C5 Vs C6
Just curious how the C5 does against the C6 in the 1/8 mile & 1/4 mile
Also, will the C5 Z-06 beat a C6 Coupe with the 430 HP?
Just curious if anyone has raced these.

A stock base C5 should lose to a C6. A stock C5 Z06 is slightly faster than the stock '05-'07 C6. The '08 C6 should beat a stock C5 Z06.

You are spot on who should be faster, in fact the 08 C6 really runs good and better when taken to a tuner for a good tune

Which is what you would expect with the higher HP motors in the C6.

...however a supercharged C5 can beat all C6s except for the Z06 (better traction with street tires).
So, for about $30,000 (including the C5), you'll have some very modern speed to put away almost anything on the road.

An aggressive h/c C5 can take a C6Z...I would sure as hell hope a blown C5 could too.

I love it when people brag that their modified car can beat someone elses stock car.
Well, DUH!
Does that prove anything?

It doesn't. Technically a stock 05-07 is faster than a stock 08 because of the intrusive torque management. The only Vette thats faster than a C5Z is a C6Z.

...but not a smog-legal H/C C5. A cam big enough to beat a C6 Z would probably produce some heavy HC fumes after clogging up the cats!

The OP asked how stock C5 does against a stock C6. I own both and C6 wins hands down. The C5Z is very close to a stock C6.
