Stock C6 vs. Stock 5.0

[GB_Stang]

I would definitely say it is a driver's race with the vette pulling up top. My 5.0 I could just get into the 12s. 12.8 @ 111. ( Manual-bad driving, Dallas Mustang tune-not so great) I did have the boss mani, tune, cold air, wider wheels and tires though. My stock vette has ran, at its slowest, a 12.4@ 116. 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)

Really? Any stock auto Vette off the showroom floor will run a 12.1 @ 117? I did not know that.

[GB_Stang]

I don't know about any...I am just saying mine did. I am also by far not the best driver. There is a fast list on the vette forum showing a lot of guys doing 11s, some as low as 11.6s all stock on stock rubber. Track conditions were real good for me too. 1500 DA and 65 degrees...

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

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

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...
