A stall converter, tires, and nitrous will do the trick. If you don't want to go the nitrous route, you're going to need all the bolt-ons.

Not necessarily. I sprayed a 100shot and it only put me a 12.2 @ 117mph. That's still within stock Z06 range.

With an automatic, your best bet would be from a dig with most, if not all, bolt ons, sticky tires, and a big stall

I edged one out at the track one day, and I have most bolt ons, a cam, and some drag radials, M6. So no you don't NEED juice to do it, but that would insure it...unless he's got his own secrets

If the '03 was a Z06 I would beleive it. I don't beleive that a bone stock C5 will run 12.3

Headers, Exhaust, Lid, 3500-3800 stall, Lower Control arms, tune, and with a Hot Cam, you should be looking at high 11s. Get a nice set of heads, subframe connectors, torque arm, and a rear sway bar, and your at the low low 11s. Maybe high 10s, if now then spray. Also, a set of nice and sticky tires is needed, and the added insurence of a stronger rear end might be in need, otherwise good luck. They are not that hard to beat.

Line up, have your girfriend (or pay some chick) to flash her **** at the driver then take off.
Hopefully the driver is a guy or at least a girl who is impressed with big ****.
You should take 'em buy a car or two.

"Ya, it's got a 3500 stall cam and a 224/224 converter on a 114LSA."

Raisin' the flag.... No way a stock C5 got there. Also, you make it seem like all Z06's run 11's. Few can reach that stock, it takes a great driver, a perfect run, and a strong car.
