lol, best lookin
i haven't been outran by a stock C6...however i have pulled 2 of them....they're nothing special to me, just a new body style with a ls6 power but 100lbs heavier than a c5 z06 and a shitty intake..
Now that c6z06 is something special....

I disagree.

The C6 makes more power than the C5, has a nicer interior, much better headlights, can handle more boost in stock form, runs about a half second quicker in the 1/4, and were priced at a lower MSRP than the C5 was. They are a logical step forward from the C5.

I haven't raced a regular c5 yet, but I have raced two c5 z06's. One walked me and I walked the other. Both races were from 55 to 110. give or take a few mph.

if u run him from a lower roll he'll most likely put another car on u, since the automatic tranny takes forever to downshift. i kno this from personal experience i still catch them by 150 thou
