I rode in an '05 CTS-V with an intake, exhaust, and chip. That thing was a hoot! It would easily keep up with my ZR-1. We took it up to 160mph without any fuss. I think anything less than a ZR-1 would be toast.

With 400hp and about 3,750 lbs, you'd need ~350hp from a 3,300 lbs C4 to have the same power/weight. I think they tend to launch poorly though as they have narrow rear tires and a tendancy to wheel hop. I imagine the longer you race, the more edge the V would have.
Your question of stock 6-speed though could be an L98, LT1, LT4, or LT5 in a C4. I suspect the results will vary a fair bit depending on which stock mill is under your hood.

How many miles are on your car. I have a 93 and it has 142000 miles on it now and does pretty well.

Post your slips... 13's is about right for a ZR-1 depending on year I seem to remember 13.4 being the test time in most of the major publications in 1990.. I personally haven't seen a stock ZR-1 running 12's..

The CTSV is a lead sled it weighs almost 4,000 lbs. its at
least 600 lbs heavier than a Corvette. I raced my 1996 Corvette
LT1 auto G92 3.07 all stock against my cousins 2004 CTSV all stock
and I smoked him badly. The CTSV is a tank. Just think about this
a 2004 Z06 0-60 is 4 secs flat. A 2004 CTSV with a Z06 motor is 4.9 if you rev it like crazy and get lucky. A 1992 Corvette with a 6 speed ran a 4.9 secs 0-60 and that was 16 years ago!!!!!! The 1992 auto was 5.2 seconds.
The CTSV is way over-rated!! ITS WAY TOO HEAVY!!

No way mine wil ever see a 12 without Drag Radials....No matter how its launched it is a 13 sec car until then. We dont have the best air, but ET is ET. Has a 12 in it but its still a 13 sec car.
