A friend of mine (and former student) broke the track record at ThunderHill recently.
This is how to go fast in a C5.

I'm surprised he cut the fans out for better cooling. 366 rwhp? That doesn't seem like a lot for racing, honestly. Is it class limited? Is it basically a stock z06 motor? Other than the dry sump what is done?

All those stickers and not one says corvetteguru.com

Bill broke the NASA records in TTS & TTU, NASA has a power to weight formula for the engines. Some areo mods (wing) and suspension mods are allowed.

He also broke the SCCA T1 (Touring 1) record.
Pretty much a stock motor requried. With:

GM Motorsports T1 suspension pkg. (Part # 12480062) is
permitted. Parts for Z06 upgrade: LS6 Engine Assy.: P/N
88894057, Engine components if using LS1 block: LS6 cylinder
head: P/N 12560801, LS6 intake manifold: P/N 88890524 or
12480075, LS6 camshaft: P/N 12560950, LS6 valve springs:
P/N 12565117, LS6 valve shims: P/N 12565118, Lifter valley
cover: P/N 12568002, PCM: P/N 12200411, LH Exh manifold:
P/N 12561255, RH Exh manifold: P/N 12561256. C-5 exhaust
system may be modified to mate to Z06 exhaust manifolds.
Cage attachments points may be on the frame. Floor may be
modified to facilitate installation of cage mounting plates. Wrapping
of tie-rod ends to shield heat is permitted. This max. tire
supersedes TCS 9.1.10.D.7.b. C6 calipers permitted. Alternate
wheel bearings SKF Part # BAR 5049C permitted. OEM
or equivalent carbon fiber hood is allowed. The stock exhaust
manifolds may be replaced with any headers that connect to
the catalytic converters or to the converter replacement pipes
allowed in 9.1.10.D.1.h without other modification to the exhaust
system. The header may replace the catalytic converter
replacement pipes. Entire parking brake assembly (including interior
lever) may be removed. The A.I.R air pump system may
be removed.

I'm not fimiliar with this car, he also has a blue C5 Z06 with coilovers, full cage, etc. which I've driven.
