ebalentine Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Which car is faster in the quarter mile? a C5 Z06 405hp or a C6 LS3 436 hp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Interesting question, the Z is probably (only) about 100 lbs lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Which is faster....the one with the better driver. They are close enough in HP that it would fall back on how it's driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadC Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 5.7 L vs. 6.2L Ls3 hands down. the c5 Z06 has closer gears ratios on 1 -4 to improve the 1/4 mile, but the added TQ of the LS3 makes it the winner in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidNiteFury01 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We can armchair quarterback this one to death, but the only way to test is to find a 1/4 mile track and lay down some rubber... the NCCC says a C5 Z06 is comparable to C6 in the revised rules for AutoX'ing. It would be a good test... best 2 out of 3 anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertdawg Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Which car is faster in the quarter mile? a C5 Z06 405hp or a C6 LS3 436 hp? Earl, aren't you a little old to be looking for the fastest car??? I'd bet on the LS3 with either transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Top 5 results from the CF 1/4 mile performance lists This is too close to call either one a winner. Track and weather conditions can easily affect times in excess of a tenth, regardless of driver skills.

ebalentine Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I did the math above and I came up with an average C5 Z06 1/4 mile =11.86 seconds and 117.97mph and the C6 LS3 1/4 mile = 11.93 and 118.59mph. The Z06 was faster in time and only .5mph slower. I believe the older 2002 C5 Z06 only had 385hp? the 03's and 04'a had 405. In the defense of the LS3 engine you could have 430hp or 436hp. I would have to say they are about the same in speed as far as the 1/4 test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The 2001 model year had 385. There is essentially no difference in the '02-'04. Bone stock is very close, but I feel the LS3 is more responsive to modding. For instance, my C5Z was bone stock and ran all day at 12.6 at 111 mph at Speedworld on a "no prep" track on street tires. Dwayne was about 0.5 seconds quicker in is LS3 car with open intake, Z06 exhaust and a tune. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
