Sounds like it might have been an auto[?] The gearing in the A6 is 2.56:1

A 6-speed manual has a much better gearing advantage and the Z51 option even that much more. FYI, the LS3 is 430HP, the NLP exhaust option bumps it to 436 (same TQ). A C6 Coupe is only ~90lbs heavier than a Z06 (the Z06 weight is impressive because of the larger motor, brakes, wheels, tires, oil system, etc.)

I didnt get any indication of wether it was an auto or manual. Like mentioned he was behind me so I wasnt able to see or hear the signs. More good info though, thanks...

each race is different. I'm guessing the mods the guy had on the C6 had something to do with the outcome with my race. Its always fun putting a smack down on a 'faster' car though!
For sure

Hey no problem.

I'm planning on a SC setup sometime in the near future too. I've done a couple of turbo cars, but never a supercharger and I like the simple[r] plug-n-play of some of the kits.
