The Viper is faster to every single speed except 0-60 and 0-100. Yah the Viper’s gearing was not a smart move for magazine times. The Viper is faster to every single speed except 0-60 and 0-100.

I am pointing out that the minimal difference in 0-60 is currently due to the gears. The Vette can reach 60 in 1st, the Viper requires a shift. The gearing difference is what gives the Vette the marginal advantage in stock form. It was a glaring mistake on the part of DCX. with equal gearing, the viper blows the vette out of the water in every category. No excuses will have to be made in '08 though. This is a WHOLE 'nother breed of snake on the way... I am not talking about extensive mods. I am pointing out that the minimal difference in 0-60 is currently due to the gears.

If your going to compare these vehicles we should do it in their stock forms, and not what they can become with upgrades. Spend enough money you can make a yugo fly.

Differential gears. If Dodge or any owner changes the gears then the viper easily overtakes the Z06 in stock form. This is to make the Blue Devil irrelevant. the difference between the the Z06 and the current Viper? Differential gears.

Nothing more, if Chevy din't up the anti nothing would have changed. Im sure the Blue devil will still be considerably less expesive, better quality, and better handling.

Rumors also have a SRT and a non-SRT Viper coming out to the public... poised to topple the Vette once again, and compete in a different class from the current version.
