Viper GTS vs. 350Z vs Evo 8

[zane11]

Well the subject explains it all except it didnt happen yet, we are planning on going out tonight with the 3 cars to see how they all do. Obviously the viper is gonna totally destroy the 350Z and Evo but its all in good fun. The viper has a few mods with about 480hp and the Z has nismo headers, intake, and exhaust. The Evo is bone stock. I'm very anxious to see how it turns out cause the evo and Z seem very close performance wise having driven both of them a lot. Well figured I'd let you guys know before it happened and was wondering what you thought would be the outcome. I'll let you guys know how it goes then.

The Evo I think will still own the 350Z...a stock Evo can run mid 13's...I think the 350Z w/mods will only be around there...at best

Viper's gonna own everyone though still...

[YogsVR4]

Thats quite a mismatch with the Viper in there. You are right though, still should be fun to watch.

[VenomInMyVeins]

lol... viper? Why don't you just not show up with the other 2? jk... but yeah that could be fun.. I'm rootin for the evo. I think it'd be nice to see a sedan kick the s out of a z

WAY DIFFERENT CLASSES OF CARS first of all

viper is more comparable to a ford GT
350z is more comparable to an rx-8
evo is more comparable to an STi

^^^^^^^look up
he said there doing it for fun, if i had a couple buddys with some fast cars wether there in class or not i'd still do it.
also the 350 is modded like he said, the real test is gonna be a modded 350z vs bone stock evo. you probably know your stuff, they shouldn't be to far apart with those mods

[white2abbit]

lol sry i didn't realize that....i didn't read everything, i was in a hurry...

Yup.. but slalom isn't the end all for comparing handling.
Oh and the 2003 vipers(srt-10) run 75mph in the slalom as well, and it has a ton more power
The viper def. would kill those other cars with it's massive power advantage(not only HP, torque too, cuz you wouldn't need to be downshifting all the time. In the right hands anyway it would whip em.

Thats going to be a close run with the slightly modded 350Z vs. the evo. As far as going through the cornering, you may have a tough time keeping up with the evo, but I think with the few extra mod's and rwd you should be able to stay, if not slightly pull on him on the straights. As for the Viper, give him the camera...lol. Post with the results, I'm anxious to hear how it went.

[Jimster]

The Viper will murder them both on the Straights, the corners- both the 350Z and Evo VIII are at an advantage due to the lifeless Jeep Cherokee steering setup of the Viper- though the Viper otherwise will murder them pretty much.......

jeep cherokee steering setup of the viper?? Elaborate! Please!

yea i heard about this... about the confidence of its steering or how it feels, but thats from people i knew who have driven it for the first time, not people who actually own one and have gotten used to it.

[Neutrino]

yes the viper sucks in the hand of an amateur....its a very unforgiving car....but in the hands of a pro it can do some amazing things

[VenomInMyVeins]

confidence of its steering? an unforgiving car? please elaborate guys. What does it do that makes it a hard car to drive? is it it's oversteer, and excessive torque that's prone to make the wheels spin? or what?
