Vette Curb Weight = 3162lbs.

Im not real sure on this but I think the Viper is going to need
alot more than 80hp to make up the weight difference here.

Either way INMO I like both cars and pretty much want to own at
least one of everything

Thats a big factor most people dont realize.

isnt it: .10 per 100lbs?

Its hard though when these vipers are throwing out serious numbers stock.

Example: 08' viper stock runs say 11.3 (510rwhp with a 15% drivetrain loss @ 600bhp)
Example: 08' Z06 stock runs 11.7 (430rwhp with a 15% drivetrain loss @ 505bhp)

80rwhp difference and .4 faster. (stock)

Add: Chris's mods to get 70rwhp more (500rwhp)

Chris should out run all day long with a new 08' viper slightly modded vs stock. (low 11sec passes on his setup)


Add: the same mods to the Viper 70rwhp (580rwhp)

- the outcome should be .3 to .4

difference giving the viper a 10.9 run compared to Chris's 11.3 run


In other I am a diehard corvette fan but the power the vipers are making from the factory N/A. They are going to be hard to beat stock vs stock.


That being said, For a few grand to match the power these Vipers are making isn't a bad gig at all to run low 11's.

Great Point Garet !!!

I am a fan of both....

I am very impressed with the Z however...especially after getting some
seat time today... Car is fast , rides great , handles excellent
and the brakes almost threw me through the windshield....

Pretty killer ride and with all the creature comforts as well AND a Ton of money less than
a Viper...

Congrats Chris. That didn't take long with the mods!
So what cat back are you going with? Borla or B&B?
