Slicks should put this car in the 10's if people can trap 127 with it bone stock. I think the Corvette Forum is waiting patiently for a member named Ranger to get his. He is a excellent drag racer and was able to take his '02 Z06 to an 11.82@117.26. That was bone stock right down to the tires!

It's fast alright. My only complaints about the C6's are the crappy interior and run-flat tires. Oh well. Same complaints for the Evo, minus the tires.

yea, that was stock. with slicks those can most definitely run 10's stock. they say it's hard to launch them. i believe it. how do you launch a 7.0ltr 500+hp car on street tires anyway, you don't. lol. you just ease out and floor it. those things are sick. imo, worth every penny!

Got this informations from m5 forum:

We're still buzzing over the Z06's ferocious 3.4-second burst to 60 mph.


When we reeled off a 1:26.00 lap, our knees were audibly knocking and we parked it. We've heard that the best GM drivers can go 2.50 seconds a lap faster at Grattan.

Viper's 1:27.50 lap time was 1.50 seconds slower than the Vette's.

The Viper's 3.8-second 0-to-60 sprint is still plenty quick, but it's almost a half-second slower than the Vette's. Some of that difference comes down to an issue of engine rpm and gearing. The Vette, for example, can reach 60 mph in first gear, whereas the Viper must use up a time-consuming gearshift. But in the quarter-mile, where the gearing isn't so much an issue, the Viper's 12.1-second time trails the Vette's by 0.3 second. As speeds increase, the Corvette's advantage widens. To hit 150 mph, the Viper needs 20.2 seconds, the Z06, 17.9. In a drag race, the Viper loses.

Grattan lap times:

Z06: 1:26....1:23.5 Gm test driver
Viper: 1:27.5
M5: 1:31.25
CLS55AMG: 1:32.55
Charger SRT-8: 1:32.65
STS-V: 1:33.55
Mazda MX-5 - 1:36.14
Pontiac Solstice - 1:37.35

Yes, its true...the M5 is as close to a Miata as a Z06. At least on a race track.

100-150mph

Corvette Z06: 9.6
Ford GT: 11.1
M5: 11.4
Gallardo: 12.3
55AMG: 15.1
Corvette Z51: 15.4
911 Carerra S: 16.2
Porsche 911: 18
Charger SRT: 19.5
STS-V: 24.9

c5 z06's never impressed me, but the 2006... gawd dammmmm! Seriously, that car will run with ANYTHING on the street stock for stock. If I had the $, I would buy one in a second. For all the doubters to the z06 running 11s at well over 120, take 1/2 second to search around the internet. All the major testers pulled those times... $65K!!! Stock!

Unless you have a big *** turbo and are a great driver, don't even try it!

I dont have a turbo and I beat one. But I also have close to 500hp at the wheels.
