Yeah..no. Base Corvettes were running high-12s ten years ago. A few owners have run high-11s at 117-119 MPH in bone stock '08 or '09 base Corvettes, but on average they run 12.2-12.4 @ 116-118 MPH. As per the list on another site, the top-5 fastest supercharged 350Zs will only be able to keep up with an LS3 Corvette.

Showroom Stock LS3 runs 11.7!!!! New Record! - Corvette Forum

There was a guy with the handle "Ranger" who ran 11.9's at 117ish in a C5 Z06... those only had 405 hp or so. Vette's are downright nasty.

Every now and then I wish I got one over the Z because I want that kind of 115+ mph trapping power.

2 bad GM always cheaps on on interior though. Even the 80k vettes alway look lacking to me for the price--It has always baffled me

That's really one of the only reasons I didn't go for the 'Vette. I felt like the Z was the better built of the two... interior quality on the Z just blows the 'Vette away... but the power of that LS3 is such a rush!

I know I'm not going to be happy with the Z until 400whp or so.

I'd go twin screw over TVS anyday so long as it's not roots(which TVS IS). Go positive displacement less heat, less horsepower to drive, and oh yeah a whipple 140ax can push 600 at the wheels with a boost line flat at 25psi from 1.5-8k rpms. Maybe then the kit won't suck like the last 4 lobe roots crap blower they used.

This is true. I loved Whipples for the Mustangs.

My 1996 LT4 ran 12.71 @ 111.98 on stock tires with just headers and exhaust. With a 12.5 to 1 398ci stroker motor, it ran 10.83 @ 132.5. Biggest problem was tracks would not let me run because it did not have a roll bar.

Rented a new LS3 out in CA a couple of weeks ago...... the real deal and much, much faster than my modded Z. With full bolt-ons my Z makes 317 at the wheel. Look at what a stock LS3 with headers makes.
