This is a nice issue. The slowest car in one article is the C6 Z06!

All of the cars have much to improve for et. The thousand horsepower LPE C6 ran a 11.9 at 134.1. They kept the cars equal with the same driver, so the skill level is the same and the driver obviously weighs the same. It was on an airstrip, not a prepped track. I haven't read the entire article yet, but I could imagine the 60 fts and 1/8 times were also not impressive. However, the speeds in the standing mile are.
Hennessey(Viper)- 218
LPE(C6)- 212
Accufabe(Gt 40)- 194
MTI(GTO)- 193
ZO6- 174
Livernois(Stang)- 174
On BFGoodrich DOT Drag Radials, the LPE C6 ran an 11.1 at 151. In another article with slicks, a similar LPE C5 ran a 9.0 @ 153.6.
The Viper ran a 11.7 @ 138.7 on radials, 10.5 @152 on drag radials, and in another article with slicks it ran a 9.5. It picked up 13 mph with drag radials.
I really like the wheels on the Porsche in this issue.
