I like the vette better because its cheap, it owns, and if you put some twin turbos on a c6 zo6 or just a c6, theres no comparison because it has 630-700 hp. And a c6 coup vette is 56,000 bucks pretty darn cheap isnt it.
if u want more thrill, get the viper, if u want most of that thrill but still be somewhat more safe and have a daily driver, take the Z06, therefore, Z06 is what i want.
And I'm gonna take their word for it? When in their mag. they voted the vette better because of truck space and quiet ride?? Who spends that kinda money for truck space??
every review i've seen on the viper says it doesn't handle bad but the feed back is terrible. i don't know personaly because i'll probably never drive one but something about a car that can put the fear of god in you makes me kinda want to drive one.
Viper had a more awesome drive,the noise, the shake,the danger, when you drive a viper you feel that the car is not your friend, can be faster than corvette in strait line, but not so much, but when the corner comes in, with the corvette you will have fun, in the viper you will be probably dead
Dont get me wrong...i know the viper is a rediculasly fast car, but one i drove it, it left alot to be desired as far as overall comfort goes.....if your gonna take a car just to the track then get a viper, but if your looking for a fast car that is comfortable and that doesnt set your feet on fire through the firewall then go with a z06
dont get me wrong i think the corvette is a good car i dislike the way they took the looks of a viper and the f430 and i dont like that it tries to compete with the viper but it is a very fast car but so is the gtr35 which is hugely faster than the vette and was only outperformed in the slolam by the viper. i dislike skylines though. and the zr1 was intially planned to be turbo'ed but the motor kept blowing so they had to supercharge it. vipers gobble up forced induction and ask for more.
well here is another factor that people seem to neglect when it comes to super high performance vehicles. corvettes are alot less reliable (especially the z06) than the viper is. i have seen all kinds of them breakdown infront of me. there was one today my gf just told me about that she was behind and he was flooring it around like a ricer or something and his car started smoking really badly and he had to pull over. ive never once heard of or seen a viper broken down.
Well...the race cars i build win and the race cars I build sell...and i use rented track time and yes...skid pads as well as other "tools" to optimize handling and response .... I have 22 yrs racing experience starting with karts, and have been building or rebuilding all types of competition cars for 13 yrs.....and i'm still learning new stuff everyday....but i assure you...i am no amature
(3/3) (you don't need to be a member for threads called ) Springs vs. Sway Bars and refer to posts 19&20 and "Turn-In Response", especially post #33. I promise you Fatboy and Greg know more about this stuff than most SCCA racers bar the national champions. Fatbody was a CART race engineer and has worked with F-1 teams, Greg designs suspensions for Ford Australia and has worked with Lotus. To say a skid pad is relevent to a race track displays a person amateur knowledge of motorsports.
Ive always been amazed by car and driver's testing of the viper. sometimes it can go 0-60 in 3.4 sometimes its 4.5. And regardless of how fast the viper goes 0-60 the vette somehow beats it. i know for a fact the new vipers do 0-60 in about 3.4 seconds now but somehow according to car and driver (who were recently found out to be funded to promote gm particularly the z06) the viper with 100 more hp is slower than the viper with just 500. its incredible what people will believe. do some research.
im talking about acceleratoin only. btw all tests show that the viper handles ever so slightly better than the vette but it does handle better. it pulls a full 1.00 g's and the vette z06 pulls .99 g's
Skid pad hardly tells diddly for how well a car will handle. The corvette is simply more stable at the limit of traction, and transitions quicker and easier.
Dont get me wrong- I LOVE the viper. I see it as a pure brute and raw machine. Theyre incredible fun to drive.
I bet George Foreman could beat up the driver of either the Viper or the Z06. I like the sound of the LS7 better than the UPS truck-like v-10, although both are awesome. But let's not forget the fact that George Foreman is very VERY strong.
ive driven both cars.... both insanly fast, the viper has more raw muscle car feel to it (although not by much), but the vette is more comfortable and has a smoother ride. Also the V-10 in the viper starts roasting your feet through the firewall after only about a half hour. Dont get me wrong i was a viper fan for years, but after driving them both on a track i gotta go with the Z06....i just cant wait for the ZR1
the interior design of both is awsome i like the new hood on the viper, and like its sound system. vette has a great handling system better then viper's but they both good too ^.^
this is all bullshit, this isnt a car and driver test, this is just random footage of the 2 cars sliding drifting and doing burnouts, the guy who made this is obviously a vette fan, so he got on a movie maker program and wrote "z06 wins" at the top, you can tell its fake, no commentary, or no actual tests! just fucking around in the two cars. the viper owns the vette in power and looks, this vid is an absolute fake!!!
your a fucking idiot, this is video footage of car and drives testing between the two cars, the ZO6 won because it handles better, the viper has better grip, but when it lets go you might as well consider yourself a woman driver, theres no way you can get out of that slide, try reading the actual artive (car and driver september 2007 issue)
Didn't they add that extra what, 90 fucking horsepower to beat that Vette? And it still fell short!? I think if they want the Viper to perfrom with the rest of these cars in its class, they need to dump the V-10 and start thinking about a 600HP Hemi or some V-8, an alternative to that heavy V-10. Just a thought.
vipers dont pull as hard all the way though the powerband like the vette does and doesnt have the cornering and braking abilities like the corvette does. and if you wanted 600hp in the vette full exhaust, intake, cam and heads will give you about 620hp
20 thousand dollars more than the corvette and any corvette junkies know that they made the suspension softer for the 2007 year. i have the 2006 year which got the second fastest lap at the nordschife to the porsche carrera GT
Who said anything about feeling the difference of .01 G's? When someone says the Viper "doesn't have the cornering abilities" of the Vette, I show them they are wrong. .01 G's is .01 G's. It certainly isn't LESS, is it? Think next time you post, you are clueless.
Pointless?! your clueless...a skid pad lets "real" racers tweak their suspensions and allows them to see if they gained or lost lateral G's (that's grip in the corners there young'un)
Thats ok "oldtimer" I wouldnt expect you to understand car dynamics beyond magazine bench testing.
Of course hey, maybe you could elaborate as to how much relevance a lateral g spike on a skidpad can hold to a cars true handling capabilities? Educate this young'un a bit.
understand??....haaaaa....i road race and build championship corvettes, i have forgotten more about automotive physics and dynamics than your 22 yr old ass even knows....and i have 2..count them... 2 SCCA championships won in the past 3 yrs (as seen on t.v.) to back that shit up, stop talking out your ass and get educated...young'un!, If you don't understand my initial explanation then stick to drifting (which i was doing b4 the ricers even made it famous).
Careful kiddies, he can read a profil to see your age. Get educated? You may have missed this in your sad attempt at shit flinging from atop your sad high horse, but I clearly asked you in your proverbial all knowing wisdom to help educate me. If youre unable to then no big problem, just admit you cant. No one will think any less of you.
If you can't grasp the simplified explanation I initially gave you then I'm not wasting my time on trying to explain it any further. Your just some kid that likes to talk shit but don't know shit. Go get a car and start racing...when other cars start pulling on you through the corners enabling them a greater top speed at the end of the straight aways because you cant put the power to the track due to poor handling then maybe your small brain will grasp the relavence of skid pad testing. nice try
