My stock Z06 went 12.23@113 last night with 600 miles on the clock.I know its not a regular C-5 but it can be used for a reference.Your 1/8 times are 4/10ths and 6.5 mph slower than the slip I have.Find a stock vette to run and see what happens.

Generally when anyone says "you'd walk it" you would consider that being a race where one person effortlessly "walked" right past the other one. I'm sorry but a lightly modded camaro will not effortlessly "walk" past a corvette. It WILL be a struggle, and will probably end with a one-two car lead, max.

The Camaro has headers, catback, and a filter. The Vette has a 2-500lb weight advantage (and it may not be stock). From a roll if the Vette was a 6spd with a good driver I'd say it would be very close. From a dig I'd give it to the Camaro.

stock C5 time
I ran a 12.98 109 mph in a 2001 6mt vette coup at bowling green in late april. Made a dozen passes the rest were 13.0's. Real hard to hook up with the $hit goodyear run flats that come on those cars. Ran a 12.58 in a 2001 Z06 at the same track on the same day. Both cars bone stock 1/2 tank of gas. I work at a Chevy dealer that sells a bunch of vettes. Go to a lot of vette shows and stuff like that. A F body with a few mods will beat a stock vette.
