Let me see some drag slip times before crowning this car king of the hill vs the GT or the Z06. I have yet to see a Viper get close to the Z06 stock vs. stock on the drag strip.
What is close? I have '06 Vipers...have had 3 C6 Z06's, still have 1..and FGT's. I can tell you same driver, same track that the Z will best the Viper by .2-.3. The GT will SLIGHTLY best the Z06.
I am confused, you are now agreeing with me? The GT will beat the Z, and the Z will beat the Viper in that order. The only Viper I have ever seen clome close to the Z is Wanted and that is a Gen2. Show me some proof of a Gen3 coming close to the Z. I say at best the Viper is a minimum .4-.6 behind the Z in real world numbers.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad they are coming out with a better Viper, but I won't throw around outlandish claims until the product is on the road in drivers hand and some real numbers get put down.
Not agreeing with you at all. The new '08 Viper will best the FGT, and Z06. It will not best the FGT in top end. If you want Z06 comparisons to Viper...look at Mag results. .2-.3 in most. Same drivers, same track, same day. Actually, 1 or 2 had the Viper on top. Not right though.
Well, having the means to purchase great automobiles does not make you a reasonable nor rational person, obviously.
I don't wave the Ford flag, as the FGT is the first Ford I have purchased.
I certainly don't wave the Corvette flag, but I give credit where credit is due.
You are standing alone in stating that a car that has yet to be produced and has only been available to be read about for one day has now clearly claimed some sports car crown.
This is bench racing to the extreme.
The 2008 Viper may indeed best the GT...but until it actually does, it is ridiculous to make that assumption.
All FGT owners know the car makes 525-550 RWHP stock, making it truly as powerful or more powerful than the upcoming Viper.Weight should be similar also.
How else are you measuring these two cars?
For the record, I wouldn't sell the FGT but I wanted the new Viper to make me
want to sell it. I desire...DESIRE for the Viper again.
