Power and suspension-wise?
A good H/C/I combo will easily make the same or better peak HP as a stock LS7, but to match the torque curve will require cubic inches or forced induction.
IMO a good set of coil overs and a proper set of wheels and tires will make the C5 out handle the C6Z for the most part.

A good cam, full exhaust and a good tune... With your heads ported and a FAST intake you should kill one no problem... A good H/C/I setup with tune should be upper 400RWHP....

Well something is very wrong with your car then... Dont get me wrong the C6Z is a good car but they weigh more then the C5Z and make around 440 RWHP with similar gearing... A good H/C/I and im not talking a slap job setup will put you in the 480 RWHP range and I have seen a few a **** hair over 500 RWHP, That with a car that already weighs 3050lbs is pretty ******* deadly... Solid 10 second car all day....

c6zs will put out ~500 rwhp with headers / cai / tune. It will take a very very strong H/C/I c5z to do so.
Crate motor LS7 is 13.5k, you can probably have a nice ~575rwhp 440ci built for ~$10k.

I'm just curious about it. I've been considering buying either a C5Z or a C6 base but I want something I've got more potential with than my Fbody. I knew the C5 was lighter but still had the same 5.7 bottom end. I was just curious as to whether the weight difference Fbody to Vette was enough to let a 5.7 car run as good as the LS7. I've been leaning more toward a LS3 C6 lately mainly because I see cam only cars are making almost 500rwhp.

If we are talking strickly drag racing and a completely bonestock C6Z with DRs only, a full bolt-on C5Z would be able to keep up with that C6Z. With that stated, a good H/C package would be a much better choice for the mission.

Very strong running LS2.
