Bone stock 95 RT/10s turn around 13.0 with and average driver and typical track conditions. Same being said of an 02 z06? About 12.6 sec .

Re: 02 Z06 vs Viper (ERIC JORDAN)
I've yet to see an average Z06 driver go 12.6 this summer. Most average Z06 drivers go about 13.0 when the temps get up in the mid to high 80s.
I have a good amount of drag racing experience and the fastest I have been able to go in my stock Z06 this summer in the heat is 12.8 with a 2.0 60' time. I stepped into the brother's GenII GTS on the same day and went 12.3 on my very first try.

A stock Z06 will not really go faster than that at Raceway Park in Englishtown during the recent summer heat. I wish they would.

Re: 02 Z06 vs Viper (ragvette)
Ragvette,
I sold a 96 RT/10 to get my 02 Z06. Assuming the 95 Vip is stock, the Z06 should take it in straight line and track performance. Mostly it is simple HP to weight. The Z has essentially the same HP, a bit less torque, but is about 250 to 300 lbs lighter. Mods to intake and exhaust alone on the Vip could change the outcome. Weight loss is not that easy. A Gen 2 Viper is an altogether different story.

A small point...in a race between two cars with a lot of power and limited traction, the better driver will usually win, which ever car he/she is driving.
