For the most recent Head 2 Head, between the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qWYJQClIyY

Corvette is the poor man's viper. Inferior in every way except price.
>>14192277
Except it's scarier. With the Viper, you can only get one person to shit his pants (the passenger), with the Z06, you can get both.
>>14192287
keks.
Although, having tested the previous 2014 SRT viper, i have to say, they're pretty good at making you shit your pants too.
Those things are fucking raw. It's like shaving your face with a chainsaw. The vette just feels much tamer. Both fun though, so whatever.
>gest raped by the GTR
>gets raped by the Viper
kek
ya the viper has god tier handling
but they can't even sell vipers.
chevy sold 8,000 Z06s

LT4 confirmed shiet
>>14193139
not really.
the intercooler pump was not plugged in so the computer would not allow the car to make full power.
the engine was 100% fine
The C7 in real world applications isn't any faster or better at corners than the last year of the C6 ZR1
So of course SRT can get one last punch in before it goes under
>>14193170
I talked to a guy who owned both cars, and he said the Zr1 can't even hold a candle to the new Z06.
>>14193203
He can say what he wants, but with the same driver on the same course they run virtually the same times at Laguna
The ZR1 on it's last legs at LS against the original Viper ran a 1:33 iirc
>>14193222
they aren't even close
Z06 stomps on it

neat
>>14193229
Fair enough
>>14193229
>>14193248
it gets spanked by a c5. cherry pick all the journalism tests set years apart if you want, like the tripfag said in real world applications it cant stand up to the previous gens.
>but the c5 worth 10k has a sueprcharger slapped on it!

>>14193248
You fucking idiot.
The C7 Z06 lap was set by Jim Mero, possibly one of the fastest Corvette drivers in the world. The 918 time was set by a magazine editor.

>apologising for some factory fuckup you will never own
Why?
Apparently the LT4 is junk and overheats from the factory

Dont bother. Americans think horribly inconsistent 1st party vs 3rd party times mean anything. Even 3rd party vs 3rd party doesnt really mean anything.
>one day c$d/motortrend do a few hot laps in a euro car, thats good enough
>another day c$d/motortrend do an entire days worth of hot laps in an american car, thats more than good enough
Pobst was 2 seconds slower than he was before. His previous Laguna Seca time was 1:28.65
>>14193370
I ain't on your side, buddy. Euros were screaming about Nurburgring times up until the Japanese and us started crushing it.
>>14193403
The thing is though Nurburgring times are done by the manufacturer, who are willing to stay there for a month to get the best possible time. And they dont leave until they reach their set goal. They are more comparable than results of a few hotlaps vs results of an entire days testing.
>>14193422
it also results in cars that are not stock/manufacturer/retail spec that the customer gets
>>14193433
>that the customer gets
So Type R turbo owners will get a free roll cage and chassis lightening?
>>14193446
>roll cage
all nurburgring cars use one
>chassis lightening

I'm surprised the vette didn't run hot during testing.
