lol, a bone stock 06 Z06 is more like 445-460rwhp bone stock. Even if they weighed exactly the same, how the hell does 400rwhp=450rwhp??? That guys an idiot.

I think it would be a close race between a 400rwhp fbody with stall and gears and a decent tire vs a stock c6 z06...in a 1/4 obviously...from a roll...haha no not a chance

The Corvette is the more capable vehicle, hands down. It's lighter, more powerful, handles better, and is better built than the F-Body. Its not overrated by any means. It hangs with Ferarris, Porsches, and Lambos costing 2-3 times as much, I don't see how thats "overtated" at all.
As for my vote, no competition. A stock C6 Z06 would walk all over a 400WHP F-body. Not only does the Vette weigh ~300lbs less, but its also putting down much more than 400WHP, meaning the F-body wouldn't have a chance.

oh ****, i voted for the f-body 
i didn't see ZO6. i thought it said stock C6! everyone remove one vote from the 400rwhp f-body. not only is the vette more aerodynamic and lighter, it puts down more power than that stock.

You are right, in the quarter there are SOME that would win with those mods. From a roll it would get MURDERED BIG TIME!!!
Then if the Zo6 did weight reduction, tire, and driver mod it would most likely win the quarter.

A 400 rwhp f-bod WILL NOT WIN!!
He didn't say anything about tires or suspension or stall he said 400 rwhp. If thats the case start adding Quarter mile/ Drag parts on the C6 zo6. I.E. Tires, suspension, weight reduction etc.. You started adding parts to the f-bod to race in the quarter. He did not.
