C6 vs Porsche Carrera

[PBodyGT87]

on Car and Driver this morning they ran the C6 against the new Porche Carrera. I was rather disappointed in the C6 time.

Quarter Mile:
C6- 13.2
Porshe-12.8

and the porsche handled and cornered better, but then again, it does cost twice as much as the C6...

C6 has already gone 12.6 at 112? by.... damn... which magazine.... sorry can't remember...

yha with a non retarded driver astock c6 on stock tires would run 12.8-12.6@112-114...im sure with slicks and a good driver they could dip into the 11's like stock c5's have.

gmhtp got a bone stock c5 z06 on street tires to do 11.97

im sure the same is more than posible with a c6 on slicks

i didnt realize gmhtp got them into the 11's i knew a few guys on some of the ls1 & vette boards hit 11's on slicks but on street tires thats a choir

ya i got the issue lying around somewhere...they took an 04 z06 with every option(including carbon fiber hood) and ran 11.97 at englishtown...im sure there's a writeup about it online

of course when they dynoed it it was way over the advertised 405 hp...i think it was like 440ish at the crank

yea...GMHTP hit 11.97 with a stock Z06, and a guy from LS2.com did it as well, back in early december at Atco. 11.939 @ 119mph, completely stock, stock tired, and full weight

There's actually a really good article in the newest Popular Hot Rodding about a C6 and torque management. Cartek got one, and afterdisablingthe TQ mGMT, went 11.5@118 with Kooks headers, stock mufflers, stock airbox, sticky tires, and a couple of tweaks.
