This car also laid down 469whp bone stock, and he's racing his friend in a 600 hp 2008 Viper coupe that looks to have about 1200 miles on the odometer, with no mods whatsoever. Lets just say it dyno's in the 530-540whp range, at least until the owner dyno's it next month.
The first race, the dumb Viper driver isn't paying attention and doesn't start to go until the Z06 driver takes off, and he isn't able to reel him back in when they shut off with traffic approaching.
The second race isn't much better, as the Z06 gets the hit and the Viper can't compensate before traffic becomes an issue again. If you are keeping count, that's 2 for the Z06 due to poor reaction times.
For the 3rd race, the Viper owner signals the hit, and it looks as if these two guys are off to a good clean race, although the Viper may have had a slight advantage (listen for when both cars take off). It looks as if the Viper starts to slowly pull, but credit has to go to the poor Z06 who has a cameraman that weighs about 230 lb, and the Viper doesn't have a passenger. This is the cleanest race the two cars had all night, but it still isn't perfect.
Attempts at having the camera man ride in the Viper fail miserably when the federales show up to handle an accident. Looks like these guys will have to go again another night when there is more open road
That's it for this round of videos, or at least what I found.

As much as you Z06 nuthuggers don't want to admit it, the '08 Viper is going to walk a stock Z06. Whether it had a slight hit in the third race or not, it was clearly walking away without difficulty.
You can clearly see in the 2nd race the Viper's lights on the retainer wall.
