VERY nice and compared to some I have seen on here. Guess you guys came from the strip with all that shoe polish. Any real time drag strip numbers if you guys went to the strip?

Thanks!

I made 1 pass. It spun bad in first, 2.3 60ft. Then once I shot 2nd it wheel hopped bad and got off the gas. Results were an amazing 11.6@132. ;)

Did I read that correctly that the Corvette had 661 whp with some bolt ons? The Corvette still got thrashed and it wasn't Nineball driving.

From Motor Authority: "The 2015 Z06's curb weight is 3,524 lbs and the convertible version a full 3,582 lbs. Compared to the previous generation Z06 that's quite a significant increase, up from 3,175 lbs. That's 349 lbs in one generation. It's even quite a jump over the last Corvette's ultimate performance model, the ZR1—a car which weighed in at 3,333 lbs."

Curb weight of Viper TA: 3332 lbs.

192 lbs is quite a bit of weight and may be a significant reason for the result.

I love it. :headbang:


I am old school by the current car standards, I guess.
Have a gen III Viper, and a 2009 Z06. Both cars are killer and close in performance, but the Viper is just a little more brutal.

It looks like the performance gap between the two is the same with the new versions.
Z06 is totally awesome, but Vipers are just a little more full-blast. :D

I love it.;)

Great runs. Thanks for sharing. I am so POed I missed you as I was dying to ask you to drive your Viper on the street to see how the clutch was.
I did talk to the vette owner. Nice guy and he only had positive stuff to say about you and your snake.

Next time bud or shot me a PM when you're around pines. The owner of the vette is the coolest guy!!

WOW, up 400lbs from the C6 Z06 to the new convertible!!!!! That is crazy!!! They don't talk much about that fact do they? Thanx for bringing that little tidbit to light :)
