I agree.

But, I'd also get a tune, then add a pair of Nitto's....

I did 5/6 second gear roll ons with a Viper from 60mph. Strong car....first to get the hit stayed out front.

All in the saftey of a closed course.......

My 2010 made the = of 584 HP/528 TQ flywheel according to a mustang dyno with Halltech MF103 and Corsa mufflers if this helps. Then we have the weight advantage.

Also, ask for a fair race with both of you running street tires, drag radials, slicks. as long as you both have the equivalent of the same tire.

This guy I know's z06 with headers/cai and 484whp lost by 2-3 car lengths to a stock 08 Viper.

its on youtube "2008 Viper SRT-10 Coupe vs. 2007 C6 Z06"

WOT box and power shifting it will keep you door to door. When all else fails, hundred shot. No question about the outcome there. I'd say screw it and dig race. No traction control in the Viper. You should kill him everytime...as long as you know how to drive.

Ask "Ranger" to drive your car for you and as they say "That's that"!

no but seriously, it should be close with a slight edge to the viper just for the fact that even though it is 200Lbs heavier it has 100hp more and more torque. if you guys have = driving skills then the winner should be him. If you drove like the famous "Ranger" then you'd be seeing your friends Viper in the rear view.

take him to a road course instead.

No, redline is at 7000.

7100 is 'hey dummy, redline was at 7000, now I'm turning stuff off/down so you don't blow me up', AKA 'fuel cutoff'.

The Viper is only a tenth or two faster. C&D has a good write-up of these cars, head-to-head a few years ago. Why don't you sneak a CAI and a tune on your car? Then I'd bet on the Z for sure.

The Viper is a very good road course car and easier to drive at the limit.

Just an observation I personally have seen. Every dyno sheet I have seen it shows the z losing power after 6800-6900 rpm. If you shift at about 6800 then it prob will get up to 6900 or 7000 before the shift. On the power curve I see the power drop. Now this is just my observation and I set my shift light to 6800. Can anyone post their dyno sheet to show this?

Get your heads done because your going to have to get it done anyway and do a cam and your set.

Whoever has the better (newer, stickier, etc.) set of tires...

1000%. I just sold my 2006 C6 Z06 for a 2009 Viper Coupe, just 3 weeks ago, having owned my C6 Z for 3.25 years. The 2008-10 SRT 10 Vipers with their 600HP and 560 ft lbs of torque are a little bit faster on paper in just about every performance category, BUT, they are close and definitely a driver's race.

TT32VGT

jump on the second honk lol. no really let us know what happens.. and if ya lose, no biggie do a cam and heads and blow him away

camirocz

they are going from 40 mph and what about the viper s traction problems?It makes a lot more torque than the vette and will spin even more.The race should be a very close one.Rolling races dont require that much skill,all you do is put the pedal down wait for 7000 rpm and shift.No big deal.The standing start is where this race would be won or lost but this is irrelevant since they are going from a roll.

FrankTank

Jimmy is spot on here, and having literally just traded his Z06 for his 09 Viper he's got a very accurate perception having now driven both cars back to back recently.
