Questions

Is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray or the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345 faster?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.43 s to the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345's 13.19 s, a margin of 1.77 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s against 5.03 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray reaches 60 mph in 3.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.43 s at 121.0 mph.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345 reaches 60 mph in 5.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.19 s at 114.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray trips the lights at 121.0 mph and the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345 at 114.2 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 11 for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and 2 of 2 for the Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe 5.7 V8 345. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
