Hello everyone and welcome back to Brink of Speed. Today I will show you how to find the secret mode inside of driving modes so you can try to beat GM's 0-60 time! I give you some cool points of view in this video. I really hope you enjoy it! Have a wonderful week everyone!
So you Trust the speedo clock and you are not using a GPS device? What the Heck? These Times der useles. Its proven that the corvette messuring is crazy inacurate. There is no GPS messured c8 wich is near your faketimes. 0-60 is allways more than 3.1+ second
Your absolutely correct. My c8 consistently shows 2.7-2.8 but when run with Draggy the 2.7 run is actually a 3.1. The gm dash incorporates a 1 ft roll out. It’s a feel good dash lol
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel I agree that the dashboard's 0-60 times and the PDR's Video overlay times are many times inaccurate. They even seem to show times under the actual 1-ft rollout. Car and Driver and Motor Trend have standardized measuring their vehicles with the 1-foot rollout. This is also used by the NHRA. That said, my heavier non-Z51 C8 Hard Top Convertible stingray with performance exhaust (like the Z51) is rated at 3.0 by Car and Driver for the 1-ft rollout. I have done 0-60mph runs of 2.95s proven by both Dragy DRG70 (2.95s) and the PI Toolbox (2.917s) that processes the data contained in the PDR's mp4 file. I was pulling 1.14g. RUN CONDITIONS: Altitude 451ft, DA -576ft, slope -0.69%. Outside air temp: 46 deg F. Intake air temp: 54deg F. All Season Tires, Rear tire pressure: 33.1psi, Rear Tire temp: 66deg. Zero tire slip detected. 4.71 gallons of 93 octane fuel in tank. Sport Mode, 3500rpm. Driver weight: 239lbs, Not on a prepared track. With two people in the car and a 10.22 gallons of fuel in tank, I have pulled 3.0 seconds for a 0-60 1ft rollout.
Lowering your rear pressure to 28 psi and raising fronts to 38 psi as can be seen at 2:46-2:48 into the video also helped you to beat GM’s time, which was done at 30/30 psi front/rear.
I don't understand why they have to make it so difficult. You have to do all these steps to unlock the full potential of the car. It's a performance car, people are buying it for the performance. Without videos like this how many people would know all those little steps?
Chevy didnt lie.....Obviously, you have done this Sooo many times, you got the hang of it and have tried all the variables... the Consistency of the times was wild , 2.9 seems like a piece of cake....well done!
Skip741 x Yeah, I know that they didn’t lie, I wasn’t accusing them of anything. They just didn’t get any faster than 2.9. It sure is. Thank you, I appreciate it.
these c8's are beasts off the line against most anything out there... sure down the end of the 1/4 mi someone with higher hp may catch you but off the line, these are formidable and make great use of the power thats there in a 2 wheel drive platform.....new sub here!
Skip741 x They sure are, and I totally agree, but they still produce a fast quarter mile time as well. I’m thinking after about 130mph they will definitely fall off. Awesome, welcome to the Brink of Speed community! 😊👊🙌
Hey there! I know this is old however I just recently hit 500 miles in my 2022 HTC. And yes you know it, went and launched the car several times. My first couple were on concrete and I could consistently get 3.1-3.3 and I was upset. I wanted to see that under 3.0 number,,, It just felt like it didnt want to hook up no matter what mode I was in so I pulled onto a "newer" blacktop highway and that's where I was screaming like a you were!!!!. It definitely liked the black top over the concrete. Of the launches my best were a 2.9, and three 2.8's. And the 2.8's actually came in Sport 2 mode, not race mode.... I had to share! I was laughing and giggling all the way home,,,, its a rush and an unreal feeling! Remarkable launch control and performance! Thanks for all your content and also the email help you gave me on the ground effects kit in the past,,,, loving this car!!!!
I love your videos I have a question I have a C7 Corvette and I need to remove the driver side seat airbag and I can’t find any information on how to do it can you help me with some information on that. Thanks
Dennis T Thank you Dennis, I really appreciate it. I would join the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com and ask them your question, they will know what to do for sure!
Glad to see you having so much fun I’m living through you until I get mine.....My C8 is at 3000 status in which I purchased through Reliable Chevrolet Richardson Texas!!!
So I believe you have Z51 package thus the summer rated Michelin tires? Non Z51 comes with 4 season tires. I would like to have a second set of wheels and the summer rated tires. I have seen some brand new Z06 sets coming up for sale.
question. when you use launch control. after you turn ESC Competitive Model then you put in D then you press the break pedal all the way then the gas pedal all the way When you ready you just release the break pedal right.
Another great upload Mike. I'm sure you're aware that your first upload was deleted, just curious whether you did that or did youtube? Love how the C8 is a true Point, Hold on and Shoot now!😱😉
Peter Carey Thank you Peter, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll tell you about the whole video incident soon. Yep, and you definitely have to hold on for sure! 😳
MICHAEL mcmillen I’m letting the DCT shift, there’s no way I can paddle shift faster than it is shifting. Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words and support. 😊
once its broken in, i wouldnt worry at all..the only thing its gonna damage is ur tires...if u can afford the beast, u can afford new rubber when u wear it out like this
The slowest GM will claim for the Z06 may be 2.7 or probably 2.6 twin turbo gotta be at least 4 tenths faster 0-60 with a little more weight and slightly slower gearing to put down better traction and better highway acceleration 2.2 or less and hybrid Zora bragging rights of less than 2 seconds crazy! Pure Electric Car acceleration of the hyper car kind coming out of a hybrid geez
It would be impossible to do a 0-60 mph run in 2.4 seconds with a normally aspirated 5.5 liter V8 on pump gas with the weight of a C8. I bet the Z06 will actually be a twin turbo.
The 2.8 and 2.9 you did, are those with traction on and stability on? And how many 0 to 60 in a roll can the car take until you let it rest for 5 min or so? Is the 0 to 60 hard on the hard and I assume GM warranty the car for the 0 to 60 launch control mode?
Brink of Speed For some time I’ve been considering and waiting to buy my first C7 Corvette and with all the rave reviews of the C8 ( including yours), I’m leaning more towards waiting for a C8. Thanks for the good content
th-cam.com/video/aMYr0oUgCP8/w-d-xo.html It's all about the traction - tires/surface.. C8 uses a 1ft rollout worth about .3 not sure if C7 PDR did. I would assume it does.
Read my comment above. Same thing to you please pick up a Dragy and post the results v the pdr and dash timer. The 0 to 60 and 0 to 100 times have confused me with the C8 now this video has pretty much figured it out.. tire slip on high 50s on 2-3 shift causing 60 timer to trip early.. THAT'S WHY THE 0 TO 100 DOESNT CHANGE ON THE 2.7 RUNS VS A 3.0 RUN!
Can anyone explain the new YT video where a rear world race is done between c8, supra and 911 S (not 4s). And every time 911 was faster by a very decent time. 0-60 on it is in the mid 3s, i dont understand it
LOL never a need, in the owners manual it says use 93 octane or higher. Was just thinking adding some race fuel to bring up the octane just a few points and see what that will do for your 0-60 time.
@@BrinkofSpeed the Consistancy is what Really matters! what good is a one time number that u can never replicate in real world conditions? youve shown u can do digs and hook it up at 2.9 like noone business...
I know this is an old video but I wanted to mention that I have a non Z-51 and the only way I can get into launch control is from Track mode. My fastest time is 2.7 secs
Mike, that was a nicely produced video. So nice in fact I think you helped me figure out how the C8 is posting these mid to high 2 sec runs to 60 on the pdr and dash timer? Did you notice how your first run or two at 3.1 and 3.0 (using a 1ft rollout which we knew from Dragy results) all of a sudden drops down to 2.8? You find that a but odd? I do. Here's what I suggest may be occurring. The 2-3 shift which occurs in the mid 50s may be chirping that drive tire and causing the timer to trip yet it's still .2 or so away from ACTUALLY hitting 60mph... There was a guy on Instagram with a 2.5 and 2.6 on a cold night... see.. the car is shifitng so hard its Spinning that tire just enough to throw it off. That's why the Dragys are showing much slower runs. How about picking up a Dragy and doing a video with that on v the pdr and dash timer? I would love to see that to prove or disprove my theory.. Thanks again for the great content.. looks like a lot of work. Your superimposing the speedo has finally solved this mystery to me.
Charlie Jones WOW, this is an interesting theory. I never felt the car have tire spin from 2nd to 3rd, only sometimes from 1st to 2nd. I’ll have to do that one of these days and test it out for sure. Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it. 😊
@@BrinkofSpeed th-cam.com/video/-k-vQkOmp38/w-d-xo.html Watch that video. Look at the 0 to 60 time and 0 to 100.. 2.70 is 7.20 2.94 is SAME.. I surmise only way possible is 60 timer is tripped accidentally by a slipping tire from violent 2-3 shift.
@@BrinkofSpeed for a car to drop .2 .3 like that and revert back (inconsistent) when tire slip is so so similar and the conditions (10x in a row etc) something is up. Car is NA. Boosted car? I could see it. Not this car. It should be ripping same or within. 1 .2 MAX but watching them go from low 3 to mid 2's caught my attention. Get that dragy and compare please. Compare those 2.8 runs vs the dragy. Tire slip wouldn't matter to dragy. Bet that car is consistent 3.0 ish on nose. Not 2.6 2.7.
@@BrinkofSpeed Matt Maran that does the car reviews. He calls himself the Subaru WRX guy or something along those lines. He always squill when he goes fast in very fast cars. look him up on TH-cam. He will make you laugh.
check the manual. Also I heard you have to push on the brake hard, like you are panic stopping, nail the gas hard, wait for it to stabilize at 3500, and then slip your foot off brake. Wheel has to be straight as well. All in the manual.
The PDR is deceiving because it measures wheel speed so all runs with even the least bit of wheel spin will be measured as being faster.If you want accurate data get yourself a Dragy it is dead on to the tenth of a second with the drag strip
You don’t want the car to squat. That’s old school drag racing way of thinking. In 2020 You want the tires to plant into the ground but you actually want the body to come up and separate from the back tire.
Cindy Keselowski Lol, we already know you will win that race and I’m totally fine with that. You have an amazing car for sure. There has never been a question of whether the Z06 could be the new C8 in a high speed race.
OK I will let you concede that one to me, probably would save us a big fine too. I plan on keeping my black rose beauty with the old school chrome trims! I must admit, the C8 makes my C7 look dated. Who woulda thunk it?!
You need to let the car shift itself. Paddles will not/do not (proven), make any vehicle quicker. Its just a sporty way of driving. Launch control also in many vehicles, does not yield the quickest times either. Both proven by the pros.
You need to make a C8 stingray corvette that can do 238 miles an hour just like the last 2020 stingray corvette C7 it need to be able to do 280 miles an hour
Trevon Adams i guess I’m just guessing,my 17 zo6 is modified and I had trouble with wheel spin so I left in 2nd great and turned a better 60ft time I just assumed the c8 would do the same thing!

My c8 hit 1000miles today did a launch control 0-60 in 2.6 sec I think turning the A/C off helped. I'ts completely stock.
I love the C8 vett
On board timer? That things lying it's ass off
Lowering your rear pressure to 28 psi and raising fronts to 38 psi as can be seen at 2:46-2:48 into the video also helped you to beat GM’s time, which was done at 30/30 psi front/rear.
Definitely need to have clean pavement too. Helps if you burn off the tires too. 3.5 and lower is probably what you're going to see otherwise
I got a 2.9 with mine without playing with the modes just track no launch control can’t wait to try this your way

Thanks

Way to go...
Jonathan Brown Thanks, yeah it was so fun!
So I believe you have Z51 package thus the summer rated Michelin tires? Non Z51 comes with 4 season tires. I would like to have a second set of wheels and the summer rated tires. I have seen some brand new Z06 sets coming up for sale.
do you have stock tires and were they warm before launching? I have Z51 in my 2020 but can't get under 3 seconds.
question. when you use launch control. after you turn ESC Competitive Model then you put in D then you press the break pedal all the way then the gas pedal all the way When you ready you just release the break pedal right.
Just the look on your face is priceless, it really looks like you might of enjoyed yourself great way to show the different screens,👍 👏
PR 65 Thanks Juan, I sure did enjoy myself! I thought people would enjoy the different screen overlay.
You are one of the lucky ones to own a “unicorn”. It is very very likely that due to the relentless pandemic that no more 2020 C8s will be built.
El Lobo I certainly feel blessed to own this car for sure.
The car seems to be on hold. Probably has something to do with the huge number of C8s at Copart. And the 3 dead GM pro drivers during testing.

another thing to mention is running it on cement as opposed to ashphalt...my best on asphalt is 2.9. Cement I have seen people hit 2.7. good stuff
Amazing! But id be afraid to do that-), i baby my corvette, even ordered that Range device so engine would not break down from AFM v8 to v4 switching
thenow 555 Yeah, I hear ya, it doesn’t scare me at all 😀
once its broken in, i wouldnt worry at all..the only thing its gonna damage is ur tires...if u can afford the beast, u can afford new rubber when u wear it out like this
Ya the lowest I've seen is 2.8 like what you've done. Makes me wonder what the Z06 will do. My prediction for the Z06 is a mind blowing 0-60 in 2.4.
amill1563 Thanks, I loved making this video. I hope so!
Me, Chevy dude and speed phenom has hit the 2.7. I’ve heard of a video getting 2.67
If he does it enough he’ll get it🤙🏼
The slowest GM will claim for the Z06 may be 2.7 or probably 2.6 twin turbo gotta be at least 4 tenths faster 0-60 with a little more weight and slightly slower gearing to put down better traction and better highway acceleration 2.2 or less and hybrid Zora bragging rights of less than 2 seconds crazy! Pure Electric Car acceleration of the hyper car kind coming out of a hybrid geez
Hopefully mid 10s in the 1/4 too
It would be impossible to do a 0-60 mph run in 2.4 seconds with a normally aspirated 5.5 liter V8 on pump gas with the weight of a C8. I bet the Z06 will actually be a twin turbo.
Great video lotta good info I love your car is it a Z 51 2LT car.
red stingray Corvette Thank you bro, it sure is!
Nice - i seen another guy do 3 back to back pulls at 2.7
Ricky fitz That’s awesome!
I remember in your c7 you suggested the conti sport contacts I beleive, I got them too. Which tires and sizes are you running here on the c8?
So get z51 and mag ride? Just mag ride? Ty for sharing
Way to get it bro. I still got 50 miles til break in. Good info though
bobby boyd Thank you, I really appreciate it. You are going to love it!
Like all the information you gave with the video
Joe Banyas I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The 2.8 and 2.9 you did, are those with traction on and stability on? And how many 0 to 60 in a roll can the car take until you let it rest for 5 min or so? Is the 0 to 60 hard on the hard and I assume GM warranty the car for the 0 to 60 launch control mode?
Were you in Sport 1 or Sport 2. You mentioned modulating the accelerator, did you do this after the initial launch?
Im in the DFW area. would you give me a ride around in your c8? I am currently waiting for them to come a bit more down before I buy
Question Mike, have you ever done this with your Z06, and if so, what was the result compared to your C8? Thanks
David Sum I have, and the C7 Z06 launch control is terrible. My best with it was 3.4’s

It's all about the traction - tires/surface.. C8 uses a 1ft rollout worth about .3 not sure if C7 PDR did. I would assume it does.
Does this work on C8' without the Mag-Ride.?
Simple amazing wow! What great video bro thanks 🙏.

I’m addicted to launching this car hha
Corvette Direct Yeah me too
Read my comment above. Same thing to you please pick up a Dragy and post the results v the pdr and dash timer.
The 0 to 60 and 0 to 100 times have confused me with the C8 now this video has pretty much figured it out.. tire slip on high 50s on 2-3 shift causing 60 timer to trip early..
THAT'S WHY THE 0 TO 100 DOESNT CHANGE ON THE 2.7 RUNS VS A 3.0 RUN!
Charlie Jones Venmo is “zacpatty3”
Send me that 100 dollars and I’ll order it tonight.
Btw, shift speed is defined as how “quick”it is, same for acceleration times. How fast it is would be top speed in mph or 1\4 trap-speed
Quick unrelated question..... does your car have the edge red engine cover?
Omar Monelle It does not.
How does this compare to more accurate device like Dragy?
Does your C8 have the Z51 package?
What’s the altitude where you’re at?
good job, thanks
What tires were they?
Smashed !!!!!!!!!!!!!
all trims right? or only on z51
Can you make the launch mode your Z button? So when someone wants to race u can just hit Z mode button and your in launch mode
Walter Miller I wish, that would be way cool.
Did you try it in touring mode with traction off? If possible
Wow, what a car!!!
R Williams Heck yeah!
Mike, what was your best 0-60 in your old c7?
Terry Mertz 3.4 was as fast as I ever got in that car.
How would you build a z06
Crazy staff👍
Robert Brand 😊
Thanks Mike informative and a fun video, felt some of the excitement you shared with us keep it Up thank you very much.
Bob Cohen You’re very welcome Bob! I’m happy you enjoyed it! 😊
Can anyone explain the new YT video where a rear world race is done between c8, supra and 911 S (not 4s). And every time 911 was faster by a very decent time. 0-60 on it is in the mid 3s, i dont understand it
Have you thought about mixing some race fuel in with the 93 octane?
Ray Dowdy No, I don’t think there is any need for that.
LOL never a need, in the owners manual it says use 93 octane or higher. Was just thinking adding some race fuel to bring up the octane just a few points and see what that will do for your 0-60 time.
Keep going, when you have to replace those tires $$$$$$
Those times are with rollout!
Exactly! Thats an important detail that is not stated. He prob didn't know. Oh well.
Dayum consistent
Raul P Yep, it sure is.
@@BrinkofSpeed the Consistancy is what Really matters! what good is a one time number that u can never replicate in real world conditions? youve shown u can do digs and hook it up at 2.9 like noone business...
I know this is an old video but I wanted to mention that I have a non Z-51 and the only way I can get into launch control is from Track mode. My fastest time is 2.7 secs
So this is for mag ride only , I've got 2.9 non mag ride non z51
Have you tired an 0-60 manually shifting with the paddles ?
MrMaverickz28 I haven’t tried that yet. What I do know though is, we can’t shift as fast as that performance mode is shifting.
Brink of Speed give it a try you never know you be able to lay down more lower end trq (in theory) it would make a great video as well 😉
TFL did it in 2.8 second with the base model. Its quicker then GM claims. Awesome 👍👍👍
Is this hard on the transmission?
I wanna see which is faster in the quarter mile a 2019 ZR1 Corvette vs. the new 2020 C8 Mid-Engine Corvette?
This car is insane on performance.
Thiosemicarbizide Benzoyl Alcohol It sure is!
It’s made to spin the tires cuz the wheels spin and it launches when it regains grip
Yes I put my deposit on my 2021 today
These modes are only available on the Z51 package.
You didn't get that round mouth from eating square meals!
Using the car provided data? Just curious if anyone has verified the accuracy. Not you per se, but anyone.
a guy did 0.60 in 2.6s with 2 people, sport mode, dry and no fuel in tank lol, those setting you did are for a new grippy road and better tires xD
Has anyone done this with z06 ??
Mike, that was a nicely produced video. So nice in fact I think you helped me figure out how the C8 is posting these mid to high 2 sec runs to 60 on the pdr and dash timer?
Did you notice how your first run or two at 3.1 and 3.0 (using a 1ft rollout which we knew from Dragy results) all of a sudden drops down to 2.8? You find that a but odd? I do. Here's what I suggest may be occurring.
The 2-3 shift which occurs in the mid 50s may be chirping that drive tire and causing the timer to trip yet it's still .2 or so away from ACTUALLY hitting 60mph...
There was a guy on Instagram with a 2.5 and 2.6 on a cold night... see.. the car is shifitng so hard its Spinning that tire just enough to throw it off.
That's why the Dragys are showing much slower runs.
How about picking up a Dragy and doing a video with that on v the pdr and dash timer?
I would love to see that to prove or disprove my theory..
Thanks again for the great content.. looks like a lot of work. Your superimposing the speedo has finally solved this mystery to me.
Charlie Jones WOW, this is an interesting theory. I never felt the car have tire spin from 2nd to 3rd, only sometimes from 1st to 2nd. I’ll have to do that one of these days and test it out for sure. Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it. 😊

Watch that video. Look at the 0 to 60 time and 0 to 100..
2.70 is 7.20
2.94 is SAME.. I surmise only way possible is 60 timer is tripped accidentally by a slipping tire from violent 2-3 shift.
@@BrinkofSpeed for a car to drop .2 .3 like that and revert back (inconsistent) when tire slip is so so similar and the conditions (10x in a row etc) something is up. Car is NA. Boosted car? I could see it. Not this car. It should be ripping same or within. 1 .2 MAX but watching them go from low 3 to mid 2's caught my attention. Get that dragy and compare please. Compare those 2.8 runs vs the dragy. Tire slip wouldn't matter to dragy. Bet that car is consistent 3.0 ish on nose. Not 2.6 2.7.
A friend just bought an Audi e tron GT RS ... 643hp, 830Nm of torque, $US 143,000 - crazy 3.0 secs to 62mph but this little Vette is probably faster.
I heard Matt Maran at 04:58 lol.
Neck Bone lol, what do you mean?
@@BrinkofSpeed Matt Maran that does the car reviews. He calls himself the Subaru WRX guy or something along those lines. He always squill when he goes fast in very fast cars. look him up on TH-cam. He will make you laugh.
Let me know what you thing after watching him drive fast cars.
Neck Bone Yeah, I know who he is, I just didn’t know what you were referring to. 😂
Neck Bone Yeah, he does get excited like me! 😊
I wonder if anyone knows that when hacking the computer that GM has the new C8 remotely updating? They may be able to reset any hacks
I wonder if anyone ever cracked into the 10s with a bone stock C8. Put revvin Evan Smith behind the wheel and he might land that car in the 10s
I followed all the steps and I can't activate launch control.
check the manual. Also I heard you have to push on the brake hard, like you are panic stopping, nail the gas hard, wait for it to stabilize at 3500, and then slip your foot off brake. Wheel has to be straight as well. All in the manual.
I love how you super impose your footage Of the dashboard and the outside from the digg. 2.8 seconds? OMG. The real deal
Yeah, I thought it was a cool idea and figured it was something different to do.
The PDR is deceiving because it measures wheel speed so all runs with even the least bit of wheel spin will be measured as being faster.If you want accurate data get yourself a Dragy it is dead on to the tenth of a second with the drag strip
Car of this video is a Z06?
No, it’s a 2020 Stingray.
I live in Utah and can only get a 3.5 time
You didn’t say how to change it to wet dry sport 1 & 2 and race that’s the one I need to know thanks very informative tho
You don’t want the car to squat. That’s old school drag racing way of thinking. In 2020 You want the tires to plant into the ground but you actually want the body to come up and separate from the back tire.
0-60 times: Was this before or after your new transmission was installed?
I'm coming after you with my 2017 ZO6 for a 0-150 race, forget that 0-60!
Cindy Keselowski Lol, we already know you will win that race and I’m totally fine with that. You have an amazing car for sure. There has never been a question of whether the Z06 could be the new C8 in a high speed race.
OK I will let you concede that one to me, probably would save us a big fine too. I plan on keeping my black rose beauty with the old school chrome trims! I must admit, the C8 makes my C7 look dated. Who woulda thunk it?!
You need to let the car shift itself. Paddles will not/do not (proven), make any vehicle quicker. Its just a sporty way of driving. Launch control also in many vehicles, does not yield the quickest times either. Both proven by the pros.
Mike got the notification but had to unsubscribe and hit the bell again!
La Swamp Ape So crazy, I’m not sure why TH-cam doesn’t notify everyone correctly.
You need to make a C8 stingray corvette that can do 238 miles an hour just like the last 2020 stingray corvette C7 it need to be able to do 280 miles an hour
LMAO
If you take off in 2nd gear you will hold the wheel spin down and turn times in 2.7 and 2.6 !! Just saying
Trevon Adams i guess I’m just guessing,my 17 zo6 is modified and I had trouble with wheel spin so I left in 2nd great and turned a better 60ft time I just assumed the c8 would do the same thing!
how do you take off in 2nd gear when it's an auto tranny? LOL when a car takes off it is always in 1st gear LOL wtf?
Ya never should of dumped your ZO6 dude! Seriously bad move.
skip all the bullshit and go to 4:51
Practice, practice, practice lol you can get 2.7. I know it!!
LS DEMON I sure will, maybe even faster 😉
❤❤
Chevy dude get his c8 under 2.7 check his video
