Corvette Z06 with oil change 405 hp..makes it as strong as the 2002 model....So who will win 450 hp Viper or 405 hp..vette..Its an idea for 2 player versus...try it some time:trouble:
 
If this is pure stock with oil change. I think the Vette's gearing will make it the faster choice.
 
I was watching some car show once where they had a 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 up against a 2003 Corvette 50th Anniversery Edition on the quarter mile and of course the Viper beat the Corvette.
 
Yea but that is only quarter mile. This is track racing. So the Z06 would take it.
 
given equal drivers the vette definently has an advantage in braking and cornering....get a track w/ a long straight tho and viper might overtake him, but once you hit corners again the vettes gonna snake away
 
stock for stock, the Vette can take a GTS on a track, but a SRT-10, i think the SRT-10 would win!
 
Oh yeah, an SRT-10 would smoke a Z06 stock, they say the SRT-10 is the best of the Vipers yet. Well, maybe not smoke, but it would win.
 
Man the 1969 Lt-1 vette is the fastest production vette ever!!! 0-60 3.9 Top speed 200mph!!! fast-autos.net:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Ok that was too many wow faces





































NOT:lol:
 
Me and my friend have a Viper and Z06 that are both at roughly 730hp....... and only the second suspension upgrade.......... now that is a close race.... plus our different racing styles i'll come into a corner first he'll overtake me in the corner then i pull to the inside and away out of the corner first, makes for some damn good replays......... and the Viper pulls on me in the first couple of gears but i end up taking him down long straights.
 
Well, the SRT would take a Vette since it has 1G of cornering. Dont underestimate the GTS's turning though.

"Once at the corners the Vette would snake away"

Well, that's kind of exaggerating. The Viper could hold off the Vette, and depending on the track, it might hold off the Vette until the next striaght, where it would pull off again. These are both awesome cars, both race and normal versions...
 
Well when the rumored 500 hp 2005 Z06 come's around that Viper will be history:D

edit..Of course I estimate theyll have a coupe performance model of the Viper by then...Because the first Vipers were all RT-10's then the Big bad GTS came and then the ACR...awsome what if the GTS model will have 520hp and the ACR 550+💡 that's just an idea though..think about it Dodge!!!
 
Sorry but I have to throw in a shameless plug.

I just started a challenge running stock american road cars on a 3 lap race at seattle. Maybe you guys could help decide which car is superior.
 
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.
 
I'm gonna test a bunch of cars at various tracks...Midfield...cote da azur,Grand valley, and Tokyo....Heres the cars..Z06,Grand sport,Mustang,Viper,Espirit V8 SE, RGT, and just for fun.Elise 190...Also,...they are satndard bought..no oil change but I have one question...waht should ASM nd TCS be at..I was thinking 0,0 would be nice....I'll have the results in this week:dopey:
 
Car Montreal Grand valley

Z06 1:47:923 2:06:928
Grand sport 1:51:247 2:09:795
Mustang 1:53:056 2:11:522
Viper 1:48:134 2:06:829
Espirit V8 SE 1:47:645 2:06:993
RGT 1:46:361 2:03:421
Elise 190 1:52:969 2:12:419
ZZ-S 1:55:228 2:14:830


notes...1 lap, no oil change ,standard

Elise is faster than the Mustang at Cote da azur!!!
RGT kicked everyones 🤬 by 3 seconds at Grand Valley




g2g to bed bye
 
Does anyone find this useful? I mean the mustang was outrun by an Elise!!! Word of advice don't buy the mustang..Get a Z28 or SS...Even a silvia,or lancer...Don't get mustang!!:O
 
The C5R vette could take out the Oreca Viper any time (even with just a stock setup...). However, I must agree with the consensus; give alot of straightaways and long, wide turns; the viper will win. Give lots of slow turns and few straightaways the vette would win. In GT3, I'd take the Vette over the Viper (better handling IMO).
 
And my view is the opposite. The C5R understeers, which becomes an issue in races with tyre wear. It just feels more "bulky", and to top it off, it can't match Oreca Viper's lap times (2+ seconds slower at GVS). I had to compare them for a series in the past, and found that with a good setup the Viper is balanced, nimble and it has very even tyre wear (except on the slowest courses).
