Default Fastest Ls3 C6???

What are the fastest times seen so far in any LS3 C6 that are bone stock. Modded numbers welcome too, but I'm trying to solve an arguement on how fast these cars are. I'm thinking they are some where in the high 11's to low 12's.

I'm thinking that might have been a LS2 car. The LS3 cars put down around 390 rwhp as well and I know they are a good deal lighter then a TA.

My friend has one and completely stock he ran a 12.30 at the dragstrip I work at (Numidia Dragway). He then ran it at Atco Raceway and got into the 11s due to the altitude change. He put headers on it and ZO6 catback with a custom tune and he is now well into the 11s at Numidia.

Most of the faster stock LS3s are still in the low 12s with andrewzpsu's black manual 2008 listed as hitting an 11.7 among some controversy, though I was there that day, it certainly appeared legit.

The quickest stock LS2 C6 on record (my car ) is a 12.2@115+.

Oh, it is the same guy.
It's just that you through me off with the mention of Numidia (I didn't know he ever ran out there) and you also forgot to mention Englishtown where he actually ran that 11.7 (I was there that day).

Well the controversy was surrounding the tuning and whether he had it in there during his 'bone stock' passes or not...tuning isn't exactly something you can see and be able to truly claim as legit unless of course you actually live inside of his PCM.

I remember a little bit of taht contraversy about Andrew's car, and looking at the times w/o even hearing anything it just seems odd how he ran with a 2600 DA (not great by any means) yet he is damn near half a second quicker than the 2nd guy on the list. He traps at 120, the guy 2nd on the list traps at 116.5, seems the average ls3 traps around 115ish.

If other people had come close to his run, and he wouldn't have screwed around in the PCM, then there wouldn't be much doubt. I just dont think that after the cars have been out a year, that no one would be able to come within almost half of a second of his time, especially when he ran with a 2500 DA. Seems that some east coast guys with some mineshaft air would be able to a little closer/better/whatever.

I'm sure people were bitching about the first C5Z in the elevens. However when quite a few other people do it, and GMHTP mag takes on, and on the 2nd run ever cracks off a 11.9, it certainly seems legit.

We'll see what happens this fall when the temps start dropping I guess...

You have to admit, somthing seems a little fishy.

Here's a video of my best runs so far.

I've gone 11.54 at just shy of 123 MPH, and 11.47 at 121.93 MPH.

I've got all the bolt ons, and 373 diff.

the car is tuned on a 91/Torco mix, and makes 450+ RWHP.

Nitrous is why you goof.

My 11.7 run was on the stock tune, stock tires, stock everythign. My car also has no options. I pulled a really good 60', the air was cold, and I shifted extremely quick. In the video posted above you can actually hear me chirp 4th (I think).

Right now I'm running with Kooks 1-7/8 Headers, Catless Mids, Z06 Exhaust, my tune, and BFG KDW2s. I'm waiting for the weather to get cool before bringing her to the track again, should be soon. My tune is designed to pull timing in the summer, but also to add timing in the winter... and as it dips into the 60* temps the car is really picking up power. I'm looking for a low 11 second pass on street tires. High 10s on drag radials.... we'll see what happens lol

I have a 2001 TA w/ a mild 395 stroker that ran @ Penwell last night. It ran a 11.95 @ 115 with a 1.88 60'. My 2008 A-6 Vette w/ a Vararam and a tune will outrun this car everytime!
The TA was a friend car that I just bought from him and I am sure with a better 60' it would have run much better but we have lined them up 3 times and my Vette is hands down faster!
For those who dont know Penwell the DA ussually runs 5000'. I think they had better air last night but never better than a DA of 3000'.
