Supposedly a C5 coupe is faster(top speed) than a C5 Z06 because of aerodynamics but the Z06 is quicker.
Now between a C5 Z06 and a stock C6 it would be close. Probably come down to the driver

I would agree that the driver might just make all the difference but I'd stick with the C5 Z06.

I guess your right... Pointless thread then... Sorry. It'll just have to be settled on the black- top someday.

I believe there was an article floating around where Dave Hill said the C5 Z was still a hair quicker

I saw the video... The Z06 won every time. They even switch drivers and the Z still won. The only time the Z lost was when it was left with the Traction Control ON. I'll try to find that website and post it. It was a racing streaming video site.
