LS2 A6 12.21 @ 115.45 LS1LT1
LS7 M6 11.22 @ 127.16 Ranger
LS3.....not really enough info here to determine yet.

LS2 A6 AVG RWHP= 337-340
LS2 M6 AVG RWHP=340-355
LS7 M6 AVG RWHP=440-470(seen 'em all in between)

LS3...??? again, alot have been dyno'd, alot after mods and such, but the best read on the LS3 dyno numbers I've seen is 355-380 RWHP.

Others may wanna chime in with more info, this is what I've gathered from here and other car enthusiest spots. The LS3 owners just either :
1) don't run their cars
2) don't keep them stock long enough to run them
3) lie incessantly
4)all run down hill drag strips

I know you said "11.22" and Ranger did indeed run that and it stands as the quickest bone stock on stock rubber run in a C6 Z06.

But giving credit where credit is due, there are two others who have run 11.2x completely bone stock on stock rubber in the LS7 based C6 Z06.

Dr. Ron and Jamie Furman.

The only showroom stock LS3 runs reported here so far have been the spec of 12.4x or higher. Of the 12.4 runs no time slips are shown.
