Putting gears on a viper will make you hit 5th at 125-130 mph, where te Z06 will be in 4th gear... guess who is going to get pulled?

Depends on what gears you put in the Viper. The Z06 and the GEN3 Viper have almost identical trans ratios. At 121 mph on the track , I am on the edge of 3rd and barely hitting 4th. 3.55's will put you in the middle of 4th as you cross the line.
