Gen 6 500hp Z06 vs SRT-10

[v10_viper]

You can't prove it can you?? NO stock Z06 has done a sub 4 second 0-60, dont you get it?? If you can show the proof I'll believe it but until then there is none.

And I quote-

"A weird thing happened the first time we tested the newly fortified Z06 ("Supertuner Challenge," September 2001). The 405-hp 2002 Z06 was surprisingly less spry than the 385-hp 2001 Z06. We guessed that a slippery launch surface was to blame, so we acquired another example for more tests.
We were right. The updated Z06 obliterates the previous one. Zero to 60 mph your thing? The new car scampers there in four seconds flat, 0.3 second quicker than the quickest '01 Z06 we tested and only 0.1 behind the four-wheel-drive 911 Turbo.

In the quarter-mile there's an even bigger difference. The new car did it in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph, whereas the 385-hp car needed 12.7 seconds to hit 113 mph. For an only five-percent increase in power, the new Z06 certainly extracts quite a bit. For the record, both cars we're comparing here were tested by the same driver using the same test equipment. "

v10 viper- did you know that car and driver, motor trend, road and track, and automobile dont even power shift these cars while testing?

And did you know that ever since then no Z06 has ever hit under 4.2 seconds 0-60, even with a proffessional race car driver behind the wheel?? Oh, btw, didn't you say, UNDER 4 seconds, yeah, it wasn't under 4 there buddie. Who cares if Chevy claims 3.9, it has not, I'll repeat just in case you didnt see it the first time, it has not been proved. But I'll let you have your 0-60, the Z06 ran the quarter in 12.4 right?? well that year GTS's were runnin 11.8's, over half a second faster, and guess what happens when the new coupes lose weight and gain power...

I never said the Z06 beats the SRT-10.

How do you know that no Z06 since then has ever hit under 4.2 seconds? I hope you realize that there are a lot of things involved that can affect your 0-60 and quarter times. Even if you are a good driver, when your higher in altitude your not going to be running as fast times. If its cold and the pavement is cold, your not going to hook up at well off the line hurting your 0-60. If its to hot it can also effect your time. You only need to know how to launch your car period.

The only mod: He took off his airbox lid, whooptie. And who knows if it was even before hand. Still STOCK.

Also, so what would you think a 11.990 1/4s 0-60 is?

[Viper 10]

There is no such thing as a C6 Z06. It won't be out until next year. By the way, don't be so impressed with the C6 numbers, because a C5 Z06 will still beat the new C6 in almost every category.

haha, i'm suprised the pussy can drive a manual, or maybe it's just for his edition of cribs so he can say he has one...

Well, I dont think it said but i kind of doubt that he was running the stock tires, or pressure, that also affects 1/4 mile times ya know, although I am not saying it's no possible to run an 11.99. You dont think that a professional knows how to launch a car, I'm sure he knows what he's doing and he did a good job with the Z06. Thanks for that website though, what a beautiful picture he has on the homepage. Btw, the Vipers that ran the 11.8's did it without their spare tire so i heard, so there is 40 lbs lighter. oh, and I'd expect an 11.99 1/4 mile to be around a 4.1 0-60. Plus, that 11.99 looking at the runs he prob had a flat 4 0-60 because his trap speed wasn't all that much higher.

Oh yeah?? Well ya know what I say to that?? Hennessy SRT-10...maybe the 650R, or the 800TT...look at those...can't wait until the first SRT-10 gets 1000 hp.

A 118mph trap speed is a good trap speed for a Z06. I can see it going 0-60 in under 4 (not by a whole lot, but still under). A 115mph trap would be pretty average if you want to hit the midish 12s. 3mph has gotta account for quite a few feet of acceleration at that speed.

I also do believe that professional drivers know how to launch a car. Give them some time to become fully familiar with the car, and they will be able to extract the maximum potential out of it. Calling in a pro to do a few runs on the car isn't enough time even for them to get the full potential out of the car. Practice makes perfect .

BTW, isn't that car nice!

I do respect the Vipers immensly, I wouldn't say for a second that a Z06 could outrun a SRT-10 consistently (thats just crazy, maybe a fluke 1 out of 10). I just wanted to point out the possibility of a Z06 running good times when driven fully. I'm sure a very good and familiar Viper driver could throw down some wild quarter runs say close to mid 11s.

An automags numbers are mostly journalist getting a small time frame to test a car...not what I would call absolute gospel. The real magic happens outside the mag.

Now when the new C6 Z06 comes out, who knows then, right?
