All the folks comparing a new Viper and new Z06, keep showing an average of a couple of tenths and a couple of mph... so a few car lengths. No contradictory comments whatsoever. Nobody has said the Viper is faster.

the C6Z is the holy grail for chevy guys, even if it were slower, they aren't going to admit that unless you have some serious evidence to the contrary. (I know the ZO6 is faster too
)thats like the SVT guys saying a Terminator is slower than a Firehawk or SS camaro....Come on bro!

Sorry . . . had to do it 
Back on topic . . . I can't BELIEVE anyone is still trying to contradict the facts: a new Viper gets whooped because of GEARING (and aerodynamics) . . . which has been stated umpteenMILLION times

Funny thing is that both of those cars would give my Turbo Buick a run for its money from a roll, since mine is trapping 126+ mph too.

wow ... headache... caint wait to see the numbers on the blue devil corvette though wonder if dodge has something to compete with it... but no one comment on anything about the blue devil that will start the whole thing over again. i rather have the c6z06 +think it would win at any speed vs a viper given all the same variables( im too tall to fit in a viper) damn there small interior. but i'll never afford either. so i am left to TRY and make my camaro as fast as either, still very far from that goal.... i wanna see the new gt500 mustang vs the zl1/ss/idk camaro, besides a virtual race. watched that too many times. and no smack talking both these cars arent even out yet so shaddup...

Sorry dude..had to comment on the blue devil for everyone.
The BLUE CAR...The BLUE Z06 THAT WAS SPOTTED...IS NOTHING MORE THEN A BONE STOCK Z06 C6. iT JUST SOO HAPPENED TO BE BLUE.....AND PEOPLE THAT WHERE THERE, SPY SHOOTING THE CAR, HEARD WHISTLEING COMING FROM THE CAR...LEADING THEM TO THINK THE CAR HAD SOME SORT OF A POWER ADDER ON IT. WHICH, THIS CAR, THAT DAY, DIDN'T.....IT IS INFACT, THE PRODUCTION VERSION THAT ANYONE WITH THR RIGHT AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD GO OUT AND BUY RIGHT NOW.
Not saying GM isn't building a special rocket.....just saying the the "blue devil" ...is all just some stupid photographer's opinion....cause the car he saw that day, was blue, and sounded "turbo charged"
listen to this Z06 on the track....and you can hear it whistle as well....

I love horsepower wars. 
And your right, dodge always responds. I remember this happening when the c5 z06 put out 405hp and dodge responded. It's just a matter of time.

Some people posting in this thread must have never been to a dragstrip. From my experience one tenth is ABOUT a car length.
Forget the MPH for the moment, going by the above, no matter how you look at it we can all argee the Z is at least 2-3 cars faster than a Viper.
I call 2-3 cars getting walked.
Some people don't.
That's where all this BS arguing is coming from...

No doubt in my mind they are coming out with a special vette....but trust me,..I promise you that the original "blue devil" was someones miss conecption,..that turned out to be just a rumor.... GM saw that there was actually an interest for a high dollar vette.....and now they are going to bring it out.
The "blue devil"...was a stock Z06 driven by jon(pronounced YON) magnusson(proffesional road racer)....and he was laying down some of the fastest times ever on the RING....so fast that only a couple of other street cars, could come close to. I'm telling you dudes...the original Blue car,...was NOT supercharged/turbocharged..... it was just a fast as **** bone stock Z06.
This information is from GM directly.

seems like someone does'nt like the fact that a stock C6 ZO6 will walk away from a new viper! I've seen and raced both of these cars, the ZO6 is easily faster and has a better topend!
the first post just said ZO6 he did'nt say C6 or C5! read before you critique other members post.
these are peoples opinions , they don't need your feedback!

First of all, welcome to last week....
Second, read a little further...HE HAS A C5. A drunk chimp with downsyndrom could figure out he was asking about a C5.
Your last sentance makes no sense at all. Ill ask the drunk chimp to interpret it for me, and Ill get back to you.
