Am I the quickest stock tire C6 (non-Z06) in the country? Just wondering, I saw one listed elsewhere with a slightly higher speed than I made in the 1/4 mile (125.06), but have yet to see one quicker on the E.T. (11.41 ) Does anyone know if there is a quicker/lower ET for a stock tire ( Goodyear run flats that came on the car) C6 corvette than 11.41?

no....he's a Z06, I'm talking C6(LS2) . On stock tires, am I the quickest ? I have mods, of course, but most have gotten DRs or slicks by this point ot get the kind of times I have.

Well you may want to mention you are running a non-Z06 in the title (edited), otherwise as far as I know a C6 is the bodystyle of Corvette (C4, C5 etc) and I didn't know a Z06 wouldn't be called a C6.
Either way, nice times.

im sure there are plenty of modded c6's that could throw on a stock tire and run faster than that. thats a really weird comparison to try to do since youre not stock anymore.

[/COLOR] not saying if theycould do it, I'm saying have they done it? I could throw on some slicks and possibly be in the 10's, but I haven't , so it's just talk. Not alot of folks can pull a 1.8 60ft on cold runflat tires( I think the best I've seen is a high 1.7), and more HP makes it alot harder to hook, you know that if you drag race.

Yeah...that's a really unusual goal/accomplishment. Most do tires right away simply for the safety aspect. Loss of traction at that power level/speed is bad news.
Hell, I almost put my Lightning into the wall 3-4 years ago during the 2-3 shift (with stock tires)...and it was only a mid 12's @ 108 truck. I parked it after that. Never again on stock 18's. LOL
Good luck with your endeavors.
