I'm due to race this guy this Saturday. This race has been instigated among co-workers ever since i got the car so I've got to atleast give it a shot. Guy claims completely stock. I'm pretty much stock aside from CAI, exhaust, and diablo tune. Any tips/suggestions to help me gain the edge!?

Get some Drag Radials and run him from a dig and that should give you the edge. Pullied will get him for sure, but with your mods I think it's pretty even, so Drag Radials will give you the edge if he's on street tires.

One of my favorite vids, he also has another video of his cobra vs a full exhaust z06 and thats basically a drivers race.

That's not the time for a Z06, they run 12.5-12.7 at 113+mph depending on the source. This website says 12.6 Link

Wrong. They can get anything higher than that but can get down to as low as 11.783 depending on the driver. Avg would be right around 12.0 with avg speed at 117/118 mph.

Uhhh, no. 12.0 will not be the average for a C5 Z06. I say 12.2-12.5.

The fastest times and traps are not the average but good try :)

I'm running nt555r's. 17/35/315 out back. Thanks for all the input guys. I was kinda iffy especially considering I'm 500lbs heavier but it seems i have a better shot than i thought.

Good, your TQ and Drag Radials should pull you ahead enough on the hit, so all you should have to do is maintain your lead. I don't see any chance of him reeling you in. I think he'll be surprised at how much of a difference DRs make compared to street tires.

OP, practice your launching and shifting as this should be a close race!!

I went 12.7 @ 113 stock in mine with a 2.05 60'.

Go from a dig and hope he can't drive. From a roll... My money's on the Z06.
