I have a friend with a Z06. It is orange metallic and an '06. My Viper is not even broken in yet but he has been talking some shit lately so I decided to run him. If I lost, it would not be a big deal for me, since the Viper will ultimately be turboed anyway, giving me the last laugh and soothing my frail ego. First, we took the cars onto the Florida turnpike and the shit kicking began. I cannot say if he is not a good driver or what the case was but he took not 1, not 2 but 3 ass whippings at the hands of my Viper. Is it stock?? Both are completely stock. We only took them to about 100 mph but I was clearly pulling him, although not by that much. Even I have assumed that the Z is a slightly quicker car due to weight and gearing. If so, why did I put 3 ass whippings on this Z?
Needless to say, he was not too happy and as expected, I was the one talking loads of shit afterward. God help the anti Viper world once I get this thing turboed.
Not defending the Z (I own a Viper) but the reason you were able to edge you friend out is that you only ran to 100 mph. I have a good friend who has a Z and we have done many side by sides runs against one another. I am always quicker out of the whole, but then he walks away after 100 mph. The Z breathes better on the top end, no doubt about it.

That should change when the '08s come out.
A computer recal would take care of that. I remember DC posting up an ad on here for 3 or 400 bucks to reprogram the PCM and added more power throughout the RPM rage. I would be willing to say an SRT with filters and the PCM recal would be able to pull against the Z after 100, good driver providing. Stock for stock The 08 Viper with good driver will be able to take the Z, not much of a mod friendly car though.

Exactly what I stated earlier. Past 100 is when the Z06 will really pulls away pretty hard.
LMAO!! You might be right but it just sounds funny. I beat a Z06 up to 100 and the Z crowd comes back with, "But it is over 100mph where the Z wins". My guess is that both cars are close enough that one individual might be faster than another. We all know that the Viper is a hell of a lot better to modify. Why does the Z have an advantage at higher speeds? Is it aerodynamics or better air intake?

This will be a mute point in a few months when the 08 Viper arrives at Dodge dealerships. Under 100 over 100 won't matter the 08 Viper crushes the Z06 and its game over.
I am wondering if the passenger weight is usually a factor also. Lets be realistic; the average homosexual weighs less than the average straight guy and that definitely gives the Z an advantage. The vette driver probably puts on Michael Jackson driving gloves also and maybe that gives him an edge. Put straight guys in both cars (my friend loves pussy and eats like a pig) and the Viper wins.

I'm definitely not the "Z crowd". As I said before, I own a Viper and would never trade it for Vette, but I repect the Z06.
There are several reasons the Z is faster on the high end, but the main reasons are weight advantage, cam profile, gearing and higher revving motor. Stock exhast probably flows better too.

Wow, you sure do bring up homosexuality a lot in your posts. Something you are trying to tell us??
The Z06 would beat a Viper from any mph to any mph with EQUAL drivers. The gap between the cars gets bigger as the speeds increase.
I think a lot of the magazines are full of #$#. The times are on stock tires and the stock tires really are not the best for a Viper. Soon as you switch tires to Kumos or the new Toyo's (as I have heard), the traction is a whole different ball game. I would bet on a Viper with better tires over a Z06 anyday.

Fagi, why don't you go back to the open arms of your corvette brethren? Surely, they accept your effeminate behavior more than I do. You are a bitch and nothing more. Face the facts, the corvette is a car for the heterosexually challenged male in comparison to the Viper. It's just the way it is and always has been. In 14 years, the corvette has only been competitive for one. A 13-1 score is a shit kicking if there ever was one. Now, take your position, ass up and squeal like the whore that you are. Oh.......don't forget to wave at your corvette brethren when you feel the balls bottom out on your ass. The corvette stopped being a car for men in 1970. Twinkle toed queers like yourself have been scampering around in them, ever since.
My friend is as good a driver as I am and he was pulled all the way. There was an obvious power advantage for the Viper and I was surprised. I did not expect it but it was fact.

Saddlebags, when are you going to snap out of the homosexuality world that you live in and so often disclose to others and snap back into the the real, sane, ethical world?? You have people on here with both cars telling you that you beat the driver and not the car. When you feel so defenseless, your only obligation and justification is to have the mentality of a 3 year old and call people names. Your gay sexual identity and insecurities are what's screaming from your posts. I get a good laugh out of it..
Fagi, I just got back from drilling and thrilling a 25 year old female brazilian beauty. What have you done lately, besides apply some lotion on your back from the rash that your boyfriend's chest hair caused? Face the facts, you and your corvette were designed to be reamed.
May I suggest that you read my signature and abide by it?
All I know is that many, and I say it with enthusiasm, many many Z06 owners have transitioned from the corvette to the Viper. Doesnt that say enough? and do we Viper owners need to prove anything of which car is faster and so on? NO!!!! thats the corvette guys job... If I wanted a corvette Id get one?
BUT for anyone having doubts in their Viper... This guy is willing to trade =)
The quality of the Viper is so much better than the vette. There isn't any comparison. The Z06 is nothing more than the new kid on the block and he is about to get the ever living shit kicked out of him by the local thug who was merely taking a nap.
