GarageCalc Where 2.9 s sits
At 2.9 s the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C8) is exotic level (under 3.0 s). 10 of the 70 vehicles in the database are quicker and 56 are slower, so it beats 80% of the field.

The dataset does not retain a source URL or rollout method for every entry. Treat the 2.9 s figure as a reference, and verify a matching model year, trim and test method before making a close comparison. To estimate quarter-mile elapsed time and trap speed from power and weight, use the quarter mile calculator; and before fitting bigger wheels, check the tire size comparison, because a larger tire diameter lengthens the effective gearing and blunts the launch.
