LS6 makes more power stock for stock I believe...saw a race of C5 Z06 against a regular C6 and the C5 got a few cars on the C6...

I'd take the LS2 over the LS6 if I had to buy the motor. But, why buy a new block if you already have an LS1 or even an LT1. Build the one you have. It'll be cheaper.

Or get a 6.0 if you need a block and want more cubes. You could build it up cheaper than the other 2 options and have more cubes and power to spare.

Well both were bone stock, both auto...if they had the same gearing there isn't much of a difference there...also was from a roll.

YOu know I didn't even think of that. It was a video when the C6 first got released. If I could find it I'd link it. OH well, I'm sure I look dumb now
