Anyway, the new 645hp Viper will be getting some of that, but, the Vette will still have more power under the curve!
Good seeing you today Jack, nice car and yours!

Is that right John?? They added 5 horsepower to the 15 models?? I guess no changes they just re-certified it???

For your info the Viper is manual also so there is no disadvantage for the vette here.Whats your logic behind making a statement like that?Both cars are on an even playing field.

Apparently the only time the Viper wins is when Nineball is driving. All other videos are of Vipers getting owned. Funny how the Texas crowd has the only Vipers that can pull a Z06.

10-12 seconds then wait in line 20 minutes or longer....

Right up there with stop light to stop light. Which is gone with todays high power machines. Otherwise the 1/8-1/4 mile is bragging rights for traction contest. Hard on parts need special tires
to do it right.
When the side by side roll race really is the true test of the how fast a car is.

I'm not impressed with either car's performance on _that particular pass_. Since that is the only pass recorded here...I'll leave it at that.

That was on drag radials. If you want to compare drag radials a hellkitty just posted a 10.4 timeslip in another section.

This thread needs to be moved to the other car section of the forum!

That TA time was slow. The A8 Z06 will go 10's stock for sure.

That time is being questioned. He picked up 7mph in trap speed with just drag radials. That is simply almost impossible. Something is boosting the power.

This is why roll racing is an accurate way to determine which car is faster.It takes the drivers equation out of it. NineBall has proven SO FAR that the Gen V Viper is faster compared to the Z06.

There is a video of the hellcat challenger running 10.80's@126 on drag radials which was posted a month ago. They actually struggled without the drag radials just like the rest of the super cars.

Really, I owned every one of your Z06's that day. You guys are talking a lot of ****. Maybe we need to setup another track day. The Viper crowd is always down to play.

Drag racing on a good day and the SC is going to win!

You realize in stock form on non drag radials ( the race everyone wanted to see) the silver 10.9 car I think placed 3rd behind two TA's.

And this is the same Vette in the hellcat vid.

From what I read it was running 109oct fuel but according to the wright up no tune just DR and 109oct and well prepped track...either way even if it was tuned 10.4 at 133.5 mph with a 4400lbs car is amazing.
