Even if you beat the guy, which I would have my doubts for the aforementioned reasons. The guy is just a chip away from crushing numbers.
A chipped SL600, is enough to be right with a SL65. Check out MBworld.com
I have not seen many C6's run, but I have seen stock ones usually in the high 12's @109-111. And stock C5 Z06's in the mid 12's @114ish.
Though last time I was there, there was a 05 C6 M6, with full exhaust, intake, cam and tune. He was running well into the 11's @ 120+
It would take some serious mods to out run a modded SL600. But who cares its a tank....I have driven an SL55 and it doesn't even come close to the thrill of driving base C6.

MPH does matter, especially shows the faster car on the top end.
What is your best trap?

True but it doesn't show just how much that extra 900+ pounds hurts it's ET.
Even if it traps higher doesn't mean it will win the race, 115mph cars beat 120mph cars all of the time (traction, weight, driver error etc.) at the track.
I think he's been 118+ a couple of times which is downright insane
for a bolt ons only (and not even full bolt ons yet either) automatic with stock gears...that's almost a manual with bolt on type trap speed.
