I don't know about stock Z's being faster than stock LS1's. I know there are factory freaks from every brand but generally 6 speed ls1's put down 305-320rwhp bone stock. My last 2000 SS was 100% stock when I bought it with 70k miles and I put down 307/331. A set of headers (longtubes), cat-back, and intake and it put down 355/360 on 2 different dyno's a few months apart. The Z's are impressive, but stock for stock it's not what you think.

IDK...stock ls1 vs stock Z is pretty evenly match...when i had my 370z i would run a few of my friends stock ls1 at track days and it was almost identical outcomes, dig or roll...only problem is when the LS mods its game over h/c LS1 is nasty

based soley on numbers and not driver the LS1 has less hp stock than a Z 320 vs. 332 ... the torque is much higher with the V8 obviously.

The 1/4 specs are approximately 13.7... most people would don't drive all that great can muster a 13.7 with a Z and then we have the few with high 12 and low 13 second passes... you also have to factor in the weight of each with the Z being about 150-200 lbs lighter or so I guess?
