The Vipers engine is also a few years old now, whereas the ls7 is going to be brand new for street production. I am sure Chrysler has something up their sleeves (at least I hope they do).

Here are some comparison numbers between the Z06, Viper, and GT:
Z06 0-100 in 7.9
GT 0-100 in 8.6
Viper 0-100 in 9.6
Z06 0-150 in 17
GT 0-150 in 19.5
Viper 0-150 in 24.1
Here is a little blurb from MT:
"The most entertaining part of the Nurburgring F1 track is the high-speed kink called Hatzenbach Bogen. While F1 cars car routinely see 180 mph and 2g lateral loads, the Z06 - without the aid of thousands of pounds of downforce - managed a respectable 120 mph while delivering a 1.0g force, sustained for a second and a half. It's that combination of unflappable grip and seemingly endless grunt the Z06 manages so well. Nothing seems too great a task, and only your instinct for self-perservation gets in the way of attempting the impossible."
The Z06 some AMAZING! Bravo Chevy!

Gee. How'd ya miss this one, skippy?

Hmmm. 3 600+ hp cars run head to head. Oh... and will you look at that. the 0-100 on these 3 is bus lengths ahead of the Z06. Now tell me how bad it'll be by 150.
I know. I know. After the GT smacks the Z06 over the curb, it's gonna be "wait for the blue devil!"

.04 of a second is 3 bus lengths? hmmm...
I watched a "Speed" some british show, do a test on the Gt-40 few times over. According to this compiled data, the Z06 is just as fast in the limited testing thats been done, lets see what happens when a full hard shifting reveiw is done with the new Z06, because those brits where slamming on the GT-40.

Re: First Z05 numbers from mags!
Hey big blue I think that we should wait till the Viper GT and Z06 are run at the same track at the same time with the same driver, back to back to back. Then and ONLY then can we say which one is faster, but I will say the Z06 is BADDD ****!!!!

Given the GT-40's interior is a little more "Over the top" but for $150,000 it better damn well be.
IMO the Base vettes interior is more inviting, and a hell of alot more practicle for a daily driver or anything else you choose to use it for. This isnt even taking the Z06's slight upgrades when it launchs.

It's .5 sec. 7.9-7.4 = .5sec
.5s x 100m/hr x 5280ft/mile x 1hr/3600s = 73.3ft about 2 bus lengths.
Bottom line. You'll have to wait for the blue devil. No 500-something hp car is gonna get close to a car already dynoing 540-560 at the wheels.
Oh.. and the British guy. The host for Top Gear. He hated the GT so much... he bought one.

This all reminds me of the 00' R Vs Z06 shoot out, i beleive the R was putting down more power as well, didnt really help on the track in the end now did it.

, Never did i say he didnt like it. He loved the "ease of shifting" and "Handling, besides its slight understeer".

Re: First Z05 numbers from mags!
From Car and Driver
Highs: Supercar performance at a reasonable price, everyday practicality
Lows: An uncommunicative chassis
Verdit: If the rest of the GM line were as good as this, the company's troubles would be over.
They quoted that the Z06 was faster than the last GT they tested. Also the Z06 weighs 3147 lbs while the all-aluminum Ferrari F430 weighs 3380 lbs. and the $446,000 Porsche Carrera GT thats carbon fiber weighs in at 3146 lbs.
How did I know even with the Z06 they would find a way to bash the GM
$150K+++++ for a Ford GT, that looks 60s ugly
$65,800 Z06 that faster, lighter,more fuel efficient and has modern bad a** looks

I'll wait until a comparo to see which is the fastest, as testing conditions were probably different in each of the tests.
Despite the GT having more power, it also has a bit more heft.

GM preyed to the right god to pull off that weight, especially while being Fully Loaded is the only option.

, kinda hard to when the thing damn near takes flight on take off. So they hit the chassis, predictable.
