The manual ones will be low 12's-high 11's. They are basically faster than the 405 hp C5 ZO6, and those were low 12 cars in the hands of a good driver. The LS3 C6 has more hp, less weight and better aerodynamics than a C5 ZO6.

12.8 ish is what an auto, poor geared LS2 Vette will run, stick LS2's are running mid 12's (12.4-12.6). The new LS3's 6 speeds are faster than the old C5 ZO6, which was a mid-low 12 car with a few having hit 11.9 stock.

That's odd, I have been hearing they weigh a bit less, but I have not put both on a scale so I can only go by what people are telling me. If I am wrong it won't be the first time.
