I guess you have not heard about the Z06. Let us know when the viper can do better than a 11.3 at 127 mph in the 1/4 mile and lap the ring in 7:42. Besides, why waste your time signing up for this forum and start things when you don't know s*it. Even the z51 outran the viper around the race track in the last head to head test.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Seriously, feel free to look, but do not touch. School will be back in, by the latest (accounting for a possible school holiday) on Monday and he'll be off his mom's computer and back in study hall dreaming about when he too can drive. And maybe even kiss a real girl.

So what your saying is, that the Viper in "STOCK" form cannot beat the "STOCK" Vette. We here on the CORVETTE FORUM totally agree with you.

I guess you are getting your information somewhere other then me. My latest Car and Driver has the new Viper Coupe roadtest. According to them, the quarter takes 12.5 seconds at 117mph. The previous issue happened to have a Z06 roadtest that ran the quarter in 11.7@125mph. Last I checked, 11.7@125 was quicker AND faster then 12.5@117mph. Not to mention $69,995 (as tested) is still cheaper then $86,995 (as tested). Hell, I could get a Z06 and a new Harley for the price of a Viper! Please take your small pee pee and return to www.Viperalley.com

Why do I not feel comfortable giving John Hennessey $225,000? Oh yeah, maybe it's because of all the Hennessey Viper customers who had to go pick up thier cars on flatbeds because they got ripped off when he took thier money and never finished thier cars. I know his name is not even allowed to be mentioned on the Viper Club of America website or else it is stared out. Lots of bad blood there. No thanks. You can keep your overprice penial extension.
