As for the Viper ACR, the ZR1 and Z06 both beat the viper around the track (Laguna Seca) when equipped with the Cup tires. Track car, for track car, again Vette wins.
I think Laguna Seca is a harder track than the famous ring i always hit the wall at that damn cork screw in Grand turismo lol

After so research looking on the SVT performance website and google turns out Ford has excuses as to why they haven't posted a lap time of the 13 GT500, Claiming weather conditions kept the driver from unleashing all the power well if thats the case then who ever said the ZL1 was suffering from heat soak his comment is just as valid. So Snake95 STFU again with your attempt to make the ZL1 look bad and talking down to other GM guys on a GM fan base website.
the z28 lap times were during a wet session but GM still posted them?

IIRC the viper was always putting better times because it had the stickier tire, i remember the people test driving mentioned when they put the same tires on the Vette it spanked the vipers.

The Viper ACR was 7 seconds faster around the 'Ring than the ZR1 on Cup tires, btw.

lol thanks I cant copy and past Firefox is being gay.... but it looks like the Viper is on top again but at the same time if I remember correctly R&T did a comparison against the new viper and the Zr1 and the Zr1 won but the driver said he felt like he could have gone faster in the Viper Either way the Viper and the Vette are ruling the road/tracks guess ford cant even keep up in their 660hp shitstang lol

if anyone remembers when the put the gt500 up against the zl1, the gt 500 actually posted a slightly better fastest lap. but after a couple laps the gt500's brakes faded terribly from heat and it slowed right down and the zl1 went on by.

damn, goes to show that the Viper is a beast! i hope GM puts a "Z/28" themed C7 with the big power and all the performance they have into a stripped down version like the ACR. The ZR1 is a beast of a car and definitely the highest performing car GM puts out there but they need an "aero and stripped" version of the vette. i know a lot of testing magazines saying that they knew the vette was capable of more yet they didnt feel comfortable or the *** end would let go. just imagine a LeMans style wing on the vette like the ACR

but back to the ZL1, great car and performs well for its disadvantage but this 6th gen better have gone on a VERY strict diet

Again, neither the Camaro nor the Mustang are intended to compete with the Corvette.

nope cause same day testing and fast lap vs fast lap its gonna get its *** handed to it. but like i said if were gonna compair hot as days runs to perfect runs then that needs to be done in the straight line aswell. i can show these gt500 fan boys a few videos of the zl1 busting a gt500 in a drag race does that mean its a faster car no. but u cant get dumbasses to understand that. lol

Then why does the Mustang have 660hp? Why did ford produce that mustang with that kinda power when the Gen 5 Camaro was making the same amount of power as the ford gt 5.0? You do realize the GT500 is a mustang with after market parts assimbled in a ford factory right? hell its real competitor is the Hennessy Camaro not the Zl1....

I don't think that'll happen, although it might. Fiat, like GM, has another top end model that the Viper won't outdo, Ferrari. Now, with La Ferrari coming out, they might allow the Viper to be 700hp, but that may have to be forced by the next Z06/ZR1 power level. Who knows, we'll see.

the 6th gen has alrdy be said to be 15% lighter .


but i love how ppl compair stock for stock. how many cars on this forum are stock? who really give a flyin **** about a stock car. lol with time and money u can make anything u want fast . i just never understood it . well i guess i should say as soon as u put a cold air intake on ur modded and all that stock **** goes out the window.

Also if its not intended then why do all ford **** like to compare it to the Vette as well? Ive always wonder that and How come the gt500's have always had as much as HP as the Z and eventually the Zr1?

Sometimes I don't want to engage in intelligent conversations with you because of posts like this.
