Default vette vs viper video

Come on,why would you use a vette with clutch problems
Also ,get a vette with comparable hp the weight issue of the viper is its problem ,so you dont go with lower hp to equal them both. This really needs to be redone Am i not understanding something here ?

I think both vehicles should be totally stock.
It would be more interesting to see how they perform right out of the box.

Would have been nice to see 2 stock cars compared with better drivers. Neither of those drivers were that great. I was shocked at how fast the viper came back on the drag strip. It was fast. I'd like to see the ZR1 run against a viper. That would be a good race.
