C6 Z06: headers, off-road xpipe, CAI, not fully tuned.

GT500: pulleys (~14psi), xpipe, CAI, SCT tune (drop in tune).

both running DRs.

another 07 C6 Z06 vs 08 Viper coupe

C6 Z06: headers, off-road xpipe, CAI, dyno tuned.

Viper: headers, exhaust, CAI, dyno tuned.

both running DRs.

new vids coming soon. the same viper VS the orange Z06 in the first vid but it was tuned before the race. they ran yesterday and we got vids of all the runs. just waiting for the same guy to edit those vids.

I will be running 3 cars tonight in my h/c/i camaro. just wait for the vids

Im not trying to make excuses for the viper even though I do love them lol. But the guy in th z06 seriously needs to learn how to honk it off he'd barely get 2 honks off then take the hit every time.

Also an 08 viper makes around 550whp stock right on par with a zr1 and with bolt ons should be right around 600, now that vs a bolt on z06 that would be lucky to hit 500whp with bolt ons. Both cars weigh roughly the same and some how the viper cant catch the z06?

Bad driver? Not tuned right?
The Viper should be faster, though. Just shows that bigger numbers don't always equal faster car.

the last run they both hit it pretty much at the same time. the 2nd run the Z06 was behind as you can see in the vid thats why. but that last run is a fair and nice run.

you are right. the Viper put down 596whp and the Z06 I think about 490whp. I was talking to the viper owner. he is not sure what happened. he said his shifts were nice and fast (as you can also see in the vid) tires were great, but for some reason the car didnt perform as its supposed to.

there is a new vid coming tomorrow for the same viper vs a liitle faster Z06 at around 507whp with bolt-ons too. the viper performed better in those runs.

all I can say is numbers is not everything especially in street races. it is known that a viper always needs more power to run a Z06. a 100whp difference should be MORE than enough thought but I dont know.

Both are great Drivers. you can see form the vid and the one coming tomorrow that the viper driver throw those gears pretty fast. the same with the Z06 driver.

as far as the tune, both cars put some good number as mentioned above, but those are just peak numbers, there is always the area under the curve. not sure what else

Good runs. That gt500 got a little sideways. Looked like he got the z on the far right. But the orange one pulled him. Like to see the gt500 vs the viper.

I know numbers arent everything especially on the street but if both cars hooked up and ad good drivers that viper should have eaten the z06 alive. Stock for stock an 08 viper is well within zr1 territory until over 150ish. Maybe the viper guys should head ack to the dyno to make sure everything is ok?

The vette hit it first on every run.. Wtf. How bout just a fair race? Nice editing though. The last race the vette still hit it a half second before the viper. Viper still pulled though.

Why is there always a motorcycle in videos like this trying to be 2 feet away from cars racing.

yea first run was from 25mph roll and the GT500 didnt hook. the 2nd run is from 50 mph. the other Z06 wasnt racing. I dont think we will see any runs between the Viper and GT500 since the outcome is already known.

Yes "Should" but didnt. why??? no one knows! even the viper owner thought he will be doing better. heck we all thought that!! I am not sure if he did go back to the dyno or not but I will ask. you might be right. maybe something with the tune!!

but yes both car hooked up great and both are good drivers.

maybe, still doesnt explain why the viper didnt pull on it faster. the new vid will have more runs with a little faster Z06. they had really nice and fair runs. wait for it
