Be careful who you listen to. They run in the 12s stock.

I have similar mods to my '04L (4lb lower, CAI, SCT9100 custom tune, Magnaflow cat-back). My truck ran 12.8 @ 109 on its virgin trip to the strip.

Stock C5 Vettes at the same dragstrip would be fortunate to run that time. Typically on street tires they are in the 13.1-13.2 @ 111mph range.

When my '02 Z06 was _stock_ it ran 12.3 @ 116mph at the same track. The C6 hardtop should run mid, high-12s stock.

Draw your own conclusions, these are just some facts for you.

i know a guy with an 04 running 7.80s, 7.70s with some simple bolt ons, and a higher stall converter + drag radials. that was when i was running 8.20s, high 8.1s. i'd say a STOCK C5 would be a pretty good match. C6 will move by you.
