I'd like to know how the 8 speed auto would have faired in this. It has already shown to be faster in the 1/4 mile than the 7 speed manual. The Porsche 918 Spyder that holds the record uses a dual clutch paddle shifting 7 speed, and I'd venture a guess that the rest of the supercar field used some sort of similar transmission. Level the playing field by giving the Vette the quicker shifting 8 speed auto and I'd say that 2:43.1 that the 918 Spyder put down last year might be in jeopardy.
