Interesting, as the current Corvette is the C6--there's no such thing as a C7. I think you're looking at stats for a base, non-Z06 C6 with the Z51 suspension package.

Per Car and Driver, 12/05: Stock Z06 0 - 60 mph: 3.4 seconds. 1/4 mile: 11.8 at 125 mph.

I've owned several Cobra replicas, big and small-block, and have driven a C5 Z06 on the track and my own 420 rwhp '99 'Vette on the street. The Cobra is a wonderful car for a cruise, and is fine for straight-line bursts of speed, but the 'Vette is simply a superior high-performance car. Hell, it's got to be--it's got forty years of technology over a Cobra.
