The SRT-10 will out brake and have higher cornering limits than the Z, while the vette is slightly quicker in a straight line. i just looked through my old mags sept '06 Road and Track

How do you figure the Viper has more grip?
In 2005, Automobile magazine tested the Z06 and clocked off a 1.09 g in lateral acceleration. I don't think I have EVER seen those numbers for the Viper.
And as far as the Viper handling better, again, how do you figure? Most tests have the Z06 ahead around the track, with some going to the Viper and a few tied.
And as far as a straight line, the Z06 is not just "slightly" quicker than the current Viper. Not stock for stock. From a 50-150 roll, the Z06 would be siginificantly ahead of the Viper (4-5 cars). From a dig, its .4 secs and about 4 mph faster. That is not close in my book.
