Race proven motorsports heads cam package, halltech killer bee, AR 1 7/8 headers, 3in X, mamo 102. Driver won't be an issue. Kinda curious what c5 z06s are doing with similar set ups. My buddy's c6Z ran a 10.1 140mph with the same setup and MSD manifold.

lol.
How many times have you been down the track in a 6 sped Vette?
What makes you think there would be much difference, if any, between the two cars? Very similar weight. Similar HP.

Never said there would be much difference... the point of the thread is to hear from others that currently run 427s in their c5 Z.
What does yours put down and what's your best times?

I traded in my 6 speed for a TH400 a long time ago. I'm just saying a lot of people, myself included, initially think getting down a track can't possibly be too difficult because they've been driving stick cars for years. Managing the power and clutch in an IRS car is a bit more difficult than people think.
So, you've got 50 or so passes. You have an idea what it takes, but, I'm still betting you're not going to set the world on fire the first time you roll into the water box with your new ride.
Best of success with it. Sounds like a beast.
