Although in 'segmented' times it had went something like 6:54
