Wow, didn't know they were limited to such a "low" top speed. Must handle like hell though...

that is an understatement everything about that car is made to handle.
I wonder how much faster it would go without the splitter and spoiler.

maybe if the Zr1 had better aerodynamics it would beat the viper around the ring

WOW...did you see the story being told in the info section?
That old man must of been a riot!!
Not sure why they took it out there for a top speed run, they probably hit that on the road up there!
Puts down like 1000 lbs of downforce at 150mph or something doesn't it?

I say they put them all on the same tires on the same day. Not knocking the Viper, it oughta dominate. Put some race compound tires on them all. I mean, c'mon, it's a track.

ya i always wanted to see the viper with gears vs. the vette with good tires since those hold both of those cars back quite a bit.
