Raped! Nice video...didn't see the vette at all in the first video so I figured you must have killed him. Second video clearly shows why he was absent from the first. 
Don't know anything about the C5..

Stock C5 Corvettes aren't really that fast as far I know. It's only the C6 Vettes especially the ones with the LS3 V8s that should be able to pull on you since you're stock. The LS3 V8 stock by itself in a lightweight Vette is FAST.

This. The '07+ C6s' made some big jumps in power and speed over the previous years C6...and the last model years of the C5. I have no problem with the C5 and first year C6, but once the LS3 got dropped in I have to work for my food.

From what I've seen, most SRT6's are low 13 sec cars stock. They dont run solid mid-high 12s like an LS2 does. Several people on the forums have even run low 12s in a stock LS2 C6.
OP, nice kill. Stock Non-Z06 C5's should be easy work for an E55 as seen in your vids. .

No argument here. It's just that I am not stock and I haven't run into a equivalent mod for mod LS2 C6. The ones I have run into were all stock C5, C5Z06, or LS2 C6.
..but again, no argument from me. Mod for mod, a V8 will be a V6 every time. No replacement for displacement.
