The first race the Z06 won.
The second race the Z06 won.
The third race the Z06 lost.
Here is the funny thing. Take OUT THE 230 LB PASSENGER in the Vet that is NOT in the Viper (Viper did not have a passenger), give them EQUAL starts unlike the third race where the Viper got the hit, and THEN we can evaluate the outcomes.
That Viper as 50 more rwhp and I am willing to bet with even starts and no passengers in both, that the race will be within 1 car length up to 150.
Try posting the other 2 races! Last time i checked best 2 out of 3 wins!!!
But he didn't win the other two races...this is from the VCA board...

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.

The Z06 had a 240 lb PASSENGER while the Viper DID NOT. The Viper also got the slight jump which makes a difference.
Take OUT the passenger in the Z06, take OUT the the hit from the Viper, and do the race again. If the Viper STILL wins, then that is a different story. As of now, there is ABSOLUTLY nothing to brag about.
It will be a very close race with equal circumstances. And that is with the Z06 having a 50 rwhp disadvantage.

Sure. That's why no one with a 08 Viper wants to run me. They rely on some guy who can't even drive yet alone get the three honk start right. And why are they racing from 80-140 anyways. 10mph roll. The callout goes out again. Where are all the 08 Coupe owners? My car will be back soon. Let's fucking run it? Before or after my mods! Stop saying this or that and having two guys not do the race equally. Until then don't hold your breath, "Viper Nuthuggers"!

You wont get any 08 Vipers to run you. I have tried over and over again and they are skuuurd.
My call out was to any 600 rwhp Viper vs. my cam/bolt on Z06 and I never got a response. They know better..
