This isn't a direct race between the two obviously but the best mag tested times which should give a decent indication of the comparable speed.

Eh, mag times are worthless. My friend ran a 12.9 in his stock '98, and I have seen several mag articles where Z28's ran 12.8's.
I raced 2 different 2010 Camaro SS 6-speed cars numerous times and from 60-130 and 55-110 (different conditions for the 2 cars I ran) my 2001 was dead-even with both. Magazine numbers would have you think my 2001 would have gotten stomped with all those supposed "110+" trap speeds those 2010 SS's are laying down.
I am interested in a real-world occurance.
Cars I ran in the real world:
Automatic LS1 Z28 with headers, lid, gears (edged me out by a fender from highway punch to 110 or so. If my fatass gf hadn't been in the car I coulda had him I think. Every 100# is 10whp!)
C5 'vettes (always even)
Challenger R/T (slaughtered it)
2010 Mustang GT (slaughtered it)
Z4 ///M (close race, but I out-powered the much better driven car, That girl p'owned me at shifting, but was PISSED at the outcome)
996 911 Carrera (Edged it out even in the wrong gear. 4th gear at 60 and I still walked that dog.)
SO yeah, magazine numbers don't mean much to me, I want to know what happens in the real world when the two meet. I sold my WS6 before I got a chance to run one, but being as I killed a 265whp 350Z 6-speed, I figure the 370 isn't as fast as the car I just got rid of.
The reason it matters is I am warring with a C6Z and a 370Z. yeah, I know they are 2 different cars, but they carry 2 differnt types of car-notes. If the 370Z is out there stomping all over LS1 cars, I might re-think my draw to the C6Z, I doubt it, but I figured I would ask as I never got a chance to see for myself.
What amazes me is all the magazine times saying the 400+hp mustang GT is slower than the Camaro Ss past 100mph when my LS1 was killing the 300hp GT's by only a couple of cars after 100 and is dead-even with the Camaro SS. See what I mean about magazine racing? 100whp is worth only 1-2 cars if I want to mag-race.
