You stand a chance in a straight line at the dragstrip if you are setup properly anything else the C6 doesn't even need the s/c

my GUESS is that the c6 will trounce the c3.
The technology of getting the horsepower to the ground is so much better today combined with a lot less power being robbed to get it there just makes for a tough combo to compete with.

Head over to Digital Corvettes those brain surgeons will answer your question. They already have a post in progress.
That is about a stupid question. Use a little brain power of your own.

Better upgrade the half shafts in that C3 with that much power! You are also going to need a alot more power out of that C3 to compensate for the much heavier curb wt.

C6 curb weight is about 3200-3300lbs my C3 weighs less than 3200lbs and I have not done much lightening. Not much difference in weight. Like I said anything but a straight line the C6 is going to win however in a straight line it wouldn't be all that difficult to beat a s/c C6. 
Oh how we love to underestimate our lowly C3's
