'08 Viper SRT10 vs. '07 Corvette Z06: Behind the Scenes - Car and Driver

[Joecarson36]

screw the vette, ill take the VIPA anyday anytime 

[JaguarRB20]

can i apply as driver cuz these guys juss cant handle these beautiful cars



[Ruiningyourlife]

@JaguarRB20 No because you don't know how to handle anything above 200 whp you fucking child

[FSEVENMAN]

Worst driving I have ever witnessed. Vipers, and Vettes do exactly what you tell them to. Fat guys of Car And cant driver playing with company money.

[FantuckinabulouS]

how about you get your tire grip back before you punch the gas again...wtf kind of "vs" video is this?

[MrClaytonfox]

I live in a town full of cocky vettes i cant wait to start crackin skulls when i get my viper :)

[marcostheman503]

Bro dude u gota use comfort hard not racing soft

[blaziankhmer]

i probably can't drift or set records on a lap, but damn for motor trend, they could of got someone with a license at least

[ImACamaroGuy]

That guy makes Jeremy Carlson look like a better driver.

[stigyo92]

dam that vette roar *-*

[bigjay23834]

They need to hire some drivers

[xm2012]

So I'm confused, r these drift cars? Cause last time I checked u don't compare sports cars by how good they can drift...

[1991mariush]

MUSCLE!Greetings from Ukraine/

[rilee11]

this guy sucks at driving.. he's goin way to fast in the viper @ 1:00-2:00. what is he thinking..

[TheUberMinecrafter]

@rilee11 hes just proving the point

[logan8490]

2.24 i started to cry

[Zeptorxx]

The idea here was to do a U- turn, pure success!!!

[2jeremyable]

salsa

[ggwdodge]

what is this drivers ed?

[ggwdodge]

my viper was repo...

[martiithebest]

NICE CARS,but by dog drives better for real....!!

[DerekYeray]

hehe my grandma can do that much better xD

[boostedh22aek]

drive like a 16 year old who just got her licence 

[zafe30]

@boostedh22aek jjajaja its true ;)

[downhillrider199]

The drivers suck

[xsemel]

these guys drive like asses

[kufal00]

nice cars, poor drivers

[walkersdad01]

u no drivin fool

[smosh02]

these guys cant drive for shit.

[danmark2992]

those cars is not good in handling!

[nicholas1796]

the dude in the viper can't even drive

[Lonrell]

i would love to try hitting the hammer about a second before where he hits it (in the turn) so i can see/feel that tunnel view on pulling it back in line as my horses get heavy and my tracking starts to hit at full torque. If its a straightaway...goodbye!

[350z89]

THIS FUCKING TOOL CANNOT DRIVE.. GET HIM OFF THE TRACK PRONTO !!!!

[StefSyros]

Hey go and destroy some cheap old bmw's or starlets ,so to first learn how to drive,and then try to do it with something better..

[Daaddaa]

Who gave this idiot the keys?

[petermello55]

They give these cars free to test doesn't mean you have to go fuck'em up..... ughh tsk tsk

[munkee221]

lol both sexy ass cars would own either but i've seen way better drivers even on youtube ;)

[460faust]

why are you driving like an asshole.....slow into the turns..hit the gas on the way out....acting like your 18 with your dads new car

[HKusp45auto]

just watch the right foot and i think that gonna be ok ....

[ciuvas123456]

actualy these 2 cars are just for drag and the beuty, i would never pick these cars in a race... too much Hp on rwd=fail turns

[Refort610]

@ciuvas123456 Just for drag? You obviously have not done your homework.

[ciuvas123456]

@Refort610

I said before that they are good at drag, learn to read... And if you want a race car, just buy nissan gtr audi r8, they arent so good at drag but have alot better traction

[Refort610]

@ciuvas123456 "actualy these 2 cars are just for drag..." your exact words. And a R8 or GTR a racecar? seriously?

[ciuvas123456]

@Refort610

they are overall better than viper and corvette in my opinion for the race. I didnt counted pagani zonda r, bugati, koenigsegg ccx etc. For this type of track nissan gtr will do alot better in my opinion

[rfolk]

The Corvette flies through the gears from a dead start. The Viper can't handle the turns, but the driver of the Corvette tries his best to make it spin out on the curves (actually jerks the wheel sometimes and other times has to floor it and make the rear wheels spin out of control to do this.).

[samudioooo]

156 are girls

[SuperDaruis]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh american cars sucks

[MrHumbleJJ]

@SuperDaruis HAHAHAHA really? when you can get a ZR1 Corvette for $100,00, compared to a $200,00-400,00 Ferrari? At least Americans dont have to be millionaires to own a sports/super car bro

[5150freak]

Whats with the drifting of the viper dude?!

[smoking1231]

viper is better than the corvette :D

[gruby676]

@smoking1231 Yes, better to kill yourself.

[Topfueltrooper]

@smoking1231 Corvette is BETTER than the viper. ( on top of the fact the viper is extinct like the Doodoobird.

[UunonMopo]

real men drive with honda

[mcm95403]

These guys can't drive worth shit. They both need to learn how to do a proper burnout too.

[cowboyznindianz]

those poor tires..

[cheaniggachea]

fucking awful driving gtfo

[abnermycat]

Corvette beats viper any day

[1964mm]

@directimpact69 Well that's your 88 hp Corolla (FWD). This Corvette is a 7.0L V8 505 hp monster (RWD)

[Vaz007l]

this fucking guy on the corvette doesnt know how to drive



[alexDreplay]

Corvette looks better, although the driver might be better.

[ofil345]

i drift better than that

[directimpact69]

im 15 years old and i can drift better than that in a corolla

[McKeyDee1]

@directimpact69 Your Corolla doesn't have nearly as much horsepower and torque as these two monsters do.

[directimpact69]

@McKeyDee1 oh i know that i was just saying that i can drift alot better in a corallo but i know where you coming from

[ghettobrown209]

drift muthafucker!



[shafiqyo]

Corvette driver actuallty pretty good.

[DrMcperson]

I'm pretty sure most the people commenting on this have no clue what they're talking about. Hurrr durrrrrrr guy in viper can't drive hurrr. Looks more like they were trying to get photos of both of the cars sliding around the track, just for effect. Now, if this was them trying to get hot lap times, then they would be pretty bad drivers. Just stating my opinion

[MrGunsnrosesfan100]

i choose ............viper

[TheCookiemonster920]

they suck at drifting they need a 2011 Camaro SS to drift smoothly around sharp corners

[Quickitus]

That was 1 boring ass video

[TheTdwpforever]

how much are vipers lol ive never seen one before.

[Endofcivilization]

my grandma whose never driven a car can drive better than the guy in the srt10

[MrYousafBajwa]

what was the point of this test? HEY GUYS LETS SEE IF IT WILL SPIN

YUP IT SPINS, 5 STARS

[Steven11525]

the driver of the viper is so exhaggerated in his movements

[kylestrng28]

AMATEURS!!! 

[suprattkk]

ah kids, this is what you do when you get your license - go get a job at car and driver!

[patwwe]

I'm a Chevy guy more than Mopar, but damn do I love Vipers even more so than Corvettes and that's hard for me to say.

[jdnic1]

Tokyo drift fail

[MrJohncena43]

don even know how to lean a car and you dear call your self a driver

[djamptronr]

ill have about 8 or 9 of what these guys are drinkin before they try and drift

[SuperPluto10]

man. that guy is going to kill me and the car!

[Nosliw1751]

Maybe we should hire some Japs to do some training with our drivers!

[Diabetuuus]

They need Samuel Hubinette! They suck at drifting.

[jcaled24]

There is no way these douche bags get paid to do this. That is as far away from professional driving as I've ever seen.

[Hot80s]

i'm tired of watching this shit.

These fine cars were meant to be driven not drifted lol, silly children.

[ragjaga]

What idiot decided to drift these cars!! thats got to be some kind of sin.

[sebastianvedia12345]

they drive automatics....

[b1llp0rt3r]

I hope each person knows that they were setting up to drift around the corner, not just take the turn. And no they're no profesisonal drifters, just having some fun

[kabato48]

I love how at 0:50 the viper looks like it just wakes up and unleashes hell

[hamzah336]

AREEE YOU FUQQIING KIDDIN MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUNCH OF KIDD THAT CANT DRIVE 1 TURN 111 TURN YOU GUYS CAN GOOD CMOOON

[g81heli]

Yeah, this guy can't drive. Is he trying to corner with no hands?

[FORDGT86]

lol nice drift :)

[bcarlo25]

I've seen monkeys flinging shit with better skills than this driver has!

[abXLinden]

those people have no respect to the cars

[diavolikos667]

you need some practice dude i now is hard to contorl viper gl :)

[TheFlamby89]

J'aimerais l'avis de certaines personnes, mais c'est moi ou une Viper sa tient pas du tout la route?

Car vu comme ça la Corvette elle adhère mieux le bitume :).

[michal82648]

dupa nie kierowca

[ingvlgh]

1:04 FAIL

[tingokuman]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhhahaaahah­aahah

[Cynikal3]

You're dumb for thinking you can drift....

[puremaplesyrup22]

Wow.. Im 17 and can hold a drift. Your like 40 and can't.

[DubLegends]

@puremaplesyrup22 Being able hold a drift in a 58 whp 1995 Neon is not the same as a 600 whp Viper.

[puremaplesyrup22]

@DubLegends Would have never guessed.. Thanks for telling me that its diffrent driving in your car VS. a Viper.

[puremaplesyrup22]

Wow.. Im 17 and can hold a drift.

[JMSPERFORMANCE]

anytime you guys are planning on replacing these "drivers" give me a shout, ill even do it for free if you pay for the flight lol

[wheat18]

What was a woman doing in a car, let alone be out of the kitchen?

[csokko2]

ez egy balf@sz.....

[corvettejeff1]

Not to be cruel, but , they stunk up the joint !

Maybe it was take your accountant to the Track Day!

What fun though, wished I had the tire budget!

[robertrlude]

Geez... If that was my GF driving, I would have yanked her a little sooner; and she ain’t invited to the next event. If that was your GF; you go girl!

[godfather592]

where is the stig when you need him

[evspence1]

its not as easy as it looks give the guy a break u learn more about a car seeing how it spins out then you do watching somebody perfectly drift it every time. great vid!

[TheZman77]

lol learning how to drift in $85,000 cars

[mancilla903]

this always happens to me on need for speed shift

[ssstuart0039]

waste of rubber

[davian426f]

@boatman00007 ur an idiot

[hvn4bid]

Is this about the car or the sucky driving abilities? Might be about the car but this is now a good way to advertise how great these 2 car handles!!

[mrrodneyalong]

I know this guy was all over the track but let me tell, you as a corvette owner and having driven a viper on the track ( a friend has one), these cars were not designed to drift. Both are a handful when you try to make them drift. I have learned the hard way that my vette is no where as tamed as my 240sx ( 352HP at the wheels). You can't pat the gas and literally let go of the steering wheel and she straightens out.

[valakin]

@mrrodneyalong Agreed!!!! Anyone, with minimal engineering or physics or driving skill, knows that these cars are utter trash at this sort of driving. Their weight displacement is fucking trash. Their suspensions are complete shit, and their throttle response isn't anywhere near the level it should be for that style of track use. There are very very few cars in the world, let alone the zero on the USDM, that are any good off the showroom floor for drift. People need to grow the fuck up.

[Barspin7]

i love 2:55

[mirizzy]

These two cars are beasts! I like the Viper's design better than corvette's...

BUT the z06 out performs the srt 10 (both stock) which is embarrassing.

Like WHAT THE HECK man?!

z06 costs about $75,000 USD it's a V8 500 hp

Viper costs about $95,000 USD it's a V10 600 hp... 600 HP!!!

Viper is $20,000 and 100 hp more and it still gets its booty owned by the z06? :(

so sad.

Folks, buy the corvette if you're deciding between these two lol

[Refort610]

@mirizzy Viper "out performs" the Vette, but because C&D decides to add things like trunk space, gas mileage and all that other junk, the Vette turns out to be a better all-around car.

[mirizzy]

@Refort610 hmm no.

[Refort610]

@mirizzy I'm sorry you can't grasp the concept that anything can outperform the Corvette. But it's all good, I mean you got that buck for bang or whatever you people call it to stick to...

[mirizzy]

@Refort610 no.

[blakkness16]

why did i get a boner just now?

[gymman96]

you got turn the opposite way the rear end is goin flapdick! you burried the dam corvette at 2:25

[MrJohncena43]

the corvette is tooo powerful for him

[ffsyourself]

This Mustang is very good :)

[quixoticparadox]

What do you fight a sledgehammer with? A WRECKING BALL !!!!!!!!

[ilikerock222]

hell, I can drift better than that, and I can't even drive yet

[tim06291971]

someone needs me to teach them how to drift.....

[Roww]

Viper is better, because I build some parts of that motor, from ramos arizpe, coahuila mexico!!

[Kela666666]

Muscle cars are not the easyest cars to drift with, if u guys are so freakin good, make a vid of ur self drifting :p hahahe.. !

[212trooper]

@Kela666666 I thought these were in another category, not muscle cars??

[TheAXL35784]

I sincerely hopr that the driver(s) is(are) attempting to drift, because if this is the real handling of Viper and Corvette, I can beat 'em with my Alfa romeo 159 ( 150 hp ).

[TheAXL35784]

I sincerely hopr that the driver(s) is(are) attempting to drift, because if this is the real handling of Viper and Corvette, I can beat 'em with my Alfa romeo 159.

[TheAXL35784]

[ieon]

damn... these people cant drift.... please hired a true driver that who can drift please...

[Clapham888]

I can drift better than that in a Lotus 7... 240hp... Just saying.

[Pinin500]

Hhahaha both american so both dumb...corvettes are outdated manure and the viper

is a flattened truck....i'd take a skoda anytime..hahahah toyota hahahahahaaa

usa sucks.....failed nation of burgermuncing lard buckets.. Skoda is the daddy

[Pinin500]

Skoda fabia Vrs at geniva...kicking american muscle car butt, freaking rednecks, hahha

[parkerzalm]

more money than skill

[nekkopanke1431]

looks like is very dificult to control the viper at cornering... i would crash and probably get dead if i do that

[ivanovsd]

haha good effort thou no one is born a drifter!

[1991VT]

does your driving skills need to suck that bad to work in CAR AND DRIVER? is it like a requirement ??

[its0a0me]

@1991VT~ Shut up hero!... Id bet my top dollar they have better car control than you!

[1991VT]

@its0a0me your mommas ass has more control than you...u work for car & driver? or you just like to suck 'em balls? or why did de comment offended you?

[marek0086]

@1991VT~ "suck 'em balls" ??..... did u not make it past 4th grade?

[nonemc]

@1991VT I will never watch Car and Driver anywhere, they suck so bad. xD

[PL3690]

@1991VT looks like so..

[56pw]

Your one FUCKING, shity, brutal, driver bud. Park the cars & go back to driving your prius to & from your real job driving a school bus. GOOD GOD MAN.

[Pinin500]

@56pw ; Skoda fabia VRS is superior to your american manure......if it came between driving a corvette or

taking a bus... i'd take the bus..........................

Skoda is boss................check Skoda fabia RS at geneva for proof....corvette is a redneck...

[242tdryan]

one hell of a way to go through a couple thousand bucks in tires

[MrNettoLokko]

well to be honest, I don't think the drivers were too "pro" for the Drift, cause i've seen stock cars with low qualities do better than those 2 amazing cars...

[SEMAChannel]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing.

[Wirgau921]

just goes to show ya dodge has to add 2 cylinders to keep up with a gt or a vette

[Burbio]

And yet, he still handles that Viper better than Nick Hogan.

[anteeboy]

maybe just stick to laps around the track..

[emorej06calaquian]

The driver is not professional drifter...

what kind of wheel are they Using?

[silentkillz96]

Who the fuck hired that dumb shit to drive 2:24 WHAT THE FUCK

[silentkillz96]

Who the fuck hired that dumb shit to drive

[musicprofy]

Os dois são lindos, mais eu prefiro, Corvette. tem mais arrancada e é lindo nos quatro canto.

[jpzhouutube]

like the corvette too, see mine:

/watch?v=NyRrvnXL3zM

[ebradahusla]

The problem with the Vette is that unless you care about cars(like I do), you can't tell the difference between a regular corvette and a Z06 or ZR1, only the subtle differences like the 505hp badge on the side. Plus the Vettes are too many out here. With the Viper, you either have the beast or not. But thats only a part of the reason of paying so much money for a car, image. The other part which matters more is the performance.

[55atodamadre]

corvette way better love it

[lscougars33]

they should have done henessey viper vs zr1

[mjpitche]

They should get a driver. They are wasting too much money on tires!

[jpzhouutube]

great video. See mine (viper too):

/watch?v=iXEKGaYAuCs

/watch?v=UTCSYYJt6rs

[msbaugh440]

Viper looks way better... not taking anything away from corvette of course they're still bad ass... but come on... look at that thing. I get the same reaction when I see that as I do when i see a ford gt or lambo or something... not so much with the vette'

[DamnitTravis]

jesus christ that guy doesnt counter steer for shit!

[denley15]

Put some professional drifters in those cars and you have your self a good video.

[TupacX2Pak]

@denley15 I'm not a professional driver but I have no problem drifting my car. It's just that tanks aren't designed to turn.

[Weasel84x]

If i had to keep doing the drift until i got it right, I would be out there all day on purpose just playing around.

[jpzhouutube]

See my c6r race at le mans:

Corvet , FTW
