I was there also. Good show. My C6 Z was there at Zip Corvettes tent. LeMans Blue with black if you say it. Anywho, I ran a best of 11.5x stock with stock tires and 11.0 @ 130 with headers, tune and DR's. At that speed it's a 10 sec car when I get a few more passes in it. Most of my 60' times were 1.90 to 2.00.

This is a stupid thread. A 400Rwhp f-body *could* beat a stock C6 Zo6 in the quarter. It all depends on the 60'. The Zo6 is going to trap much higher than the f-body. If you had a stalled f-body with nice tires, i think the f-body would win. (Assuming the Zo6 had stock tires and a 2.2 60'. Although, if the Zo6 has good tires and hooks up, lets say a 1.8 60' or so, the f-body has no chance.

No matter what conditions, with only 400Rwhp, the Zo6 will 0wn an f-body with a 1.8 60'...(unless of course he misses every gear after that, lol)

The bottom line, is that the Zo6 would need poor traction and the f-body superior traction. From a roll, you wouldn't even be able to tell they were racing, because the Zo6 would be pulling so hard, lol.

So its pretty much been settled, NO!, a 400 rwhp F-body can't beat a stock C6 ZO6

Hell my car is lighter and has a over 70 more rwhp and 40-50 more rwtq then the F-bod being discussed and still couldn't outrun the MF'r, and I have been to 200 mph on 3 times. Maybe on a 150 to 200 topspeed race. LOL that will never happen.

What's the best time for a stock C6 Z06?

What's the best time for any F-body making 400rwhp?

Exactly.

Let me shed some light here since I have a C6 Z06.

I have raced 500-525 rwhp LS1's (A4 & M6), 470+ rwhp C5s (FRC & Z06), 520+ rwhp 350Zs, etc., etc. and I have yet to lose a race.

From a dig, my FIRST time out ever with this car, on my FIRST pass, in 85* heat with lots of wheel hop in 1st and major granny shifting, the car went 11.69@121. The trap speed was so low becasue of the heat and not shifthing into 4th, which most peopel do. In cooler conditions, without wheel hop, and speed shifthing, this is EASILY an 11.4x sec car on the stock tires in bone stock trim.

So, can a 400 rwhp LS1 beat a C6 Z06 in the 1/4? It will all depend on what the 400 rwhp has done otherwise. If it is gutted, 4.10+ gears, slicks, A4, big ol stall, suspension work, etc..then yes, it probably can and will.

jmo..

ROFLMAO. The car weighs 400-500lbs LIGHTER and has 50-75rwhp more! Trainlengths! I count them.

The car is fast as ***** off the showroom and you take it to the Nurburgring and it places in the top three in the elite company of $200,000+ exotic sports car. Wow!

It sure is a turd of a Vette.

Exactly.

CC the fastest documented time so far for a stock down to the tires c6 z06 has been made by a forum member by the name of Ranger. 11.31 @ 127.5x mph. From what I read in the posts he talks about how the torque management makes it a real bitch to launch the thing. He was sporting 1.9x 60' times. That run was even recored in Postive Elevation (DA was 300 feet IIRC),

i only see 112mph vs 127mph how do you think you would do?? You get a 400whp f-body real street car and the only thing you will beat him threw is 60ft and at around 1/8 mile mark they will fly buy bad

445whp vs 400hp even if you do have a light f-body still not lighter then the Z06

Yes you can beat one if the guy cant drive and thats the only way!!

i got a little over 400whp in a m6 car and i no i would get killed!!

This guy thinks so...

Didn't go through the entire post but....now way will the Z28 beat one. The Z06 driver would have to be a real dipshit to let it happen.


NO WAY.

Very nice. (0wned)

I don't see why people think it's so crazy that an f-body can run 11's with 400Rwhp...Just because an f-body can beat a c6 Zo6 with 400Rwhp, doesn't mean the f-body is actually a *faster* car. Like i said earlier, it depends on that 60'. It's a 1/4 mile race. It's not like they are going from a roll, or to 160mph...
