Default Worlds quickest all-motor C7 Corvette?



The battle for the quickest C7 Corvette in the world has begun to heat up now that tuners have had some time to sink their teeth into the newest GM in town. There have been plenty of claims as to who's the quickest and we thought we'd share one; an automatic equipped C7 tuned by LMR that's run a best of 11.47 @ 121.9 MPH on stock tires. What's even better, it cut a 1.6 60-ft on stock tires!
Is this the quickest all-motor C7 on the planet?

Checkout the upcoming blog post for more info.

and 11.5's with just a tune is INSANE.

Can't wait to see an auto on the bottle. If they could still 60 that hard but trap almost 130 on stock tires that would be impressive.

If you drove one you would change your mind. It is one hell of a car. Very high tech. I've been driving Corvettes since 1962 and the C7 puts all the rest to shame. GM did a great job developing the new C7.

YOU posted a vid of a white C7 manual on nitrous 129mph trap speed, couldn't hook though. If the auto can hook, it will see 10s, better converter, 9s.

For all others here's the tread, the vid is on page 5, 11.44 @ 129 on a 100 shot.

So it looks like these are not going to be a flop like the last LT1?

Would be cool to see if people swap these new LT1s in place of the old LT1s, that way they will still be an LT1 car
