Default Stock Stingray vs stock LS3?

Is it a pretty close race since the c6 is lighter? Or would it take headers, intake and tune to keep up?

Not close unless .4 to 1/2 second is close, been and done. MPH is .5 to 1.5.

Comparing Stock as it came from the factory the C7 is faster. The C6 LS3 with a very good driver will run 11.9 - 12.0 quarter mile times in the best conditions.

Forum member Snorman had his A6 Stingray against another forum members A6 C6. Results were .7/.8 and 3/4 mph in favor of the Stingray. Same day same track.

Well GM isn't going to have a the base c7 be slower than the base c6.
