An 01 Z06 with a super-charger is not stock. Without at least stating which type of super-charger, whether or not it is inter-cooled and how much boost you intend on applying this question is meaningless.

It depends on a lot of things starting with how much speed can be carried through the corners so the car is exiting onto the straight at a higher speed. The next thing is how good your brakes are so you can go further down the straight at WOT before braking. In a stock 03Z I could hit 146 (on the rev limiter) going from Turn 1 (mid 60s mph at the apex of the turn) to the end of the back straight at Watkins Glen which is about 3200 ft. Of course to get that speed the driver pretty much has to be flat out through Turns 2, 3, and 4. If you lift for those turns which are on a very steep hill you will not get the speed at the end.
An oval would be different. With the same car I was able to hit 150 on the Long Pond straight at Pocono. That was after going through NASCAR Turn 1 at 115. Since I didn't like doing Turn 1 as fast as some other people I did get passed by similar cars when I was doing 150.
