Car & Driver review of Sierra 6.2 4x4

chevyguy45 · March 20, 2014

Car driver just posted a review of a 2014 silverado crewcab with 6.2. "But when you have this much grunt under your right foot, it’s all too tempting to lay the hammer down, at which point the near-three-ton Silverado will bludgeon its way from 0 to 60 mph in a startling 5.4 seconds. That sprint was undoubtedly enhanced by the 3.42:1 rear end" Heres the chart Zero to 60 mph: 5.4 sec

Zero to 100 mph: 14.5 sec

Zero to 110 mph: 18.5 sec

Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.9 sec

Top gear, 30-50 mph: 3.1 sec

Top gear, 50-70 mph: 3.9 sec

Standing ¼-mile: 14.1 sec @ 99 mph

Top speed (governor limited): 110 mph

Braking, 70-0 mph: 181 ft. Im highly impressed

impressive. How can 5-60 be slower than 0-60?

MikeNH · March 20, 2014

Because it may not be in 1st gear.

ChrisNJ · March 20, 2014

yup, that would do it.

They'd have to put it in manual-1st, then 5-60 should be a little better.

That would defeat the point of measuring a rolling start.

damn! 5.6 seconds 0-60! that's sports car territory.

Deduct 500lb's and add 3.73 gears... Big Bertha is gonna fly!! I'm so pumped up about this truck even more after reading that!

5.4 but whos counting

Mckenzie · March 20, 2014

Add a blackbear tune, intake, and exhaust and we'd really be getting somewhere

this solidified that my next truck will have the 6.2

drove mine from 7 miles to 107 on the odometer today... i come from RS6, RS4, M3, many 911s, AMG, etc. This truck is very fast...but very quiet, sounds like a turbo. Great for cabin quiet, but if you want to hear it, will need to add exhaust...performance is awesome, although shifting is a bit clunky...so glad i got the 6.2, i almost didnt because who really needs it... wonderful...can break loose rear on command....
