Heres a link. Im sorry guys, but this things gunna get destroyed by the C6 Z06.

No doubt about that probably but dont look over the Viper. We all know the Viper's have shit for traction, and they cannot perform for shit off the line. It drops the clutch at 2200 rpm for a best launch, talk about low rpms. Now in Motor Trend's test the Viper got beat to 60 by .3 seconds by the Ford GT(3.6) yet caught up and beat it in the quarter mile, may be only by one hundredth of a second but STILL caught up so this should tell you of how this badass can accelerate like a mofo through each of these gears. Now they were saying acceleration for coupe and convertible Vipers is the same up to 120 mph where the coupe will start to pull away because of less drag. I know the new Z06 is gonna be a hellacious performer but dont think that it's just gonna smoke the Viper...everyone thinks that a Viper will get smoked by a GT on the track, guess what, your all wrong about that. Motor Trend's comparison did not list lap times but they did clue in on the Viper coming out on top, why haven't any other magazines done this comparo?? maybe they're waiting for the Z06 to come out to compare the three, or maybe they just dont want you to see the GT get beat somewhere where this cars history had come alive. Overall though I have to agree that Dodge is fucking up with this car, put it on a fucking diet!!!!!! Christ anything over 3200 lbs is well over it's weight for performance, I'm sorry but there is no such thing as a supercar weighing that much, no reason at all for that. Now I dont know if Dodge is still fingering their assholes over the hole Nascar shit but truly, who cares about Nascar?? Put it into the one thing Dodge is truly standing for, the Viper. When you go to ask someone what they know about Dodge what do you think they'd say, Viper or Nascar?? Probably neither, fucking Hemi but the Chrysler corp. is playing it wrong, I mean wtf is this Hemi powered viper chassis Chrysler all about, build the damn ME-412.

Edit: I just thought about something someone had said in a Truck Comparison thread, Dodge(or Chrysler for that matter) should stop coming up with all these danged concepts and put their money into something worth while and stop wasting it. Also sorry for the profanity up above, if wanted I will edit it out it just really irks me...sorry.
