If you remove enough weight, a stock Fbody can beat a Z06. I have 423 RWHP and would get eaten alive by a new Z06. Even stripped Fbodies that have 430 at the wheels in an unlocked A4 barely hit ~130 in the traps. Being reasonable about the setup, this isn't even a question. This was the easiest pool I've ever voted on.

Aw crap I accidentally voted for the Camaro. Misread, thought it was between the Camaro and a LS2 C6.


Which brings up that question, LS2 C6 vs. 400RWHP F-body. Thoughts? I would think the F-body

blah blah blah... it would be a good race, the f-body would have to have dr though the 505 is at the flywheel. I go to the track a lot and have seen lots of full interiored f- bodys puting down 400 runing low 12 high 11's and thats what a new c-6 Z06 does.

I didn't vote.

A 400rwhp F-body could beat a C6 Z06. There are a lot of missing variables, as others have noted.

An all out setup in an F-body would be needed. The vast majority of 400 rwhp F-bodies wouldn't stand a chance unless the C6 driver sucked.

Exactly. There are 400rwhp f-bodies that run 12's, 11's, 10's, and 9's.

Weight reduction, transmission, drag radials, gearing, stall, converter, etc etc?

If the f-bod is stock weight and manual, then hell yes, the C6 Z06 will destroy it.

I can't believe this is a debate!

The question says stock Z06 C6 versus 400 rwhp f-body. It mentions nothing about modding any of the two out. Based on the "question" the answer is straight foward. Too many people subjectively adding to a question that is already clear.

As Carlos Mencia would say: Deet da dee!

And what STOCK F-body makes 400rwhp??

The question is not clear, and listing "400rwhp F-body" implies that it has been modded.

there is just too many unanswerd questions about what kind of mods the f-body has? 400rwhp means nothing, we really need a list of the mods to make a rational guess, even then its just a guess.

Basically the deal is 400 rwhp, but that includes a completely gutted fbody (no seats, interior, etc), huge stall, built tranny, built rear, drag radials, etc versus a stock c6 z06 on street tires at a 1/4 mile strip...so its a gutted tin can with 400 rwhp set up for the track versus a stock c6 z06 (stock down to the tires). Doesnt make sense to me to compare the two but hey it isnt my thread...

yes tons of cam only cars on the record list with 400 rwhp...there are a couple of bolt on guys (stock internals) that have hit mid to low 11's...400 rwhp with the right setup (suspension, rear, tranny, gutted) can hit 10's in an fbody...its not easy to do but it can be done.

The question "stated" the F-Body has 400 rwhp; that is a fact, not an implication. Your drawing abstract false conclusions based on a clear premise.

If the question said the Z06 had 600 rwhp would then start adding the laundry list of mods to the vette?...because that is essentially what you did.

I don't follow your thinking.
