Suggest to him that you start from 60 mph. Then use 2nd for the start. A start at 40 mph could cause both of you to break traction.
But, I'd also get a tune, then add a pair of Nitto's....:thumbs: |
I did 5/6 second gear roll ons with a Viper from 60mph. Strong car....first to get the hit stayed out front.
All in the saftey of a closed course....... |
My 2010 made the = of 584 HP/528 TQ flywheel according to a mustang dyno with Halltech MF103 and Corsa mufflers if this helps. Then we have the weight advantage.
|
Also, ask for a fair race with both of you running street tires, drag radials, slicks. as long as you both have the equivalent of the same tire.
|
This guy I know's z06 with headers/cai and 484whp lost by 2-3 car lengths to a stock 08 Viper.
its on youtube "2008 Viper SRT-10 Coupe vs. 2007 C6 Z06" |
WOT box and power shifting it will keep you door to door. When all else fails, hundred shot. No question about the outcome there. I'd say screw it and dig race. No traction control in the Viper. You should kill him everytime...as long as you know how to drive.
|
Ask "Ranger" to drive your car for you and as they say "That's that"!
no but seriously, it should be close with a slight edge to the viper just for the fact that even though it is 200Lbs heavier it has 100hp more and more torque. if you guys have = driving skills then the winner should be him. If you drove like the famous "Ranger" then you'd be seeing your friends Viper in the rear view. |
take him to a road course instead.

FYI red line is 7100
7100 is 'hey dummy, redline was at 7000, now I'm turning stuff off/down so you don't blow me up', AKA 'fuel cutoff'. http://www.corvettemuseum.org/specs/2006/LS7.shtml |

:iagree: All else being equal the Viper should win by just a bit. However, with 0-60 and 1/4 mile times being only about .2 different, it's close enough to be called a driver's race. It's one I'd love to watch. Just a slight zing of the tires or balky gear change could turn the tables either way.

Get your heads done because your going to have to get it done anyway and do a cam and your set.

Whoever has the better (newer, stickier, etc.) set of tires...

they are going from 40 mph and what about the viper s traction problems?It makes a lot more torque than the vette and will spin even more.The race should be a very close one.Rolling races dont require that much skill,all you do is put the pedal down wait for 7000 rpm and shift.No big deal.The standing start is where this race would be won or lost but this is irrelevant since they are going from a roll.

:iagree: 1000%. I just sold my 2006 C6 Z06 for a 2009 Viper Coupe, just 3 weeks ago, having owned my C6 Z for 3.25 years. The 2008-10 SRT 10 Vipers with their 600HP and 560 ft lbs of torque are a little bit faster on paper in just about every performance category, BUT, they are close and definitely a driver's race. :cheers:
