If this driver is competent, Tornado would get beat from a dig and even more so from a roll (no offense, Bigturbos, but you need practice..  . With 2 competent, equally skilled drivers, it would take MORE than 20 rwhp for the Viper to be even with the Z06. Like ALWAYS, I will offer ANY MI located stock 03-06 Viper to a race from a roll and from a dig against my Z06 before I put my mods on it.
And as far as the 06's beng faster than all other models, we will see. I ran an 11.5 in my 06 Z06 @ 125 mph, and I will drag my 08 when I get it before I get my cam package on it. I will be running it on the same track (but more than likely, different conditions). |
Fadi..We didnt just do a 120ish mph 1/4 mile..We went from a dead stop to 140 mph twice...If his car was faster then from 120-140 mph he would have started pulling away in 4th gear...
Did he beat me before on the freeway by 1-2 cars in the past...YES...Did i just change my plugs/wires/coil packs and tighten up many loose roller rockers that had come so loose that they threw the SES light and the car wouldnt dyno past 330 rwhp...YES...
from 0-140 mph we were dead even twice now that my cars 100%.....And Im only pushing 470ish rwhp.....
But You have to remember that BigTurbos is a 270 pound man and he's driving a 3200 pound 2007 Z06...
A feather weight like you at 180 pounds and with a 3130 pound 2006 Z06...Well Id probally need another 15 rwhp to run dead even with you....
You ran an 11.5 at 125 mph right...Well now add 70 more pounds if you had a 2007 Z06...You'd run a 11.6 at 124 mph....Then add another 90 pounds and say you weighed Big turbos 270 pounds instead of your 180 pounds...Now you would have ran a 11.7 at 123 mph.....Wich is exactly what my SRT10 runs with the few bolt ons and 470 rwhp....
So in OUR case the runs make sense.....
