The last time I checked that's what drag racing is. Do I need to MSpaint it for you?

Why would I say 400 rwhp with stock trans, stall, gears and suspension?

I mean technically yes, there are nine second cam only f bodies. But in a general context, hell no.

If your argument is that a 400 RWHP A4 F-body set up for drag racing (tires, suspension, weight reduction, etc.) can take a stock C6 Z06 (stock radials and all) in a 1/4 mile drag race, then you are absolutely correct. Of course a 1500 lb rail with a 305 would take both of them.

That's what I'm saying.

I made about 410 hp and 393 torque, and took down a 2003 zo6 with headers and a tune, six speed. Not only this but I did it on the highway where the z06 really likes to get busy.
So I say yes it could happen.

I meant c5, and now that I see your talking c6, I say "not no, but hell no". I think you have a better chance from a dig. I seen a 402 trans am race a c6 from a dig and beat the z06 by 4-5 car lengths. They did a run on the highway and the c6 left him like he was standing still.

I was at the track last week its a 1/8th mile track. got up against this guy with an new c6 zo6 and beat him but thats only because he was spinning the whole way down the track. he just got the car like 3 weeks before that. next run he let his dad drive it (who races a 4.9xx pro mod) dad kicked my butt the whole way down the track it ran a mid 7. have to give it up to the vette that is one bad machine.

I've seen a f-body do a 10 sec 250hp shot n20 with a 305 block. Once again though, built for track. If we were to say a pure prepped track car, slicks suspension etc with only a measly 400rwhp, then yeah it'd win.

Unfortunately the thread didn't mention 10k invested in suspension so I'm thinking cam/heads, mild mods trying to go against a c6 z06 with 460rwhp on avg with a suspension that puts it in the top 3 of the WORLD on the nurburgring, let alone be able to pull 11's all day on a track on street tires...

My vote to the z06 and it's pointless to keep tossing mods on the f-body in this comparison... might as well be a ricer talking about throwing a blower on his 4 banger on how he COULD get fast...

oh a vid when the 305 was pulling 11's... I'll find the 10 run somewhere..

If the fbody had DR's and the z06 had no tires just rims, the fbody would destroy it hands down.. Im serious

PS, i was at corvettes at carlisle yesterday and theres a guy there with track slips proving his stock z06 ran 11.38 and 11.2 on DR's... So, now find someone with 400rwhp that runs better than 11.38. btw, his 60's were 1.9 and 1.82 for those runs.

The show was pretty good.. The mallett guys were cool, and i talked to the VP of fidanza for a while about his sts twin turbo c6, among other things, very nice guy..
