I have owned both a 01 Vette 6 speed (before thay had a 2000 automatic), and now a 01 Viper GTS.
It is not even close. From a roll you will obliterate him. From a dig, don't sweat it, just leave off idle at 1/8 pedal and slowly go to the floor when you feel it hook. This will get you a 4.2 60' time, below any 0-60 time of any Vette. (verified by my Mr. Dyno).
Z06's from a roll are not a problem, the Viper's horsepower will pull it out, but....
From a dig, it could be a drivers race. You should win, but if he is a GREAT driver in the Z06 racing a BAD driver in the Viper - he might be able to even up the 1/10-2/10 advantage we have. We have 45 more hp. but they weigh 300# less = about .15 difference in the 1/4 and 1.5mph.
