It may have seemed like a short race, but remember, fast cars get there pretty damn quick. All you guys who think the race was "too quick", ride in a fast car and see how quick a race goes down.

Well, before I say any more, I will repeat, you DO have a sweet car. Any numbers on it???
As to fast cars, I wish I knew what that was
Racing to 110 in a roll IS A FAST RACE. Although I think you would have still beaten the viper, please, I asked you to remember that bonestock vipers aren't running too much slower than you presumably would be running (I'm guessing slightly over 500rwhp on your car, high 10's at mid 120's if you go to the track on good rubber).

I already gave him props!!!!! Read my replies
And yes, 120 is somewhat slow
The viper should have lost, it was a BONESTOCK viper against a badass car.
And for the THIRD time
, sweet car blownc5 and good kill, way to shut up an ignorant/STUPID viper owner

There is a vid online somewhere of a roll race between a bone stock 03 SRT-10 and a cam only 02? Z06. The Z06 beats the Viper in an even longer race. Why is it so hard to believe that a 500 FWHP car (prob 420-440 RWHP) got beat by a 500+ RWHP car?

yea....120 is so slow for a street car
i guess your car is pretty slow then cause you said you trap 122..right? what do you consider fast for a street car thats daily driven?also..35-110 is not that bad for racing from a roll..when the other car is getting its *** kicked why should he keep in the throttle??
sweet vette by the way! i thought you were selling the d1 and going turbo?

Youve got a badass Vette and you beat the Viper, but I gotta admit, those first two minutes of footage of the Viper made that thing look so good!
I forgot how much I used to like Vipers before I started hanging out here, youve renewed my love for Vipers with those sleek nightime shots.
I was planning to get a Z06 after I sell my WS6 this weekend, but now I'mthinking i should just hold out to get the SRT10, that thing is bad!

And yes, low 11's at low 120's are slow (my own personal experience).So stop arguing with me, I already said his car was badass, now give it up.

All Z06's are FRC's, and previously, the car before the Z06 came out in 01, was just known as an FRC. It's got a trunk instead of a hatch, the coupe part, and no targa top, hence, fixed roof.
