C6Z owner couldn't drive his way out of a wet paper sack, clearly. My bone stock 04 Z06 drug every single 5.0 at coit one night. Including full bolt on cars. Z didn't even have a tune

You clearly have more experience than most guys. I know you can drive whatever it is your in. That being said, lack of driving on someone else's behalf, isn't my problem. Hence why some guys with less power can beat guys with more power. I think the race between him and I will be a good one. I don't think anyone is going to run away from the other. Time will tell though.

Was the c6z guy really old? Maybe he had artharites and couldn't grip the shifter very hard??

And I'll be more than happy to bet some money on this race if it ever happens. I'm a degenerate :/

You are right, drivers do make a big difference. The faster car doesnt always win due to driver error or lack of skill. That being said, even a monkey in a C6 Z06 should be able to drive around a NA 5.0. Hell, my car bone stock weighing a BUNCH more than a C6 Z06 will fuck up a bolt on 5.0 and a Z will beat me. Lol.

A stock c6 Z06 with a good driver can run 10.90s STOCK.

If you're talking about Rangers car, stock is a relative term. He did go 10.98 on the run flats, at MIR, on a 40 degree day, but that car is tuned within an inch of it's life. Stock? I guess you can call it LS stock. He did 10.70s with DR's by the way. Damn impressive run. But I wouldn't call it stock, and I certainly wouldn't capitalize the word.

What parts on the car weren't stock?

The part that counts the most, the ECM. I ran 11.60's with a "stock" 2012 GT. Stock air box, paper filter, stock exhaust. Only mod it had was a tune, so yeah, it was as stock as Rangers Vette.

Sounds pretty stock to me. A tune isn't changing parts, what hard parts are changed from factory?

TMK Ranger posted times with the car untuned and tuned. I guess I don't understand all the confusion.

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't consider a tune a crazy mod, same with plugs and oil lol. Does water wetter count?!

Typical LS think. Of course I'm pretty sure you consider anything short of changing heads to be stock lol

Modular motors make some people so bitter and angry..

So does stupidity

And stating that putting another tune on a car besides the one that comes from the factory and still calling it stock is pretty dumb.
