C5 Corvette Z06 vs C6 LS3 Corvette 1/4 Mile

[@craigthescott5074]

I love my C5 Z06 I drive it daily it’s built 402 CI with close to 600 HP. Built trans and rear end it’s a total street monster that gets 20 MPG.

[@nickadkins7765]

The 2 biggest mods both of those guys can do is lose atleast 100 pounds and get some more seat time

[@allovruracing9404]

C5 is bad brother! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@robertleal85]

Weather conditions were not ideal. 89 degrees, 65% Humidity. Density Altitude was approximately 2500 ft.

[@Carguylogan]

My 100% stock 01 Z06 with a full tank of gas in 3,000 ft DA went 12.61 @ 113. That's with a 2.0 60' and heat soaked, staging at 230° coolant temp. Stock paper air filter and all. This is why I use a 100 shot when I want to play and leave the engine stock. People do a cam, headers, exhaust, tune, FAST etc and make 420-430 whp but still struggle to trap high teens. Stock C5Zs have done 120 mph on multiple occasions. Any C5Z with a cam and headers should go 120+ mph even in 2,500-3,000 DA IMO and most of the time they just don't. Now you have a loud, choppy car that people think it's gonna be fast and then it's only 3-4 mph faster than an average stock Z which is embarrassing.

[@simonriddick]

I remember the first time I took my Ls1 ws6 to the track I had bfg street tires and I had some troubles shifting and man was it hot and humid. I never felt my engine so hot when I popped the hood just a damn sauna under there lol. Fastest I got was a 14.1 and there was a 2002 SS with us that ran 13.7. Friend SRT charger ran 13.7 too and he usually ran faster. It was just too damn hot. That track is close to lake Ontario here in Canada eh so that doesn't help with humidity. First time at the track is a eye opener we got a whoopin that night.

[@racingdreamz8021]

I have a C6 I must say that the C5 looks so much better, I might just switch it up a bit

[@Ls_corvette]

Look at the side angle on the z06 and you will want to keep your c6 and all you got to do is change the head lights on the c6 and it will look way better

[@turfguy420]

1:15 we all been there bro .......

[@PABLORL1989]

I thought they run 12.4-12.6 stock?

[@ryanrake2714]

They do. The best anyone’s gotten a stock c5 z06 was 11.9s. That was a later model though.

[@wydopnthrtl]

Both had low trap speeds. DA was clearly not good. I do think the C6 left a solid 0.1-0.2 in the 60ft. With those tires and the decent burnout he could have launched harder

[@Coyote.Collector]

Those times are sad, I had a c5 as well fbo and ran a 12.2 all day and then I bought a 2014 5.0 and did fbo e85 And ran a 11.1

[@alcapone511]

11.1 in a FBO 14 kinda hard to believe what kinda bolt ons ?

The c6 red lit on the tree, that race was even if you ask me

[@Theros925]

it was definitely the c5.

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

I'm z06 shopping, at least I was. How could my truck be faster than these 2?

[@BoBuilds]

They might just not be as fast as they're thought of. To be fair the LS3 was on Radials and the Z06 was on street tires. I bet the Z would've won on radials as well

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

GreaseMonkeyMods I'm c6 z06 shopping, my fear is blowing the differential at the track. Solid rear axle conversion is pricey but when it blows is what my repair will have to be.

[@SimplyJustRandomness]

If you wanna race and worried about breaking stuff ..get out of this game while you are ahead.

It also depends on the the altitude. Someone running at Maryland international is going ro run quite a bit faster than someone running the same car in Colorado.

[@Blakehenry11]

Shoulda put drag radials on that Z06 you would have run way better IMO.

[@SimplyJustRandomness]

Where at state wise? Houston? elevation bad there also eh? Im on east coast...so I am almost postive that auto c6 is an 11 sec car my way on the 1/4

[@RiseAboveFilmsLLC]

Baytown, just east of Houston.

[@BoBuilds]

Elevation is low and good, but this night it was hot and humid which is supposed to be terrible on the DA

[@Does_it_come_in_black]

Once you get those LS6’s breathing right it’s a different animal

trick flow 220s?

Still not in the same ballpark as the LS3

[@EagleS197]

Dude, C6 base auto why didn't you use the paddle shifter?. You put it to the floor in D sounded like to me.

[@Dasher904]

If the trans was tuned its faster than you will ever be paddle shifting

Geez my 01 Z06 went 12.61 bone stock- paper air filter, Eagle F1 tires and all. 60' was only 1.99 and the DA was 2540 ft so not particularly good on either front. Full tank of gas. With a better DA and leaving harder it'd go 12.30s for sure.

[@venom-dq4rb]

you are correct I was one of the 1st people in IL to take delivery of the C5 Z06, went 12.20's- 12.40's all day a week after i bought it, my best 60' was 2.0 , this guys car is either badly tuned or he doesnt know how to drive.

[@MrWackenhut]

Still won’t beat the ls3

[@Carguylogan]

@@MrWackenhut The C5 Z06 and LS3 fast lists are identical. They are dead even in a drag race, and the Z06 is faster on track. I sold the Z though. I moved and there are no curvy roads anywhere near me lol so I bought a base C6 convertible. Feels like a boat compared to my old Z06 but it's a better cruiser. Long tubes, FAST 102, small cam and 3000 stall and its pretty fun.
