Gee, I wonder how fast you could make a new ZR-1 go for that much money?

I thought this thing had a all new 4 rotor twin screw eaton blower......whats up with that tq curve for a twin screw??? My 03 cobra was insta tq (or at least by 1700rpm this thing looks more like a turbo power/tq band (but without the efficiency since the tq falls so much at the big end)

For $15k all said and done that viper will lay a grand to the rear wheels. The vette won't do that for any amount of money.

The Viper is an amazing machine, no doubt about it. I drove the new coupes at Laguna Seca a while back. The only reason I chose the 08 Z06 is because it's much easier to live with as a daily driver.

Regular C6 vs an older slower viper... I'm failing to see how this is relevant what so ever.
What is there to back up. The ZR1 is nothing more than a C6Z with a different motor (from what I have read) and some minor tweaks. The 08' Viper is a totally different animal from the current car, and the ACR is an all our track version of that one. Bone stock it might not make the HP the ZR1 does, but with the downforce numbers alone it's hard to even fathom it not tearing the Z apart. And one of the great things about vipers, extra ponies come very very cheap.

Yeah... a vette with a blower is going to hang with that on a road course.
PS. I have 60k miles worth of experience in vipers, ranging from a bone stock GTS to some laying 1400rwhp and know more about those cars than most the tuners tweaking them.

your "assumptions" are based on the blind bias and favoritism that you have for the viper. I for one think specs wise they look close on paper. Your speaking out of your own uneducated bias; I would like to see an actual test comparison between both the ACR and ZR-1 stock for stock; no bs and especially no bias from untrustworthy sources such as yourself.
