Don't believe that magazine! I personally saw a stock one, still had t-tags run 12.63 @ 111mph down a Capitol dragway this past November. I'm pretty sure it was manual.

Yea, i agree, thats what i hear, those cars do 12.6 at 110mph+ this is with the "sport gearing" i think its Z51 package and 6-speed.

Yeah, that look is priceless!! A farm truck is running with my 60k car??WTF?? LOL. I'm only running 4 #, CAI, predator with jlp custom tune, so most of the time I'm hoping the guy in the vette is a lousy driver!! Can't wait until I have the money for a KB and built engine!

Those Z0-6 guys hate to get beat by a truck. I love it when they come by after a race looking for a trailor. They nearly go cross-eyed when I put the 20's back on and drive it home.

13.1 does not suprise me at all

the owner of lacr in socal (drag strip) has one of those c6's and he said he has gotten one 13.3 for his best E.T.

now lacr is at 2700' above sea leval. and he does own the track so i am sure track prep was perfect.

my father also owns a c6 vette. i picked it out for him

they will no doubt whoop a stock L

but if you got 6lb pulley air cleaner upgrade and a good tune you could get him in the quarter.

i have seen many corvette challange races out in palmdale (lacr)

stock z06's are no better then the c6 and c5's no where near that.

all tracks are not equal. the boys in the south and in the east are lucky to have those tracks they got.
