I had a bolt-on 03 z06 that made 385whp and I now have a c6z with a cai and a borla stinger catback. I agree with Gary2004z06 that a bolt-on c5z on a tire can hang with a stock c6z on a tire in the 1/4 ONLY. The reason is simple, the c6z is much softer coming out of the hole vs the c5z. It doesn't really even hit it's tq band until almost 20mph. The short gearing in the c5z trans is why times between a bolt-on c5z and stock c6z are or can be similar. From a roll, a c5z wilth bolt-on's or will not have a chance with equal drivers.
