Based on the list from Corvetteforum, it appears that the quickest bone stock time is 12.23 at 115.58 mph, for a 2006 Z51 with manual trans.

Quickest automatic is 12.48 at 112.11 (by member LS1LT1, who is on here too) I do believe that he'll better this time by at least another tenth, maybe even two tenths, when he runs it again in cool fall weather with more break in mileage (engine was still very fresh when he ran the 12.48)

Yeah I know Marc, but I wasn't sure about the fastest M6, thanks.

Anyone wish to venture an opinion on why the quarter mile record for C6 Z51 M12 (12.23) is .45 seconds slower than for a 02+ C5Z06 (11.78)?

Are you referring to your old friend torque management? I wonder when the C5Z record was set too...i.e. how much seat time did it take to get that number and was it more than the time the C6 has been out?

Also, different tracks..different conditions? Think the stock C5Z tires (non-runflats) are worth a tenth over the C6 runflats?

That's a lot of venturing .

Driver, weight, and weather conditions play a small role .

Maybe the C5 Z06 caught a whiff of someone's purge?
