They compared the srt10 (convt) zo6, ford gt, gallardo, f430f1 & new 911 turbo. The viper being the only ******* car. Stats not so bad. ******* viper did 194.8 mph. SRT 10 was tied for 3rd in lap times with the zo6 beating the ford gt & new 911 turbo. In the end they like the viper the best of the american cars

Waiting for my issue to arrive in the mail. Sounds like an interesting read.

They should have tested a coupe or better yet, if they want to test a Z06 they should test it against a Compitition Coupe or test the standard vette, not a race Z06, against a standard Viper

srt drop top is lighter than the coupe. only advantage for the coupe is the aerodynamics and that probably won't come into play until over 135+ mph. why would they test against a CC(completly not street legal) that is not a fair test, totally stock street car against a competition only car? Being third in lap times against cars that have all been launched years after the development of the srt still not a bad showing in my mind. Also taking into consideration(with the exception of the Z06) all of the other cars tested cost between $30,000-100,000+ more. Even tying the lap times of the Z06 is quite impressive as far as i'm concerned.
