The C5 Z and the C6 Z51 make damn near the same rwhp, have the same gearing, and weigh within 50lbs of each other, yet the LS2 makes more torque everywhere, so how is the C5 Z06 faster? If anything it is a drivers race, nothing more.

C5 looks better..
With that said the only way a stock c5 will beat a stock C6 is if an mn6 FRC C5 races a 2.73 geared c6 with the 4 speed auto..Then and only then will the C5 beat the c6 stock for stock

My 03 LS6 dynoed 355 stock and put down 349 torque. A friends 04 did 355/346.
C6's weigh about what a c5 coupe weighs ~3,200-3,300lbs.
My C5 Z06 weighed 3060lbs exactly.
The MN12 (C5 Z06) is geared more agressively than the standard MN6 (C5/C6) T56.
With equal drivers a C5Z will win every time.

This is true...It takes full exhaust and a CAI for the C6 to run the same numbers as a C5 Z.
And for the record....the C6 looks better hands down
