I think the biggest factor is driving skill.

It's hard to do 10s in a Z06 on DRs the finicky LS7 clutch, but it's been done.

Even with a prepared set-up capable of a hard launch, the driving still needs to be well dialed-in to it 10s.

Brent first, then I was able to run 10's in a c5Z with rwhp 396rwhp-419rwhp about 10 times. Stock weight plus rollbar 3.90 gears,headers, baby cam and etstreets.
You should do it all motor. A few minor mods and some seatime and your right there.(Maybe gears and intake mani.)

Default How much power is needed to break 10's ??

There are many factors involved. Horsepower is only one of them. I ran my first 10 in my 346 A4 N/A C5 with 417 rwhp.
