I will second that. Can you drive? A stock auto 04 vette should run a low 13 sec 1/4.

IMHO I think it will be a drivers race and will depend if from a dig/roll and if a roll from 30 mph or 80 mph - all these will cause different variables.

I would do a slow roll upto 100 mph.

Slowhawk ran a 12.4 in the 1/4 with a stock 03 vette M6. I will say it is a drivers race. The vette weigh's less, and is more aerodynamic. You should have more HP, and the M6 will give you an edge if you are a good driver. Vette also has larger stock tires on the back. Larger contact patch= better hook up off the line=better 60'.

An '04 auto C5 should run low 13s bone stock in descent air. Add a mild TQ converter and you're looking at mid 12s though.
