Default Will a 400rwhp f-body beat a stock C6 Z06?

In the quarter-mile, given equal driving ability, will a 400rwhp f-body beat a stock C6 Z06?

This guy thinks so...

Street tire vs. street tire? Probably not.

STREET race 1/4 mile? Probably not.

Teh C6 would have to have incredible traction problems, and the driver suck. 400+ lb weight advantage and 60-70 more RW is a pretty big gap.

a 400 rwhp f-body could beat a stock C5 Z06, but no way against a c6 z06. I held my own against my good friends C6, which is about the equivalent of a C5 Z06, and I make approx. 375 rwhp, but I have some weight reduction done to my camaro. He must mean a C5 Z06, or otherwise the guys an idiot.

Over-rated? Compared to what? I own an fbody and having been in a C6 Z06 there is no comparison. The ride quality, interior, styling, handeling, and performance arent even in the same universe as an f-body. Now if we are talking bang for the buck to make the fastest car possible then obviously you can pick up an fbody for cheap, mod the **** out of it, and make it faster than the vette, but your still suck with an f-body...I love my camaro but seriously the vette is in another league.

It's about 460+/- at the wheels, in a 3150lb. package. Over-rated? Hardly. A $500 hooker would be over-rated...A new ZO6 would fly by a 400hp F-body like he was tied to a pole!

I had this long logical reply to this statement, but I deleted it to say.

YOUR AN IDIOT! Have a nice day.

doesn't change the fact that a c6z06 will go YARD on any 400rwhp f-body.

this sounds like the old LT1 vs LS1 threads.

So a stock c6 Z06 will run 7.1x range in the 1/8th then right. It would have to do that or better to outrun a 400rwhp a4 f body from my experience

The only place a 400rwhp f-body stands a chance is at the strip with a completely dialed in suspension, and even then some luck is going to be required. On the street it is going to get murdered.
