I'd find this all far more interesting if it involved laptimes and not bs robot straight racing.
Why do you have to be nasty? Some of us happen to enjoy Drag Racing... Don't knock it until you try it, it does require skill weather or not you think so! And it's fun too.
I wasnt questioning which is faster in a stock forum, the Z06 would win hands down. MY questions is with headers and E85, I believe I should be able to outrun a STOCK Z06.
I tried to start a fun convo. Some understand, some don't.
C6 Z06 is AMAZING to everyone who has recently joined. My tests, and my questions are around trying to figure out what mods it takes to have C6 Z06 speed in the C7 stingray. As of now based on my findings, it would take about $2,000 in mods (intake, headers, E85/Flex fuel).
On paper, it seems these are the mods it would take to get there; however, this is on paper, would love a chance to run a stock Z06 here locally. If i do find one, I will share those findings (like always). I like to show proof and facts.... kinda my thing
I like roll racing and drag racing, but respect all types of racing

I've enjoyed debating these stats.. Too bad some have to rain on our parade. I think if you can't add some positive feedback, or an argument to this particular thread stay out of it. Sorry to you the op for it derailing. I still hope you find a stock Z-06 to test your mods against, I know I'm interested.

I can tell you from experience that from a roll a stock z06 will freight train a stock z51 c7, and headers+tune isn't going to make much difference. I raced the same z0 again after going sc making 550rwhp and while I won, it was alot closer than one might guess. Starting from 50-60mph combined with 300+ lbs and better gearing goes a long way in the z06's favor.
Lt1 E85 I understand why you started this thread and I understand
No one is arguing stick to stock fellas, lt1 e85 is just purely showing what on average it takes to take down a c6 z06 in his opinion (which is correct I may add)
My C7 weighs a little less than 3300lbs currently and is slightly modded more than the original posters. I'll be honest I'm not even worried about the c6 z06. Buddy just ran 10.85 at 128 in his A8 c7 z06 stock and I think my car is faster/quicker than his

I'm sooooooo glad you came into this conversation... Kinda proves what I've been saying. The C6 Z-06 is the real deal. I'm not taking anything away from our beloved C7's, but never discount large cubic inch hot rods that are as light as air.

I remember getting my *** handed to me by plenty of 225 hp Fox body Mustangs back in the 90s when I had my mid 80s Z28 with 150 HP....hard to believe a camry today is faster than those foxes!

The day is not far that we look back on the C6Z like we look back on the C5Z today....."I still feel something for you, but I can't be with you anymore."
I don't need to google anything. I've owned both cars, I know which is faster in stock form.
Me too... 2008 Z06 then and 2015 C7 now.
Not saying the C6 Z06 is inferior... Just saying that it would not blow the doors off a C7. I've seen higher than average numbers for both cars which were in good air on a perfect track/day.
Not trying to stir a debate - So, edge clearly goes to C6 Z06.
But I'd street race one anytime for fun with little fear of being too embarrassed.

I go to a small Vette get together every Wednesday at a place over close to my house. There's a guy there who has an 02 Z-06 with heads, cam, headers... Sounds amazing!!! Makes like 450ish rwhp!
