I like how you guys like slower speed races or a dig when its a mustang against a Z06....but when it's against a GTR you want the higher speed runs so it helps the mustang out some. lol
Tailor your arguments to whatever benefits you I suppose.

I've never raced a GTR in my life :??: Actually I prefer dig races all the time.
Slo vett. My car has been tuned by two shops. the current tune is made 485hp NA and we didnt get a chance to do a nitrous run. that was RPM's tune. I am good friends with the owner and we are doing a cam and exhaust valves over the winter and hoping to break 720 on nitrous..
my car was orig tuned by complete street performance. It made 480 na and 632/660tq on nitrous. Again, i know the owner very well and those are the only two places that tune my car

I heard Hennessey might the only one offering a heads/cam package on the 08+ vipers, but not sure on that :shrug: or they aren't ?
I know either UGR or Hennessy has TT'd a new 08+ Viper. Maybe they used AEM?:shrug:
Either way yes there prob arent any H/C Packages out there for the 08+ Vipers....
old vid. been on streetfire for awhile now
I have been on a track with modded Z06's and all different model's of Vipers. The Z06 is a fast car but the rear ends tend to get loose around the banked turns. Let's just say that my 510 rwhp GTS would pass them fairly easily on the long straights. The Gen IV ACR's would pass them on the straight and the embanked turns.
As for the ZR1, well they actually performed worse on a track than the Z06. Heat Soak? Heavier weight? Who knows?
When it comes down to a track car (real track, not just a straightaway) the Viper ACR (for a production car) is King. I won't even get into handling of an ACR vs a Vette. No Contest.

Every car rear end gets loose around the bank turns, even the Viper...(probably less than the vette).:shrug: It's the driver who controls the car.....will make a difference.:rockon:

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving 
Lets see some proof of this please (not saying it can't be done) BUT I guarantee you its NOT the norm. A stock c5 z06 (which I have beaten on the highway to boot) are not that impressive... and certainly don't seem impressive enough to run high 11's stock... for the majority of the time. So with that said I feel pretty confident in beating a cs z06 w/ DR's at the track.
- Not only that, maybe you should take another look at my mod list :rolling: as I am only running a a 3.0 upper... no lower... no port (through a shitty densecharger), and I still ran an 11.8.... and would still more than likely beat a c5 z06 with just drag radials. Now if were talking throwing on a lower and decent intake then that same z06 gets raped... its not rocket science.
my bro had an 03 w/a tune/intake made 375rwhp.....did mid 12s stock.....i dont see 11s happening.....great car but not that good
Thanks, that where I would pretty much put them... IMO I think they can run faster than what your buddy's ran... but probably 5% of guys are hitting 11's in a c5 z06 with little to nothing done except for drag radials.
vett *cough* nitrous *cough* lol
Well a couple have done it at atco & MIR, so now they all do it.
I guess since a couple 03 Cobras with just a upper pulley, intake, exhaust running low 11s@123mph is what they're all capable of since a few did it as well. :lol:
Here is one with intake and exhaust and drag radials running a 11.6 @ 120

Here is another with only cai and drag radials running 11.55 @ 117.7 w 1200 DA

Point I'm trying to make is if you run into a stock one with a good driver you will have your hands full.
Run into one with bolt ons that somebody can drive and my money is on the vette.
Is this the norm? Well caranddriver went a 12.4 @ 116 in a stock c5 z06 so with Drag radials I could see the average person knocking a few tenths off of that.

^^^^I agreed with you.
stranger things have happened..
I pulled on a C6Z to the top of 4th with stock eaton..

I think its safe to say the "norm" for a drag radial c5 z06 is low 12's... again this is the average. I bet if you take 10 stock c5 Z's with drag radials with 10 different drivers, that about 2, possibly 3 hit 11's but no more than that... and I am still unsure about that much.
