Yup. It's an auto. There were lightly modded 5.0 autos running around the same times that day too.

Ranger on Corvette forums took a BONE Stock z06. added Drag radials and ran high 10s. other wise stock.

I was just giving an example the mustang's only real standing chance against vettes are our blow big brothers.

I wasn't really talking directly to you, Danny. Just the conversation in general.

Oh, I know. Ranger and those guys rent out MIR in late December every year to make hero passes with -2000 DA and buckets of VHT. Still very impressive but they ain't gonna run those times at Ennis in June.

I agree. However, it does show the amazing potential of those cars be it a LS3 or LS7 car in stock or lightly modified form to which a 5.0 can't compete with.

Stock 5.0 vs stock LS3 Vette = drivers race.

Stock 5.0 vs stock Z06 = Z06 by a bunch.

Bolt-on 5.0 vs Bolt on LS3 = Vette with ease

Bolt-on 5.0 w/boost vs LS3 h/c/i = close race

Bolt on 5.0 w/boost vs h/c/i Z06 = Z06 by murder

Haha, yeah I know what you are saying. Honestly, I've always thought comparing a Mustang vs the Vette really isn't a fair comparison considering the Mustang is a 2+2 coupe and Vette is a two seater sports car, but this conversation is about answering the OP's original question.

A more fair comparison would be the old Camaro vs Mustang conversation in which the new Mustang dominates in every way.

Steve, you forgot something.

im just giving you shit haha. My dad has an 11 C6 and we go at it constantly...from him putting his whataburger trash in my engine bay at C&C to me letting air out of all his tires. Its all in good fun.

The mustang vs corvette banter will never die.

The fastest being a 12.1@ 117. Stock everything...including the heavy ass run flats. It's an auto btw. I would say it takes full exhaust and intake on a stang and then it should start getting some c6 ls3s. It would be neck and neck with the ls2s stock. (07 and prior)

You barely broke into the 12's with all that? Jesus. Stock stands run that.

In your case that true, from my view point it's called experience.

Haha, sounds like a good time. My Dad doesn't really care what he drives and just shakes his head at me with my toys. He rather give me shit for giving up on playing golf and bowling. lol

I was ok with it. The track prep and temps weren't great. Blue devil, on this site, was there that night and barely dipping into the 12s also. He had exhaust and a throttle body and i think bigger gears in addition to me. Other than that we both had a tune, boss mani, and cold air. Wasn't just me...
