it is loud as hell and the sound is growing on me finally, lol
svtdubs VIPER vs 501rwhp procharged 97 cobra on DR's... multiple vids!
- Thread starter SVTdubs
- Start date
The vids you posted arent exactly the helping your point. In the first vid the viper has less mods, while the cobra has less power but also has a solid rear witch would shed some of its weight, and the cobra still lost. And the second vid, holy shit does that viper need a driver. Same rwhp and alot less weight, but loses, I dont need to say much else. As for the original vid, why are people surprised? The cobra makes more peak power, but what about low/mid range power, weight, usable powerband, etc? A full bolton GTS should be making around 440-450rwhp (I think, viper guys chime in on this), so while it should have been a closer race, I don't see a win for the viper surprising. Gen 2 vipers seem to be regarded as slow because they only make 450hp, but they are alot faster then some give them credit for.
yep, you cant compare apples to oranges... two totally different cars, colorado is its own universe up here with the altitude so cars act differently, etc
it was just a friendly race with a buddy... more vids to come

Precisely. There's a lot of people that just don't understand this.
Anyway, I'd love to see the new Viper. Heck I never saw the last one.

I gotta get more exhaust work done to my Viper!!
The extra power will just be a bonus because yours sounds goooood!!!:rockon:
So far I've just got a Corsa Track, but high-flow cats are in my future.:beer:

thanks guys... hammrhead... just go no cats!
That's easy for you to say - Your exhaust exits out the rear of the car!
It's a different story when it's right behind the door!!
I'm looking at Roe's Stainless Substrate High-Flow cats w/ flex pipes. Just gotta get past the pricetag!
Will do. I don't have anything solid planned for the weekend, so that might work out.
Outside of the fuse for the exhaust butterflies pulled, it's completely stock. Down to the paper filter.
im just planning how hard you are going to pull me from a dig, lol
I think you'd be surprised. With the ambient temps we've got around here right now, I don't have crap for traction.
The Eagle Supercar tires are pretty sketchy when they're cold.
Next set, I'm going with the new Bridgestone's in the Z06 fitments. I'm hoping it'll be a better tire, and lost longer than the Goodyear's that GM supplies.
im going with hoosiers new 18" drag radial for the spring, right now, Im on street tires too so it should be interesting with the conditions, lol
photos will be sick though, your car/my stripes will look awesome.

No doubt about it.
That's the biggest issue with C6 vettes in general. That damn 19" rear wheel. Very limited tire selection. The only sticky tire we have available is the Hoosier 19" R6, which is a full race slick.
Rumor has it Nitto is introducing the NT05 tire in C6 Z06 fitment towards summer. I'll believe that when I see it. I'll likely need tires prior to that though.
try the hoosier A6, good results on my buddies Ford GT supercar TT.
i sent you my number on co racing so just call me sat/sun, whenever, ill be around. I need a break from the bars this weekend after last night
