My auto 99 C5 ran a 13.0 with just an intake. It ran a 13.4 bone stock. I traded it for the Z and there is a huge power difference. However, no two LS1's are the same. I had a strong one. There are some vettes (or drivers) that can't break into the 13's. On the average every vette I saw run, which was a lot, was getting 13.0's to 13.6's. Very possible to get with a Z car.. in my opinion.

 

Yes thats at the track, but on the highway there are somany factors involved.
I actually beat a WS6 T/A the other day on the street, and we raced well up into 120-130.

The guy claimed he wasn't used to racing it. Said it was his brothers car. He also said he missed third at first.

He claimed that he brother's girlfriend has a 350z and he beats that all day long.

Is any of this true? I don't really care because I beat him. If anything it means I'm a better driver than he is.

At leasts thats the way I look at it.

 

You are a way better driver or he is a way terrible driver. The ws6 has the same motor and the c5. I see them pull mid 13's all day long. Now if it was just a TA with the old LT1 motor we would have a chance. But then again a win is a win even if he sux at driving. He shouldn't race if he can't. Makes his brother look bad

 

C5's are the ultimate sports car for the money. Nothing compares.

 

Hehe, Yeah I've beat an older trans am (mid 90's it looked like) legitimatly, but I knew that WS6 should have beat me. It just goes to show what can happen when cars are relativly close to each other in performance.

Maybe I should have said I have a K&N replacement filter if thats even worth mentioning hehe.

 

hey fairlady, just saw your post here about pics of the vettes. i am fairily new to this site, is there some place to post pics at?

 

A stock manual C5 traps between ~107-110. I don't think a 350Z can touch that with out boost.

 

I eat C5's for lunch everyday but here is a pretty sweet looking one eh? If the C5 was blown etc they would walk me.

How do you think your car would do against a stock z06? Also do you get alot of Honda trying to race you?

 

Honda's?

Yeah everyday, I don't race them though but they rev on me daily (loudly) I feel sorry for them but admire their love and pride for their car.

Not worth me risking a ticket for a speed contest because it wouldn't be a race and it happens so often that the law of average would catch up to me.

Stock Z06 would be fun and a drivers race , Z06 owners around here don't like to play with me, I have tried. The one at the track runs 11's modified.

 

The Z06 really is a fast car, I had one before I got my Z (a few minor bolt ons) and it ran with equally modified Vipers all day long. I am not very impressed at all with the normal C5, I think there is more than 50 horse difference, and some of them have horrible gearing. If your Z is fairly modified go find a C5 (not a Z06) that thinks he's bad, get him a fired up so he just sits there and spins at the line, hopefully you can get a 2 or 3 car jump on it and they won't catch up.

 

Chevy should have got a little more aggressive with the C6 - I would have taken by trading in my Z. Motor wise the C6 looks like a beast but the damn things are just so fugly.

 

Looks like a c5 offshoot. not much thought went into it.....

 

fastest car I have had the experience of driving is my dad's 2003 E55, dynoed 439rwhp and 510rwtrq. He runs 12.3 @ 115mph completely stock with his jacket and tie on...LOL.....12secZ........he most likely will be there this wednesday in his E with me!.....lol that rymed....

 

Sounds fun, supposed to rain Wedneday though and I wanted to go. Forecast says the storm comes in that day. Yeah those E55's are quick!

 

wow, you think the new c6 is fugly ?? i think it looks hot!

 

Stock c5's run mid to high 12's

 

*****- don't post if you HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

NO STOCK C5 HAS EVER RUN A MID 12

Z06, that's a different story.

 

Debatable... A decent driver can put a stock Z06 in the low 12's easily. I believe the fastest bone stock Z run 11.8 (J-Rod on Corvetteforum). Strap on ET Streets and there's guys running 11.3, but they're REALLY good drivers.

Either way, you've got a fast car there.

 

Put down the bottle and sac o weed and step back.......

12secZ - not suppose to rain till Thusday now, and its suppose to be 64 degrees tomorrow. Hope to see you there.
