Default That pesky Viper TA tried some Italian food, instead of C7Z

I was supposed to run another C7 Z06 (Z07), but the car was still getting paint protection film installed and was tied up on a lift. So, the Z06 owner brought out one of his other toys instead, a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4. We both figured the Huracan would walk away from the Viper, since most magazines are seeing 10.5 @ 135 mph out of these cars. But, I put on my best driver's hat, and that throttle pedal never came off the floor mat - even during shifts. It was able to match the shifting of the dual-clutch automatics today, in both the Huracan and the Ferrari 458. Call me old school, I still like to shift myself.

Anyways, enjoy! We'll line up the Z07 later on this week.

What does this have to do with the C7Z? It is the same car that broke the internet last week, by beating the C7Z. I figured some of you would like to see how the exact same car, does against other fast cars, for comparison's sake. Many of you thought the C7Z just wasn't driven right. That excuse doesn't apply against these two exotics.

The C7Z part 2 will happen. Go have a beer, relax a bit.

And for those who prefer to race magazine articles, here is the research I found for you:

10.5 @ 135 Lambo Huracan
10.9 @ 131 Ferrari 458
11.2 @ 129 SRT Viper

Just proving that magazine articles don't guarantee wins, and that manual cars can still be shifted well.

Wow - I don't understand the complaining? This actually helps the C7 Z06 look much better in my opinion.

As Tony said - that was the point - to show a comparison with other powerful cars - not simply to highlight his car lol...

Nicely done Tony I really expected it to lose by about a car to the Huracan but walk the 458. Glad to see it did a little better than expected.

Actually, you just made a great point. The C7Z looks comparable to those two super cars. Not bad!

Also, I find it funny how easily Nineball can create so much butt hurt from other members on the forum. Don't mind the haters Nineball, keep on doing what you do.

Another stupid thread about children drag racing on a public freeway.

It's incredibly impressive to watch unskilled DB's roll race on the highway. WOW! Look at how fast that guy is... When will the cops eventually take the driving privileges away from these idiots before someone gets hurt or killed? These are the people that give hi-po car owners a bad rap.

Hey guys, if you're so anxious to impress forum members, why not rent a track and show off your driving skills?

As long as we're posting vids, here are just a handful of other recent ones to enjoy...

You're obviously quite taken with yourself.

Broke the Internet? Hardly. Annoyed a lot of people who want to discuss the Z06 troll-free? Definitely.

The only thing you've done is to encourage a bunch of fanbois of other cars to find a friendly place here to dump on the Z06.

As someone who has been a member of this site for many years, I find your posts to be nothing but self-aggrandized rubbish.

I could care less about your Viper, because frankly it has nothing to do with this website, not to mention its ugly appearance taints this site.

Please take this crap and put it on a Viper forum, where the significantly smaller membership there will appreciate it.
