I wonder if by "bone stock" they mean no INTERNAL engine mods? The Z06 is a beast in factory trim however to run those numbers Id think sum computer tuning and exhaust work would still qualify it as "bone stock" and still enable it to turn in those times. For sure the drag radials are capable of handling a 10 sec car. All I can say is I hope he dont come hunting for my MonteSS. LOL!

Z06
 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - Road Tests 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 With 505 horsepower, this must be the golden age of the Corvette.
BY LARRY WEBSTER, PHOTOGRAPHY BY JIM FETS GM wants the world to know that it can take on the best of Europe with the new 505-hp Z06, the fastest Corvette the company has ever produced. To make that point, GM held the first press drive of this American sports car in Europe. The three-day tour began in Germany, headed west to Belgium, and then southwest for Paris. Along the way we did a handful of laps at the Nürburgring's Formula 1 track, a 3.2-mile course that's next to the famous 12.9-mile Nordschleife course, and at Spa, a 4.3-mile road course in Belgium that has the hairiest downhill-uphill series of three wicked turns we've ever sweated through. That section, called Eau Rouge, provided the biggest thrills of what was basically an uneventful tour. Europeans gawked at the car and seemed to applaud it. They likely were unaware that they were witnessing the arrival of a car that exposes the majority of European sports cars for what they are: overpriced, underperforming snobs. The Z06 starts at $65,800. It is the most powerful and expensive model in the Vette lineup and, interestingly, the lightest. Usually, the best-performing car in any model lineup is the beefiest, because adding horsepower generally means fortifying other parts of the car to withstand the strain caused by big power. The Z06's expanded power comes from a new pushrod 7.0-liter V-8 engine. Except for the titanium connecting rods and intake valves, there's nothing in this engine's parts list to suggest that it's a monster motor. The genius here is in the details, with careful attention paid to maximum airflow and valvetrain weight and stiffness. The result is a big engine that revs like a small one to 7000 rpm with a 6300-rpm horsepower peak. The torque curve is wide and flat with more than 400 pound-feet available between 2400 and 6400 rpm. To handle an engine that could twist a maple tree like a washrag, Chevy beefed up the rear axle, the six-speed manual transmission, and the clutch, and installed wider wheels and larger brakes. The idea, according to assistant chief engineer Tadge Juechter, was to create a robust platform that could deal with the stresses and heat of the big motor. To that end, the team also added coolers for every fluid except brake fluid and enlarged the radiator. To maintain oil pressure during sustained high-g cornering maneuvers, they also installed a dry-sump oil system on the engine. Engine oil is usually carried in a deep pan that hangs on the bottom of the engine, but a dry-sump system uses a shallow pan and an external oil reservoir. Oil capacity is eight quarts for the Z06 versus 5.5 for the base car. Under the Skin of the Z06 Take an interactive look at the comprehensive attention to detail that makes the Z06 remarkable.All the new bits added about 100 pounds to the base 3288-pound, 400-hp Vette, a figure that wouldn't burden the Z06's power, which had been increased by 105 horses. But to Chevy's credit, the team trimmed fat like the best Hollywood plastic surgeon. The headliner in the weight-loss program is the aluminum frame that weighs 136 pounds, w

Tuners: 2007 Vortech Corvette Z06 Added pressure makes for a Z-oh!-6
By John Kiewicz

The C6 Z06 clubs nearly everything in its path. With 505 horsepower produced from a hand-assembled 7.0-liter LS7 V-8, the Z06 easily outpaces the mighty 8.3-liter Viper SRT-10 Coupe-which has made the Dodge boys quite angry. In response, SRT will soon release its super-strength 2008 Viper shod with a new 8.4-liter V-10 that cranks out 600 hellspawned horses. The gloves are off and the fight is on.  
Rather than being outgunned by Mopar, Z06 owners can now gear up with more power thanks to a booster shot of bolt-on performance from Vortech Engineering. Known for making big top-end power, Vortech produces a variety of centrifugal superchargers that cram heaping helpings of added oxygen into an engine for impressive power gains. In the case of the new Z06, Vortech has just put the final touches on a kit featuring its latest V-2 SQ T-trim centrifugal supercharger, which delivers 6 psi of boost to the LS7 V-8. The SQ design stands for "Super Quiet." Gone is the obnoxiously loud gear whine associated with most centrifugal superchargers. Rather, at idle and cruise speeds, the blower is nearly silent-so as not to give away your forced-induction secret. The Vortech kit ($6695, satin finish; $6995, polished finish) offers everything needed for installation, including a T-trim supercharger, air-to-air aluminum intercooler, compressor bypass valve, aluminum mounting brackets and hardware, high-flow fuel pump, oversize fuel injectors, and even a specially programmed Diablo Sports handheld programmer to reflash the factory computer with the proper spark/fuel calibrations. The result is an LS7 engine that cranks out a dyno-proven 635 horses (35 more than the upcoming 8.4-liter Viper's), while sipping 91-octane pump fuel. In addition, the 50-state smog-legal kit is optionally available with a three-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty through Vortech's network of top-tier installers and new-car dealers. 
Enough tech talk, how does the Vortech kit perform? The answer is simple: too well. Fit to a bone-stock Z06 (tires, exhaust, suspension, etc.), the output is so substantial the car has a hard time taking off. Laughable amounts of rear tirespin occur in first gear, even with part throttle application. In fact, our best quarter-mile launch resulted when bogging the V-8 off the line at 1400 rpm and then short-shifting the 1-2 shift at 4400 rpm-before big boost hit. In second gear, the stock Goodyear Eagle F1 325
