Default How fast are the 03 Z06?

I met a guy at the track the other day and has a 03 that is bone stock that runs 11.8. That the normal for that car to be that fast? He said he did a air filter upgrade is all.

In "as delivered from the factory stock" I went

1.85 60' / 11.933@114.52

Pulling the airbox lid off (stock box, and stock filter though) and bolting on a set of ET Streets.
1.675 60 ' / 11.596@118.53

See this post for video of my car making a pass.

Chevrolet's published times for a 2001 Z06 are 12.6@114.
They have top drivers, best conditions, and plenty of practice, how is it so many people can beat their times?
Wishful thinking? I watched a number of Z06's last weekend, high 12s and low 13s 110-114.
