01 Z28 vs C5 Driving home going down I85 I see a black C5. Speed up just to get a good look not trying to race my car is still stock. But any way I pull up the guy tears off about 10 cars up and signals me up to the lane next to him. Tells me slow down to 55mph and lets go till 150mph im like ok. We slow down he flips his hand telling me to go like he is really going to kick my ***. So i shift into 3rd and gun it he taks off at about the same time i did i got about a half a car on him. After that about every 25 mph i was pulling a car to a car and a half. I killed this thing bad i know it was a auto C5 i have a M6 but whats the deal. camaro corvette the vette should out run my car stock for stock. But on the up and up. I was happy as hell my stock Z28 just busted the **** out of a C5. Never thought it was going to happen.

I know for a fact a 2002 LS1 Corvette ran a 12.5, compared to the Fbody's claimed 12.8
For some reason IMO the fastest corvette will always outrun the fastest camaro.
Stock for stock, year fir year.
Anyways, nice race.
