Is your 6 speed an automatic or manual?
High 11's for sure, if you can hook up and get your 60' at 2 secs or less. With a completely stock Vert Z51 MZN, my (2 yr. old) GY supercars wouldn't hook up resulting in 2.5 second 60 foot times and I managed a 13.0 @ 113mph. These cars are easily capable of 2 second 60 foot times.
For every .1 second gain on your 60 foot, you should yield .2 in the 1/4.
My car should be (with better tires) low 12's.

I'm sorry, I flubbed up, I don't. The dyno numbers were 438/433. Whoops. Those were figures I had in my head for approximate flywheel numbers based on a 12% drivetrain loss.

If conditions are right and you're good, I 'll guess 11.82. With a bad track and some wheelspin-maybe a second more.
My bone-stock '08 A6 ran 12.604 @114.5 at E-town 3 week ago on a hot day.
