Great kills, rather have Z06 anyday. No matter what they do to them, those V-10's sound like hair driers until they hit about 2550 RPM's then they sound like flamethrowers. At no time do they sound like piston engines.

why would you say that man?????? remember that the 1996 gts viper was trapping 116-120 mph and was the fastest regular production car you could buy in the world back then....as well when the srt10 viper came out in late 2002 it was trapping 118-122 mph..remember this is only a year after the c5z06 had come out and people were hooping and raving over it's 113-117 mph trapps... you loved the performance for what it was 6 years ago..of course now the thought of a 2003 viper running a 120 mph trapp dosent seem so great...but back then it was simply amazing

Anyway, nice kills.

He ran an 10.99 in his C6Z08 at 129 mph in perfect racing weather with an extremely negative DA after many many many passes in the car..

He ran the 11.07 at 130 mph in his ACR the first time ever taking it to the track in 80 degree weather...

Big differance their...

As well everyone has been trapping 126-131 mph in their 2008 Vipers...

Only Jamie ever touched 129 PLUS in a C6Z06...EVERYONE else trapped 123-127 mph..

Great kill man. Z06's are just plain out FASTER than Viper's.

An intake and tuned Z06 only is faster than a Viper, and that was proved by forum members on the Corvette forums recently. Long story short, a Viper owner called out a Z06 with intake and tune, Z06 owner agreed, they ran, Z06 won, Viper owner's face was like ---->

Wrong, others have hit the 128-130 mph in a c6 z06 in stock trim. Also, furman is no slouch when it comes to driving so IMO, that is going to be as good as it gets for the almighty 08 viper.

I have seen them, raced them, and beat them.... 08 vipers are NOT faster than a c6 z06. Hell, a local guy with a ACR has been bragging about his car and I have called him out infront of all of his crew, nothing, doesn't want to race. After what happened with the ZR-1 and that silver RAM 3500 w/1000rwhp+ I beat, he doesn't want anything to do with my Z06.

i doubt he hit you with a 200 unless he did not know how to drive. because that car off the spray should be good for 500rwhp.

Actually 128.9 mph bone stock. And Furman didn't have nearly as much seat time or practice in the ACR as he did in his C6Z and the ACR still has the highest trap speed even among bolt-on cars. The Viper is clearly faster (trap speed). Too early to tell if it's quicker (ET):

The Viper community needs to track ETs.
