ORIGINAL: 2000GT4.6
I dunno about a cam, but I just cannot see that car doing what it did to me. I didn't bother to shift into 4th, as it was getting dangerous at the speeds we were at (for that location) but he was starting to pull more on me.
For reference, I ran 12.40@114 on spinning nittos (what I had today).
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a C5 Z06 won't run a high 11 or anything close to it bone stock... its only 400 flywheel horsepower.
You sure your not thinking of a C6?

Thats what I was thinking.
Guy has to be bull****ing about being stock. I know that a set of LTs/midpipe/catback can do wonders for the car.
It sounded louder than stock, but it was hard to tell if it had a stock catback, just had the 4 tips (round) but I didn't get to look over the car or anything.
I ended up talking to him at a line at a bank teller window, I shoulda got out and looked under the car lol.

A guy namede Ranger has drivin a bone stockC5 ZO6 to a very high 11, this is not the norm. In the hands ofa compitent driver they are a low-mid 12 car. They have a bigger cam and better flowing heads than a regular C5, also they are lighter. The cat back and mufflers are titainum, they are fixed roof cars, which saves some weight.

RE: C5 Z06?
Well, if they run low 12s then its pretty much dead on. I spun some in first (I didn't at the track) and spun lots in 2nd (I did at the track) and ran a 12.40, so I guess it sounds dead on.
I need some weight reduction and a shortblock, gonna have to start a fake charity or something.

Steve Bauer drove a bone stock 2004 Z06 to an 11.9 @ 118 while doing a story for GN High Tech Performance. The air was cool and he knows how to drive.
