C5's are very lite(in comparison) geared very well, and VERY, VERY aerodynamic. its safe to say that a stock 6sp C5 vette can mop the floor with a 6.0 GTO.
it would be a really good race

Alright man, I'm taking your word for it. I've pulled a few C5's before, but I've always been a little scared of the 6.0 Goats (never really had a chance to run one). You better not be sending me off with a false sence of confidence

na trust me. ive been researching the hell outta C5's are my impending sale of my s2k and purchase of a vette is still in the works, and C5 are decpetively quick. seems like most on ls1tech and CF are trapping 110 no prob with little mods. 107-108 stock.

Good stuff bro! I know this will be helpful to a lot of new members. Probably some old ones too.

Most Evo 8's will trap just above 100mph. Some will see 102-103, and some will only see 99mph or so. Like most, it really depends on the drivers. There 13.3 or so 1/4 mile times have a lot to do with the 1.7 60ft's they can rip off with their AWD.

The Evo 9's on the other hand are a little different. They have seen traps of up to 107mph and E.T.'s of 12.9 completely stock. I believe it was an evo 9 RS that ran that time. Obviously not your everyday average, but also not impossible. I'd say 102-105 is more realistic.

Your stock F-body trap speeds are about 1-3mph slow across the board.
(1mph slow on the low end and about 2-3 low on the high end, GM DID make factory freaks. Such as my friend's WS6 that ran 12.9@107 BONE stock.).

just wanted to chime in, you should modify your list for SRT4's...The stages mean nothing...A stage 0 can trap up to 112 mph on stock turbo...with bolt ons...Stage 3's generally will be in that trap area though, but from stage 0 - s2, it doesn't really matter as they can all be in the same ball park.

Ex: My car with Stage 0, at 18 psi with no tuning (106 traps), this was w/o DP, Intake etc etc, just a Wastegate actuator

Just thought I'd chime in, in case someone told you S0 or S1 and you assumed those numbers
