i hate to say it

[boosted349]

well i hate to say it but i just ran a 11.71 @ 126.2 in my 08 zo6 and a 12.01 @ 124.91 in my 06 viper coupe. so far the z06 is by far faster. same track conditions same driver. the z06 is all around a better car but the looks go to the viper for sure. dont hate on me because i am talking down on the viper on a viper web site, but i am stating facts. i did buy the viper first and that is what i drive everyday. both cars are stock except i have put 19 20 wheels on the vette which maybe is why it has a faster mph.

This is old news. It's a game of leapfrog. Let's compare same years, shall we? Surely you realize the 08 Viper with 100 more horses and better tires can shave .3 sec. off your time? Z06's are nice cars, as will the ZR1 be when it comes out. But at the moment, the Viper is in the lead. Who knows what it'll be next year?

Just enjoy what you have.

The 08 viper is faster.

I think the point that he is making is that the Z06 made no hp changes from 06-08. Therefore the comparisons between the 2 can be made. Thanks for the info. Most viper owners understand that is harder to tap into the Vipers potential than a Vettes. 11.71 at 126.2 in a stock car is fast, no matter who is driving.

Huh? Where did he make this point? I mean, it's factually correct, but I read nothing that said, "The 06-08 Z06 specs are the same." And how is that relevant to the rest of what he said?

He was slightly disappointed that his new 08 vette beat his 06 Viper by a hair. I don't think there was anymore to read into that post other than just that. Maybe I'm missing something here?

Good honest info and its cool you have both top performers. For the money the Vette ZO6 is hard to beat. The 08 Viper may be a little quicker but wait til the 09 ZR1 does some posting. And the battle continues.

I believe he is upset because he wanted the viper to be faster and it was not. Using your login a 06 viper would beat a 03 because its newer wtf.

Umm... you DO know that an 08 Viper is quicker than an 06 Viper, right? So although an 06 Viper might not beat an 03 Viper, an 08 will definitely beat an 06 AND an 03.

Therefore, if an 08 Z06 can beat an 06Viper by .3 sec, it is safe to say an 08Viper can beat an 08 Z06. Yes, an 08 Z can beat an 06Viper. We KNOW this already. How's this hard to understand?

Now your being silly. Diff. gen cars of course its quicker.

So then what was the point of your first post? The guy NEVER mentioned anything about the difference between an 06 and 08 Z06. Because well... there isn't any.

The comparison can be made and already HAVE been made. That's why it's OLD NEWS. The Z is faster than an 06 Viper. Nobody disputes this. But the 08 is obviously faster... thats the point logical people conclude.

[musicncars]

race the '08 ZO6 with an '08 Viper. pretty simple, apples to apples.

[dragon rider]

We were on the same page without nowing it. Old new.

[boosted349]

i have not driven an 08 viper yet but i am sure it is faster than the 08 z. i am just comparing the cars that i have (08 z vs 06 viper), because there is allways alot of **** talking between the two. but i am not going to count out the viper yet i think that it will go just as fast sooner or later, it is alot harder to drive than the vette.

What exactly is the point of this tread? Oh wow a vette beat a viper! Not much diffrent than the civic beats lamborghini video i saw on youtube. Some people, (called car enthusiasts) can actually see why a lamborghini is better than a hopped up civic, despite being slower; likewise car enthusiasts, should be able to very easily see why it really doesnt matter if the viper is slower. The corvette is a compelte embaresment to the sports car industry. Never bring a vette to a meet with real cars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Vipers becaue nobody wants to waste their time looking at it, must explain why a Z06 was remvoed from a Lambo/Ferrari meet i went to, keep in mind the viper was allowed in
