i was just comparing it to the c5 zo6… good drivers have gotten their c5 zo6s in the 11s, and the c6 is faster than the c5 zo6 (at least the one comparison i saw it was) :shrug:

**Clarification**

2005 vettes with standard 400hp run 12.70 - 13.20sec depends on driver

2005 Z06 with 505 runs 11.7sec at the 1/4 mile

adictd2b00st is right this wasn’t a z06 because is a convertible

**therefore the vette in discussion runs low 13s hi 12s**
