Nice choice your Z06 looks good, Congrats!! But you do know that there is a difference between the C5 Z06 vs the C6 Z06's, performance wise Alot.
C5 Z06's can only trap a best of 114-116mph at best of 12.2sec in 1/4mile
C6 Z06's can trap a best of 125-127mph at best of 11.5sec in 1/4mile.
That's a big difference. Just simply clearing that up since you said it's a driver's race!! But i love C5 and C6 Z06's(thumb)

doesn't matter c6 still traps 118-120mph, it's faster than a C5Z06 stock for stock.

I know what the C6 Z06 is capable of. You do not need to inform me. But as far as pre-08 reg C6, the C5 Z has the advantage. And when it comes to the 08 to the C5Z drivers race.

Looks pretty close to me.(attn) I have been to the track on numerous occasions. I have never even seen a stock C6 break 115 and that is out of alot of C6's. Granted only one of those were an 08. I have seen a stock C6 z06's trap 122-123. But not even close to 120 for a C6. I have however seen a stock C5 z06 trap over 115 more than once.
For fun my 02 Trans Am vs a 06 C6.

What your seeing at the track is someone who can't drive. A C6 is well capable of trapping over 116mph which is what a stock C5 Z06 traps at best. remember elevation, wind, humidity, all play a factor
I've seen people post times of low 15's in an EVO. We all know evo
s are low-mid 13sec cars. It's all driver!! I've seen it happen in all kinds of car's.
Your trying to make the C5 Z06 something out to be that it's not. Pertaining to performance #'s is what i mean.
Now if your saying that the c6 is alot slower than a C6 Z06. It's actually not, your only looking at maybe 2-3car difference!! Put Intake, exhaust and a Tune on a C6 and it's bye bye C6 Z06.
I frequent other forums alot, mainly RSX and few people on there have vette's. One actually owns a C6 and raced a C6 Z06 the outcome is what i just posted. Mainly a 2-3 car difference!!
Wow 11.7 for a C5 Z06, what's that with slicks?? a C6 Z06 run's mid 11's. I find this hard to believe if it's stock!! something name(Ranger) ran a 10.8 Stock in his C6 Z06 on Slicks!! but it is not a 10sec car stock!!

A 08 C6 maybe but not a ls2 C6. I have never seen one of them trap over 115. And I am talking about over 2 dozen C6's. I am well aware of how D/A affects your time.
At best? YOu say the C6 traps at 120. Yet only 1 08 comes close. It is even more ugly for the LS2 C6.
Something it is not? The C5Z is an amazing car. 0-60 in the low 4's, capable of high 11's with the right driver. Trapping over 120's with bolt on's. While maintaing over 25mpg on the highway. You're right. The C5 Zo6 is a donkey.(doh)
I also frequent other forums. You name it, I am probably a member. One has to when a person is on his 39th car.
I don't get my corvette information from watching videos, on a honda luxury board. I get it from real experience, and from LSX boards, and corvette forums. If you stop by one of those you will see that I,E, and tune on a C6 doesn't = bye bye on a C6Z.
Here is the fastest time for a bolt on 08.
11.44 @ 119.11 - Theofel - 08 A6 - CAI, CB, conv, hdrs, 315, tune, DR
He is about 4-5 mph shy of the avg Z06 trap. and about 2 tenths faster. Mostly do to his DR's. The C6 Zo6 is in a league of its own.
J-rod's run was bone stock on stock rubber. He was the first to dethrone Ranger. And ranger is the one who made that list.
Ranger with just an intake and drag radials ran
11.52@120.21 1.64 60' in his 02 Z06. And J-rod with the zip tie mod, and DR's ran 11.59@118.53. And with exhaust and tunes C5Z's are capable of trapping 122-123.
To me it seems you should not take a ex-acura owners word for it and do some research on the actual board of the car. You won't sound so ill informed that way.

Thanks. The blue one has 8600 miles in that picture, and the yellow one had 100 something. I had to add the cobra emblem on my 2nd one. Way it should have come from the factory. The blue was not my color of choice. Wanted the orange 04, or oxford white. But I came to love the Blue. Excellent color.
Never dyno'ed the yellow. Didn't have it very long.(Long story)
But the blue put down 366whp stock. ANd after intake and full exhaust it put down 418whp. 52whp for 600 bux. Not bad if you as me. Stock I went 13.1@110.21. Then modded my best was 13.0@104. Never made it into 4th. From my 1/8th et though it should have been a 12.5-12.6. Best trap was 113.xx
Nice termi and vette. I think Oxford white is the best color for the Termi. What made you get rid of it?
My old old boss use to have a C4 just like yours.
lol...that is just scratching the surface. In all honesty though. If I could have done it over again, I would have kept my 00 Civic Si, when I was in high school. And saved everything I made. The Si would have been paid off, and I could buy a C6 Z06 cash.(argh)

If I'm not mistaken a member on the boards with a C6 trapped somewhere in between 116-118. That's well above 115mph. You know, LS2's respond very well to mods.
The C6 is capable of 116-119mph stock. I meant 119 not 120. 120 is actually kind of overrated, but i bet it's possible.
Once again i was pertaining to performance #'s if you can read smart guy(hand)
good for you, I'm glad you experienced 39cars over the years!!
regardless of how much a bye bye you think it is. a stock C6 Z06 vs a C6 with intake, exhaust and tune will win given equal drivers.
I don't take advice from other people, I just frequent other forums and when i see someone laying down false info. That's where i come in!! In the beginning of your thread, you didn't specify if you were talking about the C6 or C6 Z06 until someone else brought up that fact!! But regardless, i Don't see a C5 Z06 spanking a C6!!
Given equal driver's I see the C6 out on top!!(thumb)

12.21 @ 115.45 - LS1LT1 - 06 A6 - That is the fastest stock LS2 time. And only one other LS2 vette has hit over 115 on the list. And both were done in very good d/a. So it matches with my experience for a LS2 Vette to trap 115 is very rare as I have not seen it happen. To see it trap over 115 maybe as possible as running into a white elephant. I would not consier .45mph well over 115. While seeing a 02-04 Z06 hit 116 is common. Advantage C5Z.
Then you look at the LS3 mph and et's. Very similiar to the C5Z. As I said in the beginning, it is a drivers race between the two.
Now you are changing what you said. Anyways not for an LS2 C6 as proven earlier.
??????????What I brought up were performance numbers. (hand)
Wrong. Fact. Especially if you are talking about a LS2 C6.
If you didn't so hastely jump to conclusions in attempt to make yourself look smarter, you would have read that I was responding to a post regarding the LS3 vette, aka 08 C6.
False info? LOL. I have based all my information on actual avg joe drivers and first hand experience. You base all you information on corvettes from an acura website, and one youtube video.
And a edge to the C5Z compared to LS2 C6 is hardly spanking. And it is a drivers race for the 08. Plain and simple.
"Nice termi and vette. I think Oxford white is the best color for the Termi. What made you get rid of it?

Thanks, I was offered a price I could not refuse for the cobra. When I sold her last November she had 12500 miles and made 440 RWHP & 460 RWTQ.
My ZR1 Corvette is #396 of 448 made in 1994. Less then 7000 of them were built in 6 year's of production 1990 to 1995. Stock she made 405 hp and 385 tq. Only mods are exhaust, CAI and tune, geussing 420 to 430 hp now.
My take on the c5 z06 - c6 and c6 z06, the c5z06 is just as fast if not alittle faster then a c6 ls2, a c6 ls3 may be a little faster then a c5 z06. A c6 with bolt ons ls2 or 3 is not as fast as a c6 z06. You will need a heads cam package to mess with the z, dont forget the z is about 250 lbs lighter then the c6. But add heads cam to z06 and its see ha big time.

once again your comparing a automatic!! Automatics trap about 114-116mph. Find a 6-speed and you'll easily trap 116-118mph!! good way of comparing a C6 auto vs manual times..............REAL CLEVER
I'm simply talking about the 6.2L V-8 LS2 06 C6!!
Changing what?? i simply stand by what i say!! I never argued the fact that the C6 could trap 120mph, I'm arguing the fact that it can trap over 115mph in the 1/4 mile. Yet your comparing an automatic!! Trust me a Manual C6 will trap 116-118mph

OMG you are dense. I said fastest LS2 time. Not quickest. Though the a6 LS2 C6 in question happens to be both. Automatic or not it has the highest mph out of the LS2 times. Once again showing how little you know. And the other LS2 C6 was a manual that hit 115. Again the only two LS2 C6's that broke 115 on the list.
Since when is the LS2 a 6.2L? That's right keep going to the acura forum for your information. After that go to a lexus forum for all your Porsche knowledge.(rockon)
Not a LS2. They barely hit 115.
And what about everything else I said....0-60, trap speeds, et. MPG is another stat of how capable these cars are.
Nope. You may think it is the truth. But in fact you are wrong. Does your dad/relative own a LS2 C6 and that is why you think it is the cat's meow?
Just read the post and what I quoted. I have not edited that post. Nice try.
So you go onto the acura sub forums in the corvette section to get your info???
I said the C5Z has the edge, nothing about walking a ls2 vette. And I may not know alot about the C6, but I still know more about it than you.
Cheers.
