'08 Corvette Z51 Challenged By A '93 Viper (Who Will Win?) - 11/16/2007 6:24:49 PM    CoolestCorvette873 Posts: 38 Joined: 7/9/2007 Status: offline I own an Aamco Transmission in NY and one of the tow truck drivers for our shop owns a bone stock white '93 Viper,he claims it has 400hp, so I checked and they do, and they also have 480 torque (lb-ft). And the builder at my shop just got a black '08 Corvette Z51 six-speed w/ new dual mode exaust. The tow truck driver challenged my builder to a race, who will win? My builder is sure that he can give the Viper a run for its money, and the tow truck driver guaruntees he will smoke the Vette, and says he has smoked new Z06's, which either of us believe, and this guy is known to talk smack, but he is still a pretty cool and funny guy that you just can never take serious! But I'm just wondering what you guys think about this challenge and it's possible results? _____________________________ Corvette - "There is no substitute."

He hasen't come close to smoking new Z06s or even C5 Z06s and an 08 base vette will give him a real run for his money. I say it's a drivers race and really can't pick a winner. _____________________________ 05 WRX STi... only 300 horses stuffed under it's hood. 02 Supercharged Vette, over 500 horses stuffed under my corvettes hood....

I believe it is probably a driver's race, but due to the fact that I think the Corvette is lighter than that year Viper and has almost equal power, the Vette can take the Viper. I know he hasn't beaten any new C6 Z06's becasue that car is in the range of Ferrari's. And I believe Motor Trend said that the new '08 Vette auto is not as fast as a C5 Z06, and his is a manual, so it probably is a little better, so I thin khe can beat the Viper, but it ultimately, like any race will be a driver's race! Go Vette! _____________________________ Corvette - "There is no substitute." (in reply to ljg) Post #: 5

My buddy just sold his older Viper GTS coupe (Dark grey with lighter silver stripes) to get the new C6. Previous to that, he had a modded blue 02 ZO6 and before that a modded 01 Trans Am WS6. There is a reason he went back to a Vette! lol   _____________________________ 1996 Chevy Corvette Collectors Edition LT4 6-Spd~~The Beast~~ 2002 Bagged RCSB Chevy Silverado 5.3L 1990 Ford Mustang GT 2007 Kawasaki ZX10R (in reply to CoolestCorvette873) Post #: 6

The LS3 will have no problem, my LS6 would hand that dinosaur its ass. _____________________________ 2002 Electorn Blue Z06 1993 Mazda Rx7 R1 1992 BMW 525i w/100 shot (autocross)lol (in reply to MJW) Post #: 9
