Corvette Z06/Corvette SS KILL Ha ha ha ha....
This is a 2008 Viper with exhaust/no cats/headers/ all supplied by Hennessy on DR's..
Not to shaaby for exhast and drag radials...On stock tires they ran the car to an 11.8 at 135 mph...Traction sucked badly that day...
I dont know if the 2008' Vipers are really gonna take out the new SS vette with it's 3350 pounds and 620 HP..But it's gonna be a fun battle to watch..
HERES THE FIRST BLOW

That thing is pure sex. And with a s/c setup you know that thing has got to purr like a tame kitten in everyday driving situations....with monster power just lurking beneath your right foot.

650R is cool and everything, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if ZR-1s best that time/trapspeed on a regular basis right off the showroom floor. It's gonna be a beast

Dawg.....whats that car run STOCK? (cause, what you showing here, is a modified viper, at a dragstrip, by itself.)
Cause, from what I know...about blower cars....is that they only make MORE power with,..say,..long tubes....no cats...pulley...and tune?
This is street racing G,..not benchracing 101. We can all speculate that X car will beat A car when modified.....and etc etc etc...... but....why?

Just a funny vid man to stir the pot....As far as I know only one has went to the drag strip bone stock so far and it ran 11.3 at 129 mph..
But on a differant note..ARE YOU GUYS REALLY HAPPY WITH THE LOOK OF THE ZR1? Im a bit dissapointed so far with the looks....As well as 3350 pounds and 620 HP is a long wayy off from 2900 pounds and 650 HP that was talked about...
Im sure it will still run 10's at 130's...But visually Im just not feeling it and prefer the z06...Anyone else?

after seeing the whole body picture, i think the ZR-1 looks like it has a little too much going on...The powertrain is ****** amazing, but at the same time I prefer the looks of the less head-turning Z06...ZR-1 kinda reminds me of a nitro R/C car...

yeah, hopefully. big difference in price though with a used cobra and a ZR-1. hopefully with all that money comes the intelligence to drive a car the right way, and not do something stupid.
im thinking i need to make it a 383CI, new cam and heads and get my procharger up to 17psi just to be able to keep up with the ZR-1 to film a future race lol. thinking 557rwhp wont be enough...and here i thought it would be lol.
