A Bone stock Corvette runs 10s???

A stock Z06 with drag radials runs 10s. Folks these cars can be had for $40Gs in the used car market right now(that's a much as a fully optioned 2ss). Still a SUPERCAR BARGAIN!!!!!

Nice, but drag radials mean it is not "bone stock"

Z06 is an awesome car no doubt. I know that DR aren't stock ,but that's still very impressive. Also, what other car runs that fast with DRs alone. Not too many and the ones that do cost a lot more than a Z06.

Oh, I agree, very impressive. I gues it is just a pet peave for me when someone calls something "bone stock" and goes to list even 1 modification.

There are number/fact fudgers in every crowd.

I'm a little confused as to where the OP has been for the last 5 years though...

I think mineshaft air and a superbly executed launch could propel a '13+ Gt500 into the 10's, but it'll take more work than for the Z. Damn 3800 pound hog.

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

See that GT500 guy on here with the video of a mid 9 second pass. Said he had drag radials only when the video clearly showed full drag wrinkle wall slicks with the white lettering scrubbed off.

Ranger and a few others have consistantly run record times with bone stock manual cars for years......they are the very few that can launch and shift like 99.9% can't (I am one of them that cant come close to what they can) so there are no gimmicks or games, these are real #'s with tons that have witnessed them over the years, and Rnger has how-to videos and step by step instructions on a website for any manual owner wanting to run quicker.
