11.8 for the C6Z06 and 12.1 for the viper is more the norm..

Still surprising though..

This is one of MANY of the SRT10 and 2007 c6Z06 trapping nearly identical mph lately..

Not really understanding that part..

Nice vid though and it looks like the suspesion changes for the 2007 really helped a LOT..As the 2006 C6Z06 and SRT10 coupe were always within a second of each other with the coupe winning a few..

Looks like the C6Z06 beat the Vipers *** hard on the road course with a 119 VS 122 second lap time...

Gotta give props to the 2007 on the handling and GO VETTE
LOL 12s is not the norm for a viper.. not since 96 anyway. they trap anywhere between 120-125 (the same as a z06) depending on the drivers skill... clearly that was lacking here but good comparison anyway.

They were both a half second slower than there best 0-60's...

The Gt500 on the other hand ran 0-60 in 4.5 seconds...From the publications Ive read 0-60 in 4.5 seconds for the GT500 is pretty good...If it's ran faster 0-60's in any main stream mags than please post them..

If not STFU and stop trying to compare it to the 120 mph trapping Viper and 121 mph trapping C6Z06 when it trapped 113 mph...

Why dont you go compare a 103 mph trapping STI to a 111 mph trapping 03 Cobra...

See how uncomparable that is...

Same differance when comparing a 113 mph trapping mustang to a 120 mph trapping Viper or 121 mph trapping Z06.
- you're telling him to stfu ALL the while magazine racing?..... - WOW. that's a first.

and why is it people retort to MPH. DRAG RACING IS QUICKEST, NOT FASTEST. You do realize the difference, right?

I agree that the GT500 is not on par with the other two. But your arguments/debated points on the matter are just lame.

And BTW - Evan smith ran a 13.1 in a mach one........can you tell me how many people have done the same? More than you think. Not to mention, people have also pulled better 60s than he did (a hair over 2.0). So, stop your immature/ricer magazine crap.

Actually I ran 12.80 at 110.83 mph..IN HAWAII IN 80 degree weather..

And who cares..My bone stock 1999 Viper was much faster than that 2004 corvette..

And my SRT10 Viper is faster than both of them..

So you aint hurting my feelings Unit...

As a matter of fact my LS1 was the fastest bone stock LS1 in our camaro LS1 club here in hawaii bone stock..And it only ran 13.5 at 103 mph..

The fastest bone stock Cobra ran 13.2 at 108 mph

The fastest stock C5Z06 ran 12.9 at 111 mph..

So my lil 12.80 was pretty freaking decent for a 2.73 geared auto

Thanks for the video link; the Corvette as the best overall performance daily driver in the C5 version is why I have one now... although it has a bit more hp than stock.

Whoa. Easy killer. All I said is they launched that GT 500 in a cloud of smoke (the car was sideways) compared to the other two which didn't even leave a mark.
BTW I could care less about trap speeds. I run the 1/4 and the first one through the traps wins. Which means your precious 8.3L/V10 running 11.90's would only be a tenth ahead of me at the end of the track when I had headers only (which didn't do **** the car still trapped 115). Now with a H/C/I I'm pretty positive I'd drag your *** down the 1/4.

That's weak even if the DA was 8,000'. How many feet above sea level
is your home track?

Why are you always babbling about "bone stock" cars? No one, but you,
cares are bone stock cars. We certainly don't need a dissertation
about them in every single post you create.

Not to start an arguement, but hasnt there been 12.80 passes at 110 in a stock c5, and with about 100 more hp than a stock one and only running those, a cammed ls1 vette should be all over bottom 12's at a less than great track and high 11s at a good track

All i can say, is i hope the GT500 is capable of more than a 12.7x, i just ran that this past weekend, un-tuned with bolt-ons putting down 310 to the wheels and on a slipping shitty A4.

Just because you would RATHER personally have something else, doesn't make the GT500 a "slow POS." A mid 12s car off the showroom isn't "slow," even with the "but it has 500hp" arguments. Personally I would rather have a competition orange '04 Cobra as well, but I can still see the GT500 for what it is.

glad to here they are good for more than 12.70s! I think they look alittle bulky but i do like they way the front ends look overall. Much more aggresive than the gts.
