A mediocre driver will be faster in the Z thanks to the electronic controls. They will drive blissfully around with the rotors glowing red from automatic corrections. In the Viper that same driver will be in the gravel or driving well off the cars limits.

A good driver(which I'm not one yet) will be far faster in the Viper. 100 extra horsepower doesn't hurt. The Viper has bigger tires on the back (345 vs 325), and stickier tires. It's not a fair fight. Put the same good driver in each car on the same day and no mods and it's a waste of time. Put a better driver in the Z and/or a bunch of mods and you can change the result. Mind you, put Manny in his Honda CRX and he can beat most drivers in the Z and the Viper.
