Ive already taken on a tuned Murcielago making 615hp and we were even. It was a friend of mine too so I know he knows how to drive also. 
You need to check out his signature so you can see his "stock" Vette.

That's what I said after I saw a bunch of "LS2 is faster than an LS3", but then I researched...

The good old tried and true C5Z still murders everything else, but the C6Z.

Interesting thread! Now the most important for me (I´m not dragracing);
Comparing a C5 MN6 (non Z06) and a 2005 - 2007 C6 (LS2), also with manual tranny: how much faster does the C6 FEEL?
I own the C5 for about 8 months now, and in 3 or 4 years, will a C6 LS2 really FEEL like a BIG improvement, accelerationwise?
Or do I have to upgrade to a 2008 C6, or even a 2006 or 2007 C6Z??
For clarification: I live in Germany, so I´m also (especially?) interested in the acceleration from 60 mph up...?
Cheers, Bernd

Anyways, my point merely addressed your comment about a supercharged C5 being able to beat a C6, but not a C6 Z06. I guess I should have been more clear, and simply asked why you feel a (typical) 550-600rwhp blown C5 cannot beat a 450rwhp C6 Z?

I own an 04 C5Z and an 05 C6 Z51 and the C5Z will hand the C6 its azz on the track, no ifs ands or butts about it......now the OP didnt ask which is a BETTER car just a faster car, and BTW no LS3 has run times close to the LS6 thus far.

, So this give me the right to brag Amen Brother
When my "modded" car can beat another car that cost 3 TIMES AS MUCH, you do have a right to brag. Not Everyone knows how to mod, just how to buy power. I LOVE the C6ZO6, and would love to have one if I could afford one, but in the mean time my C5 can hand them their A _ _ if it comes to it and I'm darn proud of it.
