Default info on 2006 corvette

Just looking for some information/specs for a 2006 corvette. My fiance's dad is trying to set up a race he just bought this car last year and hasnt run it yet. Pretty sure I can take him... it is stock. its a 6speed auto paddle shift. and he thinks he knows how to drive... haha So does anyone know what this car runs in the 1/4? it is not the z06, I've been searching for about a half hour and all I see is 2006 zo6 information. so any info would be helpful!

Thanks guys!

It will be close.... not much talent to drive an A6 when you put it in D. If he is bone stock and you are running low 12's you should take him in the 1/4.

What's half a second difference in the 1/4 mile? nothing.

The 'Vette will hook and you'll lose. That's where my money is.

Talking

The quickest stock LS2 C6 on record just happens to be a 2006 automatic (A6) and it ran a best of 12.21@115.45.
How do I know this? Because it's my car.

What was your best time ?? What kind of trap speed did you have VS his ?? I'd assume with your cam and gearing that you would've been pulling pretty hard up top and had the race continued there would be one large GAP between you and him. Good race.

Thumbs up

Nice win, I was hoping you'd take him ...I do love my C6 but I can't stand the attitude or vibe (from any type of car owner) that this guy was giving and I will ALWAYS remain an F-body fan as well.

What elevation is the track you ran the 12.21 at? Just trying to compare times.... will be heading out to the track later this month.

It's damn near sea level, 70 feet I think. Good luck.
