Thumbs up Ran my new C6 to a possible bone stock automatic Corvette world record?

Went to Atco Raceway yesterday to baseline my bone stock C6 A6 and came away with what might very well be THE quickest/fastest time ever recorded for a pure bone stock automatic transmissioned Corvette since 1971 (or maybe ever? ): 12.48@112.11 on a 1.88 sixty foot.
I really love this car.

It's the new for 2006 6L80E 6 speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Great trans.
I'd just left the automatic part off of my sig to mess with people.

Do all the new autos have the paddleshift a-6 tranny? I am thinking of getting my wife a new vette to park beside mine. She wants an auto.

Amazing times! Just curious, did you shift or did you let it shift by itself? also did you try both and what was the difference?

From what I have seen in motor trend, the fastest stock 06 C6 ZO6 time is 12 flat @ either 107 or 111. Of course it was the professional driver mod.

Congrats on the killer time, thats haulin!

Thats the Z06 though, and the trap speeds were alot more than 107-111. They were over 120. and a 12.0 in a C6 Z06 isn't a driver mod thats an average driver in an above average car. The Z06 has easy 11's in it.

But a 12.48 in a bone stock C6 auto is impressive.

Yes, for 2006 all automatic C6s have the new 6L80E with paddles.

Very nice. I wonder if we can upgrade the 05/06 goats with the A6.

Professional driver? 12.0 is actually quite horrible for that car. Most magazines never run a car to it's true acceleration potential, these same guys had stock LS1 F-bodies running 13.6s and even 13.8s when the rest of us were getting 12.9s - 13.3s out of them.
The bone stock C6 Z06 record stands at 11.40@124 right now I think, a far cry from Motor Trend's 12.0.
But again my runs/claims are not about the manual cars, only the automatics.

I just left it in 'S' automatic mode (there are three modes, 'D' for just cruising smoothly, 'S' automatic which firms the shifts up/holds the gears a bit more and then 'S' paddle mode. I was going to experiment with the paddles but it was shifting pretty high all on it's own so I didn't want to lose what few passes I had left.
I do love the paddles on the street though.
