You should make a list of stock weight stock engine c5z's that trap 126. He'll even cam only ones. Should be a giant list, need moar bandwidth.

Not my problem what others can out can't do. ....... I'm telling you what can be done. Solid full bolt on cammed ones should go well over 130. If my bolt on ls6 camaro can go over 130 No reason a ls6 vette shouldn't at least get close

It's comical sometimes. Not saying it can't be done but not everyone has a $3,000 super light weight clutch with a face plated transmission and a race weight 500lbs lighter than stock. That stuff is probably worth a couple mph don't ya think?

Atco then?

I mean...stock C6Z's trap low 120's and they make 440ish with a better curve. Whatever you're doing is working that's for sure...if its really a cam only stock weight car its one of the fastest I've heard of.

His car def runs good for cam and bolt-ons, but bolt-on only c5 z06's have went 126 in the 1/4 mile. Some cars just run really good. Also did we see how big of a cam it is? I hope to trap around 122 cam only...

Mine runs consistently at 128 mph, it has hit 129 once or twice :bang:

Exaggerate much?

The clutch is no where near that. No more than some spend a any other aftermarket clutch. 500lb lighter.....I wish......faceplated t56.....dunno what it's worth. Depends on how you use it. In the end a c5Z06 is the better car and has more potential.

I'm really not trying to be a dick here. Just trying to point out facts. But you can't argue your clutch/face plated trans arent worth a notable amount. Its like wondering why every bolt on car doesn't run 10.8-11.0 like they do in Factory stock class that make 380whp. Weight is a big part of it as well as drivetrain like a light weight clutch and faceplated trans.
