It's not like a Corvette auto with 50/50 weight bias is hard to launch.
The list of low 13 or quicker stock car is actually a fairly short list.

If anyone is running low 13's in a C6, regardless of the transmission, something is wrong with the track, the driver, or (hopefully not the case) the car. Wait, what is the DA where they were running 13's? I just thought about that....

Curb weight of the 02 zo6 is 3118 from what i found, the 04 zo6's are actually about 10lbs lighter due to the fact that they went to a carbon fiber hood. The c6 coupe weighs 3179, convertible weighs 3199.

What does p/u mean? Because unless its poorly driven or something there is no way a stock C6 will take a stock new SRT-10 Viper. That would be drivers loss. The Cobra is the same way. I believe a stock C6 can take them, but don't know for sure. The quarter mile is similar between the two. A older Z06, pre the new badass Z06. I believe would be drivers as well, but my bets on the old Z06.
Question is, what can't the new Z06 beat?
EDIT: BOY I'm dumb, you mean pick-up don't you? Ok sorry about that.

The Z06 in my sig weighed in at 3060 with 1/4 tank of gas. There are video's of C6's losing to Z06's on numerous vette sites. I have yet to see any C6's beat any Z06's. I have also not heard of any C6's running in the 11's stock like the Z06 has.
ok you all concentrating way to much on peak power, have you guys seen engine dynoes of the ls2 and the ls6 next to each other the ls2 has like crazy more power under the curve. You cant compare a stick z06 to an auto c6 it has to be stick with stick, auto to auto, then it would be a pretty close race that would go to the better driver.
My truck...
yea yea yea I know
Ok ok, well its true. I lost. But it wasnt what I expected! My truck is DIGGING this cold weather. caught up to him on 51n. Took forever for him to get the idea that a truck wanted to race him. We were goin around 85 so I had to persuede him down to 70 so I could get a good 2nd gear jump. He downshifted as well (he had exhaust) quite loud. He allowed me to take the jump but he had a quick reaction to it. Held him at my side to just a touch over 100, maybe 105...then by 130 he had 2-3 cars on me. We got off, bs'd...and he took me for a ride. Very nice car. Clean power throughout...much more refined than a c5. Very comfortable. Only more comfortable domestic seat is in the 05 ls2 GTO. You gotta sit in those! Said he pulled off a 12.80 so far in it shifting kinda easy. Did a few hot laps around the block then back to my truck. He made me follow him to a lil spot and we lined up for a dig. Luckily I hooked...but so did he. ****. I was at the back of his door at 60 (which impressed me), and by 110 he had me by 3 cars. He was very impressed as was I.
Ok, I need to buy one.

PS: dont mind the file name...he thought it was the new z06 but i pointed out to him that it wasnt...also the vette gets a nasty jump because on 17psi the GT35r isnt efficent and it lags like a mother!

A Z06 outruns the C6,m but not by much.
The only cars that can beat the C6 out of the box are (Or cars that are worth mentioning):
C5 Z06
GT2
GT3
996 TT
Gen II + III Viper
And all of ur exotics
Lotus Espirit (Close race)
