Mone went 13.4 stock before I did anything to it. I have even seen people run low 14's stock depending on conditions. I had a 98 with the short length manifold, exhaust, throtlle body, reflash, 3.73 gears, lots of suspensions mods - all the bolt on stuff. Best run was a 12.90 at 114. Depending on the car and how good the driver is, it could be close. Factory wheel horesepower and stock is actually pretty close between the two, as is weight. If you have a piggyback, you'll likely win though. I disagree with the Fbody dying at 80 though - mine was a beast up to about 130 or so when the GM aerodynamics were flapping, and in my case I was starting to run out of legs. It was actually better from about 30-40 on up, since anything below that you couldn't hook. I even had 315's on mine, and it was a joke trying to hook. If you go from a dig, you have an advantage for sure there, but up high he might pull pretty hard.


My M6 01 WS6 went 12.7 @108 mph with a 1.82 60' when it was bone stock except for 315 street tires. I've seen them (with my own eyes, not internet racing) go as low as 12.3 with DR's (if the 10 bolt held). Granted this was at a negative DA the night it went 12.7. I never took it back stock since I put longtubes and a 12 bolt with 4.10's the day after.

There's only one way to find out, but my $100 is still on the F-body.
