Default C6 and C5

Is a standard C6 as fast as a Z06 C5 ?

C5 z06(stock) beats the (stock)05-07 (ls2)c6.
Now I heard a stock c5z and 08-13 (ls3)c6 is a even race, but on top the ls3 takes it.

My two cents- having had both- is that there's only so much useable power you can use and get to the ground . . . more power is always better...but even comparing this C5 with my C6 - - not much discernable difference for me . . .only way to know is put your butt in the seat and mash the pedal - - fun stuff either way.
