Well I guess I'm late to the party, but in this case it's probably a good thing. The MT article in many ways is just another in a long line of articles written by an amateurish magazine by an amateur automotive journalist. Other than the track/performance tests the article reveals nothing. The...
I'm not sure the Viper doesn't have the better gear ratios. Doesn't the 2013 ZR1 have less desirable gear ratios as compared to the 2012? That's what's being said over on the vette forum.
From Skank on the corvette forum:
" ZR1 had their PDE package (same as Nordschleife run) and the Viper had Pirelli R rubber. I think it was 60 or 80 tread wear rating. The Viper tires were treaded though. Interesting comments from Randy Pobst about the handling dynamics of the new Viper. Of...
I think the biggest difference has to do with the driver, Jim Mero. He shaved off 5 seconds from the previous "best" time recorded by a ZR1 at VRI and in the process beat the ACR. He also eclipsed the previous time registered for a ZR1 at the Nurburgring. In order to come up with all the right...

-The reviews comfirmed my feelings that this was going to be an awesome car.
-This is the first Viper I've wanted to own and quite frankly I just never see them on the road. So it's difficult to want something you never see.
-Obviously I haven't seen any 2013's on the road, other than my...
