It was all driver at that point, the viper won the 0-60 but lost the 0-100-0. then lost in the practice mile run by almost 6 mph. It was ahead in the official run due to the tanner(zr1 driver) getting destroyed on the hole shot. But the difference in mph shows that it is the faster car and should beat the viper from a roll.

No, no, no, Top Gear takes the cake. They will stage a drag race with two 600hp cars in a damn tsunami and wonder why the car won't hook up.

Car and driver

2008 Dodge ViperCoupe
1/4 mile: 11.8 @ 128 MPH
0-60 MPH: 3.6
0-150 MPH: 16.4

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
1/4 mile: 11.7 @ 127 MPH
0-60 MPH: 3.6
0-150 MPH: 17.1

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series 1/4 mile: 11.7 @ 126 MPH 0-60 MPH: 3.6 0-150 MPH: 17.9

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 1/4 mile: 11.5 @ 127 MPH 0-60 MPH: 3.2 0-150 MPH: N/A



THIS IS SAME DAY SAME PLACE SAME DRIVERS. AGAIN HEAD TO HEAD THE VIPER IS FASTER. TO DATE NO ZR1 HAS MATCHED TNE VIPERS 0-150 TIME OF 16.4.

As street racers we can all apreciate just how ungodly focking fast that is.


AWD. Nothing but respect for you. But your numbers were not done head to head. I CAN FIND Z06 NUMBERS FROM 06 THAT SAY 11.6 AT 127 MPH OR VIPER NUMBERS FROM 03 THAT SAY 11.7 AT 124 MPH AND ON PAPER MAKE THEM LOOK COMPAREABLE TO THE NEW VIPER AND ZR1.

HEAD TO HEAD.. FOCK ITS CLOSE!

You said to date no ZR1 has matched the 16.4 0-150 the viper did so I just posted a link by the same magazine that proved it has. gay that there are no vids of them racing each other from a roll tho

So we are both right except the regular viper is MUCH faster than the acr.

Acr is a great track car but very straightline speed limited.

Regular viper=202 mph
Acr viper=178 mph

Yep. Its messed up. Lets just come to a thuths. 16.4 for both of them to 150 is over a second faster than the z06.

You willing to call it a tie?

(hope I opened some eyes on the new vipers as well... Lots of people think its no faster than the z06)
