Im gonna have to argue in favor of the vette on both the stock and fully moded sides.
The stock vette takes braking and handling.
The race versions have gone against each other on the international level, and just like what carrol shelby did to ferrari in the late 60's, the vettes have pushed the vipers out of competitive racing.
Just look for yourself. The oreca team is no more, but the vette team is dogging it out with whatever comp is left.
Regardless of results, the viper got out the second season into a competition with the vettes.
To me thats quiting while your ahead and not letting your enemy get the better of you. (as you fear and expect.)
Bottom line, chevy kicks dodge. sorry fellas.
Just to make sure about the game... Im about to run both cars in a test of something like 5 laps each. Both complete stock, oil changes and no new tires. Back soon.
-----------
edit:
Well, it was suprisingly close to what I predicted.
Viper took longer to stop and was behind on handling.
After a test at laguna of 5 laps per car (viper going second)
The vette walked away with a time that was .9 ahead of the viper.
However, I suggest a viper supporter takes these two cars to laguna for a test drive so we can account for experimenter bias.
IMO the vette was just easier to achieve better lap times in.
