Probably driving or track conditions is the main issues there. Those are pretty low since C5 M6s trap about that much.

well we were at the same track the same day, this was before my V-ram,LTs, T-stat,Tune etc. my car was trapping 108-109 and his c6 z51 6spd was doing 108-109 also. then he let me drive it down the track and still 108-109 traps. i couldn't not feel the 50hp difference between the LS1 and the LS2. but what was noticeable was the better throttle response and better low-mid range torque. also i usually go to 2 different tracks, the one in houston and the one in san antonio and on avg, the avg mph by the hadnful of c6s i've seen run are trapping between 108-111.

Well, with the mods you have I guess It makes sence that you would trap about the same as a C6. Now, was this C6 an Auto? Was this a hot/humid day or do you guys live in a high altitude location?
