The Halltech Air Filter for $200 dollars nets 20 rwhp improvement and 2/10 in the quarter. I don't think you are giving enough credit here to the Z06. We both know the Z06 is not as cool as the Viper is, but c'mon man give the car it's due respect.

The Z06 is a triumph for GM... over 12 years in the making, and it took the guy that helped make the Viper to get it to where it is today. Even then, it barely eeked a win from a 3 year old SRT design, but the vette owners paraded around town called it a blow-out. Now the 08 Viper squeezes a slightly larger win, and the Vette boys are playing it cool... now it's a "Driver's race". Funny this was the same argument from the Viper camp for the last 18 months. There are idiots on both sides here. Men giggling like little girls going to their competitor's forums to start a flame war. This is a game of leapfrog. Someone will always be in the lead, and the other will catch up in time. It'll be fun until gas prices and/or the crazy libs write laws to make us all drive Priuses.
Truth is, you can't really compare the Z06 to the Viper. They're not even in the same category. The Z06 is the "special edition" version of the Vette. The standard Vette doesnt even compare to the Viper. If Chrysler ever gets another ACR-like Viper... that would be a more apt comparison.
Also, there's no point discussing products that are still in the pipeline. That just gets silly. My 2040 Viper will be better than your Vette.
