Its a 13 flat car at 111ish. It is only a little quicker than the average 4th gen due to all of the weight. A strong running 4th gen will keep up for a while but I would expect teh 5th gen to pass...

That car would get drug by a stock C6 from a roll at the speed described. It took an aftermarket turbo upgrade on one to pull my basic bolt-on 6 speed LS1 from a roll (closed course).
