Stock for stock who would win?

drivers race. for what its worth, the c6 has a higher top speed, but no races really get up that fast.

Even a the Z51 C6 is slower than a C5 Zo6 on any track with the same driver

yeah what the hell do you mean? where are your facts? argument?

It will come down to a drivers race like always with the edge to the C5 Z06. The C5 Z06 has slightly more hp than the c6 and is also lighter weight. As for top speed, like smokeyburnouts said no one ever races to that but I have seen stock C5's go 190+ mph.

Z06 handling is better due to:
wider andd stickier tires
stiffer suspension
better schocks
stiffer sway bar.
Z06 gear box had different ratio where you have a true 6 speed while C6 has 5 speed plus one you never use on track
Z06 is sliglty lighter

This is why on a track it is faster.

I don't know, but with equal drivers in a straight line....my money would be on the Zo6.

**M6HUGGERSS** · 05-23-2007, 05:42 PM

i remember seeing a race when the C6 first came out.

A4 C6 v. C5 Z06

from a roll the C6 got ahead and i think they were even at the 1/4 mark.

from a roll the C5 pulled on the C6.

very simialr performing cars. though the Z06 is a bit more capable on a real
race track.

I have VIDEO If you guys would like? I own a 03 Z06 and a close friend of mine owns a 05 C6. We ran them from a 40 roll last week 3 times. We both can shift the cars well and it is NOT a drivers race. Video is quite dark but, you can get the idea. Both cars have Intakes and the C6 has a catback. I'll post the video up if ou guys want me to.

**slpfirehawk00** · 05-23-2007, 07:26 PM

Also I believe the Z06 is quicker because of the close ratio gearing in 1-2-and 3rd gears. Both cars redline at around 6600 and the horsepower should be close. Were going to do the same race again during the day so everyone can see the video better.

I second that

**slpfirehawk00** · 05-25-2007, 04:32 PM

As I said its dark but here you go. The first 2 races are the 2 corvettes going at it. The last 3 are a 04 Gto and a turbo 240sx.

nice video, it is solved, zo6, 1 C6,0

**Blackout98c5** · 06-05-2007, 12:04 AM

I just raced a C6 convertible 6speed and it did not impress me, I beat it from 30-140

**Z06-Goose** · 06-05-2007, 03:22 AM

I'm sorry, it doesn't come down to driver. The C5-Z06 is faster that the regular C6 anyday, anytime, anywhere

I'm yet to see a regular C6 perform at the track Z06 like numbers.
I've run against a number of C6's at the track myself. Not even close

Acutally every race comes down to the driver. This is the real world, anything can and will happen.

I guess that's a true statement. I re-read the question, and he was referring to a heads-up race. Yes, driver will be a factor
Both drivers being equal, I like my chances with the Z06

Apparently you have a passenger since you have the camera, did the C6 have a passenger as well?
