Default C5 z06 VS C6

my buddy has a C6 with headers, exhaust, intake, tune. My 02 Z06 is stock. Honestly, I think I can drive better then he can. Im used to racing, hes a little older and doesnt race a lot though. Who do you think will win?

I agree. recently at lg's dyno day I saw a bone stock '02 Z06 put down 330whp, and my bone stock C6 put down 348whp.

the C6's mods you list should put him in the neighborhood of 380-390whp.

my advice, drive it like you stole it.

I know stock z06's with vararam and tune making 385rwhp, i think it all depends on your motor. Some are freaks. Good luck, if you lose, want to sell me your car?

A race between two traction-limited cars will generally be won by the better driver.

And the C6 is heavier.

I think that it will be close, but stock vs stock, I'd give the C5 Z06 will win.

Z51 in the C6 or what? If he has CROSS drilled rotors then yes, its a Z51 which has various little upgrades, one of them being the Z06 geared trans. So...

..stock for stock, the C5 Z06 would win over a stock C6. Not by much but, it would edge him out, everytime. Given our drivers are equal.

From what I have seen on the street,...a properly driven C6 with headers/intake/catback/tune....(we made 407 rwhp and 396rwtq)...would rock a stock Z06 (c5).

I am going to vote for the Better driver. Tear him up.

I faced a C6Z06 three weeks ago at the track and smoked him. This was all due to driver. He ran a 13.3 to my 12.3, it was all driver.

From a roll,the C6 wins. It will be hard to make up the 50hp difference. From a dig the better driver wins. It is all about the 60'.

Flat/powershifting helps.

I bet it goes to the C6. Headers, exhaust, intake, & tune. I mean if it is a real tune for the car with the mods it has and not just a hypertech job then the sucker must run really well.

Regardless though it will definately be a fun run to watch.
