Like i said this car is on up there with the C6 Z06 and sorta the Zr1 (I was corrected on the Zr1 and misunderstood the power and performance of it) Guess all that extra weight isnt a big deal for the new Vette.

And I wouldn't consider an extra 100 pounds over the last base model to be all that much extra weight, although that makes it almost 200 pounds heavier than a C6ZO6. I'm sure some of that weight can be stripped out pretty easily too.

Oh, and if we're gonna talk hero drag strip runs, the C7 has a ways to go before it can catch even a 2008 Viper:

), but what I have to say is...If the Corvette guys claimed stock, then showed non-factory rubber and an aftermarket shifter - the thread would be littered with 1000 posts ranting on what is "Stock." I agree that the Viper in question can be considered "stock" by most comparisons. Just saying. And 32000 miles is probably right in the sweet spot for mileage - looking forward to more "hero" runs from the C7 when they reach that mileage and run with less than 1/2 tank fuel and 230lb driver. After all, it's not like the C7 has been at the track that long and it has already been faster than most naysayers.

It's definitely not up to either of those levels, not stock at least. It should be able to be modded nicely though.

No offense Meents, I get your love for Vipers and can certainly appreciate the run you posted (Same as I can the 10.6x by ZR1s ), but what I have to say is...

Points noted, but Mr. Sitzberger's comment that the C7 is "as fast, if not faster" than a 2013/2014 Viper, which is 100 pounds lighter and 40HP/TQ up on the 2008 in that vid, is a bridge too far.

I'm curious to see what the c7's do with 5-10k miles on them once they loosen up a little bit, but hell, who's really going to keep it stock for that long AND drag race it too?
I give it another 2-3 weeks, and we'll see some low 11s out of it I'm sure. Granted, it'll be mineshaft air at Atco or MIR or Cecil, but still, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10.9x either when we get -2000' DA there.

I just wonder what a good set of drag radials will do considering they are launching pretty softly with 19 or 20" wheels and still cutting 1.7 60' times. Figure a harder launch and you're looking at a nice 1.6 or maybe 1.5 and then who knows.

In the Viper world, we can't be that picky...there just aren't many out there, and far fewer are taken to the drag strip and flogged like that one was. Nitto Invos are not drag radials, and an MGW shifter's effect on ET is debatable. Oh, and if there's still beef with the "stock"-ness of that car, there's always Jamie Furman's:

Them new Vipers are no joke and they look very mean too! The GTS is a huge step over the previous versions on the interior. I have never owned a Viper but from what I have been told they never really built it to have all the luxuries like the Vette till now it has always been built for the track. Feel free to correct me if im wrong.....

I agree with Meents, just saying that the Vette forum would explode with other nutswingers calling "not stock" with those changes. Both of the passes you posted are fast and great to see from the SRT crowd.
I like to new Viper better inside and out than the new C7. It's just my personal opinion on the exhaust note that keeps me from considering one.

Just got back from Royal Purple Raceway, a red C7 auto just ran an 11.67 @ 120, then went a 11.47 @ 121.9 (with just a tune), after I left. Temp was 65*. That is just sick!
