drove a friend's 05 z51 6 speed 2 runs, same night as my 03 z06.
Both stock tires, stock EVERYTHING, totally.
z06 consistently 12.0's and 116-7 mph
c6 consistently 12.5's and 113-4
definitely noticed a power difference in 3rd, and also had some wheelhop in the c6 hitting 2nd where the z06 was smooth as silk.

At LACR I had the chance to run a C6 when my Z06 was stock, the Z was about 3/10's quicker. Interestingly the C6 had over 12K miles on the clock and my Z06 barely has 3K on it now. No bashing the C6 here, I have one
Jschindlers 12.4 and orangeC6's 12.5 is pretty damn fast for box stockers!

I wonder what running with sticky 17" MT DR's or even Nitto / BFG Dr's would do to help with the pathetic 2.0 short times I'm seeing here.. I would think if we could achieve a respectable 1.6-1.7 60" the E.T's will drop.. 
Just my .02
I've SOLD my 2001 Lunati Stroker so I AM interested in this as I will have a 2006 MN6 Z51 in my near fu
ture..

Was the C6 running hot or were you running cold? Seems like there could be information missing? Wow, if only I can get another 5 Hp would I get 3/10 quicker?

Besides all this, this thread asks "Who has the fastest stock C6 unmodified and on oe rubber? Not "My C5 ZO6 is better"

Why do I feel like you want to start something? I was answering your sarcastic reply as to how 5 hp could get me 3/10's better et.
I own a C6, I love my C6. The C6 is a better all around car comapred to the C5 or C5 Z06. I posted what my Z06 ran as a comparison to what the others were writing including what Thanos thought about his C6 running slow and how conditions affect quartermile performance.
I think the question was answered, 12.5 for a Z51 A/4 and 12.49 for a stick Z51.
