Ls1 T/a V. C6
well guys, i happen to run into a nice stock C6(silver) it was sweet! and we went from a 25MPH roll and he waxed me by about 2 cars. his car was all stock and my mods in the sig. he showed me whos boss and i guess i have to add some longtubes and a nice TC. i felt that i held my own for sure.
that is all

Good death. Yeah the C6's are nice but the stock 1/4 mile numbers arn't all that impressive (but I still want one 
). I'm guessing before long someone with a 11 second f-bofy, mustang, ect will humble him pretty good.
Again, good death and definately get a torque converter for your car.

. Considering Z06's were good for low 12's, even high 11's, the new C6 hasn't been doing much better than ~12.7's from what I've read so far (and I mean stock, not with mods). So take an LS1 which is good for low 13's stock, add a couple mods and a good driver, you're into the high 12's ..... not really that far off a C6
. Against a Z06, it would be a whole different story
..... more like, ~12 car lengths!!!!

He also never said how long they ran for from that 25MPH rolling start, so 2 cars is not out of the question...

I've only seen one C6 run at the track here in Indianapolis and it was running low 13's with horrible traction (everything generally runs crappy because they don't prep the track for Tuesday night street legals). The Vette was an auto.

As far as a c-6 goes Id love to race...ahumm..I mean beat up on one.
