That what Brighthouse Network has listed in the Tampa Bay Area also. But if you go the the Speed web site it does list the Dodge Viper and the ZR1 tonight. I will be watching at 10 pm just to be safe.

OMG, did you see the Vette fly past the Viper on the standing mile. The Viper had him by at least 2 car lengths from the start but the Vette walked him down and blew past him during the last 100m.

Meh, they made it look a lot closer than it really was. Paul is a better driver than Tanner which made the last race a lot closer. The Vette crushed the Viper in every way.

maybe a better show was if they switched cars for each trial - both do both cars - then it would be the about the car more than the driver
trash talk is kid stuff - HP rules
How would a supercharged Z06 do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Watching this episode was a heck of a lot more fun than reading a Viper ACR vs Corvette ZR1 thread in the ZR1 section. Those guys really got wound up. Viper and ZR1 are very close. Sad to note that the Viper is no longer being produced.

Wouldn't you love to be in the passenger seat for this one. Loved the show. Nothin like a few ponies to get the blood pumpin. I'm sure a lot of the trash talkin is for the cameras.

Just caught the last 10 minutes of the show with the one-mile race. I have Comcast cable. They don't have this particular show on their On-Demand yet, so will look for it on the Speed Channel website. Nothing like watching it in full 1080 HD on my 61' Sammy, though.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the cars were less evenly matched than it appeared. Doesn't the ZR1 have launch control? If so why didn't Tanner use it in the 0-60
0-100-0 and standing mile?

Bad Drivers and driver styles.
A good driver, would never drift a car, one it is just slower, and two it is bad driving style.
Maybe great showmanship and TV Viewers love it, but still is crap driving.
