I ate up a C-6 with my 5.0, and honestly wasn't really that close. We pulled up to the next light and he said "that settles it, I'm getting headers, exhaust and a tune". It kills me, I don't know why people still doubt the new 5.0 Stang, heck even guys on this forum still do.
I have a Steeda CAI, Evolution Performance Tune (93 octane) and catback Magna flow exhaust.
My last track day was 12.3@114mph.

Several months ago some guy in a C-6 pulled up next to me wanted to run. We were doing 50mph at the time so I looked over at my girlfriend (now wife) who just looked back at me and said "take him" and with that I dropped the car out of over drive which spun up my Paxton and then I went to about half throttle and pull 3 1/2 cars on him right off the bat. After that he did not want any more of me LOL!

Whelp, it looks like this thread finally got moved to street/strip! Oh well.
Anyway, with a GT500, modded at that, I cannot see too many stock 'Vettes hanging with it. Unless you happen to run into one of those supercharged 'Vette trims.

The only time I ever raced one at the dragstrip, it was an LS2 A6 w/ a CAI, and I believe he trapped 112ish in ~0' DA. He wasn't a very good driver though. Only pulled off a 12.9. So, I guess it probably could've trapped higher.

That low 12, 114 mph run on a tune is pretty wild. That trap is getting all up in the LS3 Vettes face, but if I had to bet on either car trapping higher, I'd have to agree with BB. I've mostly witnessed LS3 Vettes in the mid teens. I guess it would be safe to call it a driver's race.
