Z06 is a nice car, but it ain't a Viper.

Not to mention most of the tests done are on bone stock Vipers. Sorry but Dodge does not tune the cars very well, and the intakes and exhaust are very restricted.

Throw on some simple mods like Smooth Tubes and a non restrictive exhaust and the Viper is a much faster car.

As for the 2008 Viper.......Its a beast. I think the Corvette Z06 is approaching the top of its performance due to that tiny V8. Won't be long now until the Z06 has a Supercharger on it to get to 600hp!

Look at the Ford GT, they had to throw a supercharger on to get that kind of horsy's from a V8!

As for the sound quality, well a V8 sounds nice but a V10 sounds like a raging monster.

I almost feel guilty watching Fadi make his attempted "insults." (Yes, I know I'm using that term loosely) For example, in multiple threads now, he has posted how he constantly smoked all these Viper owners in his Z...

Anyone else see what's wrong with this picture? It took me 7 months and 9,000 miles on my Viper to even run into another on the road and line up... (Always seemed to be going the wrong direction, stuck in traffic, or have a cop in the area etc...) Where exactly does Fadi live that he not only beats the odds and runs into tons of Vipers, but also happens to conveniently be in a situation where he can "smoke them" on the street!!?????

Apparently Fadi doesn't live in the real world and deal with such things. Funny how none of these street dominations came up until he needed to show us all how superior his "forcefully removed" Vette was. <I cringe as I type this>

Again, my heart almost hurts watching him get kicked around and take such a punishing... ALMOST.... lol

[quote=King_Sadi;920940] . Let me give you a taste, rag top. Remember, it is just a video, so don't unleash the bombs on us..

Viper bitch smack-1
Viper bitch smack-2

It really is too bad that this race happend unplanned and was recorded through a camera phone. Consider yourself lucky, the severe beating the Viper took was much more prominent looking in person. Ahh, the look on the face was pricesless.

Oh, another bitch slap coming right up: I think my half shaft could have snapped and still won..
Viper bitch smack-3

I have more Viper kills, but I am afraid for our lives given that king al qaeda might unleash some of his followers and go on an e-killing spree..

The Viper was penalized in the Car & Driver review due to its lack of creature comforts (i.e. cup holders, stability & traction control, heated seats, heads up display etc.). However, the '08 Viper beat the Z06 is every performance just like in the Edmunds comparo. The Vette and the Viper are two different types of cars.

Who was that dipshit fish-tailing buffoon, driving those cars in that worthless video?

Flatbed Fagi, we have all seen your bogus videos. If only you had the budget to afford a decent video camera, then we could have gotten a better look, as you and your cronies staged these obviously unscrupulous videos. In the future, try to be less obvious and maybe a fool or two will believe that your videos are real. Then again, you don't have a car to film anymore, do you?

I swear, I'm doing my best to hold back the tears for my stumbling mongrel of a pet. Poor, hobbling bastard, he is.

Staged? Muahaha. So this is what you tell yourself in trying to make yourself feel better? I can understand your pain though. I mean, a V10, 8.3L getting bitch smacked by a V8, 7.0L on a daily basis is not easy task to swallow (well, maybe for you it is, you're the expert)

Oh wait, I almost forgot. Here is one of a good friend putting the smack down once again. Hey rag top, is this staged too?


It' ok, it will only get better. Oh wait, the ZR1 is coming out, nevermind. Looks like the Viper will fall into the bitch category once again, just like you..

Here is the rag top himself quoting the performance difference between the Z06 and the Viper in another recent thread.

What a turd. No one is ever going to take you seriously. You are nothing but a joke. Your determination is humorous.

No one cares about your light weight strung out shit box. I love the fact that the viper is heavy...
I would sure as hell rather wreck in a viper.

dis is some funny stuff ...

Anyhow, what's wrong with the video? Just like Edmonds, it confirmed that the Viper is FASTER (0-60, 3.5, vs. 3.7 for the Vette, etc.) ... who cares about subjective crap like plastic cup holders? ...

... and oh yeah, I almost forgot, what are used Z06s worth now that the have become Viper bitches again? $39K? or or are they still holding above $40K now? ... I'll bet they become real popular with the 'Evo' crowd whenever (if) the 'supervette' finally comes out and they drop below $40K

Flatbed Fagi, at first I was concerned about the new Viper barely beating the Z06 but this new review seems to be more of what we expected; a complete ass whipping. Apparently, the other comparisons were done on snow covered surfaces, dirt roads. As it now appears, the Viper is driving the corvulva into submission. Some of these other forum members bring up good points, especially the one about resale value. In retrospect, good thing your finances collapsed when they did because that shitbox corvulva would be worth 10k less now than it was at that fateful time, when your beloved Z06 was hauled away. God, I love saying that.

P.S. Do you have any personal photos, taken on that fateful day, that you can share with us? I'd love to see a pic of Flatbed Fagi, weeping in his hands, as the dreaded flatbed is hauling his dream car away. Holy shit, I just can't help myself from saying that............again and again and again.....
