I was just using car and driver as a basis as to where I was coming from. it is pretty common knowledge that a C6 Z will run 11.7 at around 120 so miles an hour and the ZR-1 runs around 11.3. One test where the ZR-1 runs 11.7 probably just has to do with conditions or drivers.

The 600 hp viper can only run the quarter mile as fast as its 500 hp brethren, Im not saying that once its past this point it is not faster. Its just at the limits of its traction capabilities, which are a factor below 80 mph.

By the way the Viper wasnt .3 seconds faster than the ZR1 at the ring it was 3 FULL SECONDS...It is significanly faster.
The funny thing that you seem to forget is the ACR is on Road Racing tires while the ZR1 is on PS2's.

That's like running a Z06 on factory tires down the quarter then doing it with Drag Radials..

if you believed in what you were saying, you would apply the same logic to the Viper as well then.

Yeah, it's stock tires are R compound track tires. Why would they make an American Club Racer and run it on street tires?
