Default How fast is a new Viper coupe from a roll?

I didn't have a chance to run this guy since I was turning off, but i saw a new Viper coupe on RT53 N by Speed Inc. I'm guessing high 11's at 122mph or something?

I was in the Z06 btw. The Formy is under the knife getting an 88mm turbo.

It would edge out a stock Z pretty easily. But...do some well thought out bolt-ons, and you gotta race.

Now,..if the viper driver is a slacker....you already have a chance.

The car or the driver?? there's a big difference with those cars.. the Car is VERY FAST from a roll but the person behind the wheel may be the slow one..lol

They make alot of TQ to keep pulling them up top and have the HP to back them up, so there really not a easy car to pull away from in high speeds.

a 450rwhp H/C C5 can pull away from them pretty easily at least over 1-1/2 car after 110-120mph.
same as with the new c6z06, it'll pull a new viper easily too

Oh here we go again.... Apples to Apples buddy.

Sure add 70 whp to it, then it can...Sheesh. PS. A new Z06 will not walk a New Viper, and it will walk a GTS, but not by much. The GTS is a High 11 car...stock.

Hell, my hennessey will hang with a C6 ZO6, but its modded so that doesn't count.

Sorry bud but you have your facts wrong. The C6 ZO6 WILL walk a new Viper. A C5 ZO6? No. The new ZO6 is a beast, it has plenty of hp/tq, and it has a weight advantage as well. Equal drivers and that Vipers going down.

No, I don't. I shopped the C6 Z06 and new viper's very hard for 2 months before choosing the Hennessey.

They are mirror images in 0-60 and 1/4 miles times. They are both beasts.

So the Viper doesnt have plenty of HP and Torque??? It has more torque! The same HP.

It weighs 180# more, big deal. Niether car will walk the other.

I have my facts wrong??? You stated NO FACTS at all.

same driver stock for stock the C6 ZO6 is faster than a new viper! they are close in a straight line but the ZO6 will pull a viper easy on a road course! they are both bad *** vehicles and I would happily drive either one,but I'll smoke both of em so I'll keep what I got!

Read to subject..... FROM A ROLL...its post like this that get things off on a tangent.

No one said anything about a road course. PS, has you seen any lap times for the 2 cars (Gen III and C6 Z06) on the same track? Didn't think so.

Plus, he was comparing it against a C5 Z06.

Spoken like a truly uninformed person with blinders on. Do some research, I did, I drove both, and did a lot of research for 2 months...they are nearly identical in straight ;ine performance. Numbers don't lie.

Ran a new viper that still had paper plates pulled him by 2 cars from a roll of 80 mph to 130. The gears they have suck.

It was a new Viper Coupe... the latest body style. I figured he would have had the edge but I was turning off.

I'll have some boltons soon, so I look forward to trying one.
