A stock C6 (a mn6 or A6) and stock 03/04 Cobra I think are very, very close in performance. Given equal drivers, same day, same track, the C6 will probably come out slightly ahead. There are now a couple of folks to have run 12.2's@115.XX in bone stock C6's in the 1/4 mile. These were done at good tracks in great weather.
Now that I've some mods (headers, cat-back, rockers, tune) for 397rwhp/387rwtq SAE, it's about the equal to my 03 Cobra when it had a 2.9 pulley, making 440rwhp; the whole weight advantage thing. I've compared timeslips and my C6 is slightly faster but I have more seat time in it. Never ran my Cobra with the port job at the track but after some seat time and high speed runs, a C6 is going to need at least a medium to large cam on top of my mods to keep up. The Steig port job was almost like putting a new blower on the car, it was simply a different beast. Much more effecient. The only mod better would have been a twin-screw blower. You will like it, I gaurantee it.
Wasted a WS6 tonight 
(driving like a granny..not shifting over 5000 just to play with him). i slow down and it takes him a few seconds to FLY by me and whip around and cut me off and about wreck me. i pull up beside him and asks what i have done i told him a ported blower and he said he was stock...at least he told me i had a nice car, as he drives slow anticipating another race, so i drop down into 3rd and leave him again. cant wait to get my pulleys. (sorry long story)
