Well here I am again...Some how I find my self in between a 1997 GTS Viper and a 2007 Z06. Though a full decade seperates these two BEASTE, from my perspctive it dosent seem that way at all....

To my left I view a red GTS Viper. Dayum it looks menacing even at a low roll..From 1996-2002 this car dominated all strips and road courses. With it's dcuented 11.9 at 119 mph 1/4 mile run in 1997 by Popular Science as well as a documented 11.7 at 120 by Evan Smith in 2001..Well it's not hard to see why. As I admire the curves I think to myself..Man they dont ake cars like that anymore..And they probally never will again.


Then to my right, the yellow 2007 Z06.Man that the koolest most Hardcore looking Vette Ive ever seen. Yet in that statement lies the problem. After staring at the GTS it looks too much like a Vette. But visuals aside the 2006-2007 Z06 is everything that the 1996-2002 GTS Viper was in it's day.

You think Popular Sciences test of 11.9 at 119 mph in the GTS was fast. A NOVICE DRIVER COULD DO THAT IN A C6Z06. Motor Trend took the lighter 2006 Z06 (3130 pounds) to an SCORCHING 11.5 at 127 mph. A recent MotorTrend test of the heavier 3190 pound 2007 Z06 ( added sound deadening ect.) revealed a still impressive 11.7 at 125 mph. POINT BLANK the C6Z06 is fast. Recent as well as past videos have revealed that a stock C6Z06 can pull a 1/2 car on a stock FGT to 150 mph...If thats not bragging rights than I dont know what is.

And then I cant help but to wonder how my red 2003 SRT10 looks between these two american supercars. As this is being filmed by a camaro chase car ( thanks G-ryde) I know Ill see soon enough. But while Im between them I cant help but think that if the GTS Viper and C6Z06 had a baby it would look a lot like my SRT10. So maybe shes the Bastard baby of these Monsters but her performance is MAN SIZE. With Motor Trend testing a 2003 SRT10 vert to an 11.7 at 123 mph as well as Road and Track testing a 2004 SRT10 vert to an 11.7 at 123 mph, she fits firmly in between the 1997 GTS's 120 stock trapps and the 2007 C6Z06's 125 mph stock trapps.


DID I JUST MENTION STOCK???

Well it's a good thing these two Vipers arent stock because the 125 mph trapping 2007 C6Z06 will beat the 123 mph trapping 2003 SRT10 Viper every time and Bitch slap the 1997 GTS Vipers 120 mph trapps.



beep
Beep
BEEP

Man I gotta hurry and get my hand on the steering wheel. Why and the hell am I always the beeper anyways.

Evan at a 60 mph roll it's still a little scary acellerating hard with one hand doing the final third beep and only one hand grasping the wheel, and I quickly grasp the steering wheel with both hands..But even quicker is the c6Z06. From 60-90 mph he's put 1.5 cars on me. But to my left the GTS viper is matching him and there close..To close to tell wich one is winning but ther both 1.5 cars ahead of me at 90 mph. WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL REAR SIDE VIEW OF TWO AMERICAN SUPERCARS!!!!!!

But then my view as well changes. As I climb through third gear I crawl back a 1/2 car on the Z06. Now im directly on the Z06's bumper 1 car behind him..Dayum this is familiar..I can always be 1 car to .5 car behind him but have only beaten him fair and square once by a 1/4 car..The other 5 PLUS times this is pretty much the view I see.

But the GTS viper has done some crawling of his own..By the time me and the c6z06 shut down at 120 mph due to oncoming traffic the GTS is .5-1 car in front of the C6z06.

The GTS "who has a 1/4 mile of clear lane" acellerates to 140 mph with a scream of victory that can be herd over his exhaust.

SO THERE IT IS..tHE STOCK C6Z06 BEATS THE MILDLY MODDED 2003 srt10 VIPER BY A CAR AND LOOSES TO THE BLOWN GTS VIPER BY .5-1 CAR FROM 60-120 MPH....

* ENJOY THE VID THAT WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY*

AND NEXT TIME WELL TRY TO GO FROM 70-150 MPH IF TRAFFIC PERMITS.

Im sure the gaps will be much larger in that senario

Um...IBTL....and, do you have anything better to do than magazine race?



Apparently not. So, how tall is your ricer spoiler?

nice runs, but the 06 Z06 weighs the same as the 07. my FULLY LOADED Ron Fellows weighed in at 3120 with a 1/4 tank of gas.....hurry up with the vids

Killemall

Slow vette...My SRT10 would weigh 3320 with a 1/4 tank of gas..
A 2006 C6Z05 would weigh 3050 with a 1/4 tank of gas..

check your registration. I guarantee it say 3185-3198 pounds..

the 2006's are 60 PLUS pounds lighter...Not a huge deal..But the 2006's can just barely stratch 126 mph trapps..While the 2007's with that extra 60 pounds get to 125 mph trapps.

Just the wayy it is man..Id still rather have a 3190 pound RonFellows than a 3130 pound 2006 anyday.

Nice races man where is the vidz????

Fadi

Haha, I love it man. I do give you props for trying over and over again to beat the Z06, but it just isn't going to happen at your power level. The thing is, I think the Z06 owner is being nice to you by going from 60-120 only. If he has a car on you in a 60 mph interval, he will likely have 3 cars on you in a 100 mph interval. You keep on mentioning wanting to race from 70-150...WHY??? Why 70 mph? Why not go from a 2nd gear punch (55) and just ride it out to the top of 4th gear?? This race would not only stretch the legs out of the Z06's, but it will also (to be fair) stretch the legs out of the SC'd GTS.

Anyways, good runs, good death. Get some headers, deleted cats, and exhaust and try again. 20 more rwhp might get you to be even with the Z06.

Fadi

I am not sure about the weight differences between an 06 and 07/08, but you, for a first time ( ) are right. My 2006 Z06 weighed in at 3050 lbs with a 1/4 tank of gas.

ponygt65

Nice to see you came back and changed your OP.

Killemall

Ive raced him to 130-140 from 60 mph plenty of times...Still a .5-1 car differance..

A stock viper against another 200 pound driver in the stock Z06 will get pulled by 3 cars from 55-150 mph...

My lightly modded 459 rwhp Viper VS the 265 pound driver in the C6Z06 can stay within a car from 60-150 mph.
