0-60 is getting to be a poor test since the 1990's. The hp is getting so high on cars that there is traction issues with all the wheelspin. The 1/4 mile and even the standing mile are more of a true test of supercar performance nowadays. I also concur that the 1st comparison issue will show how refined the Porsche is and how overall better the Z06 is even though the Viper left them behind. I just hope they use good drivers in the tests to get the best out of all the cars.

BTW, I am also looking foward to tests of the 2008 Viper because the runflats are gone and performance should improve dramatically.
