C5's are rated at 350hp and the C6 at 400. I don't have an auto to be able to comment on. But with 50 more hp, it should walk away pretty steadily.

My stock c5 ran a 13.5 @ 105 with a 2.1 60ft... hope that helps.

Not a lot at all, stock for stock. Though C6's got rated at 50-55 more HP than the C5's, the C5's aren't burdened and held back by Torque Management in the tuning like the C6 is.

Tune the C6, and the difference becomes a lot more noticeable.

Not a whole lot? The poster above claims he trapped 105 in his C5. That would be about 6-7mph slower in the quarter. That is substancial.
