Depends on who you ask or whos dyno you came off of, but I would say as soon as you go over the 700 rwhp or 650 rwtq mark say good-bye to your tires at just about any speed. Lots of fun.

A freak vette would be a stock c6 running a sub-12 second 1/4 mile.

I would say RWHP > 350

edit: of course, with the rumors of a 425+ HP 2008, this only applies to 2005-2007

I've seen dyno graphs of stock C6's in the low 330's for rwhp and upwards of 360's for others. Why, who knows,could be the dyno's,could be an anomoly.
