From 12.3 - 12.5 STOCK with 450 HP, to 11.2 stock at 128 with 50 extra HP and -200 pounds.

Same 'ol GM bullshit everyone EATS UP.
I can see them running low 11's with exhaust and sticky tires, but STOCK? Does anyone realize what it takes to run 11.2 ? ? ? ?

The LS7 has to be held to the new SAE guidelines for rating power. It will not be allowed to deviate from the factory advertised rating of 505HP by more than 1-2%

So yes, the 500HP Z06 will wax that ass. And is like what? 40% cheaper? And looks nicer.

Still a nice lot of vipers you have there.

When the Z06 finally hits the street real world bone numbers will be in the high 11s - just like the Viper. Excellent no doubt, but it's been amusing to see how much faster it's been getting over the past year before it was even released.

As for "waxing", drag racers call any win a "wax" whether it's by a car length or by a blonde hair. 06 Vipers vs 06 Z06 will come down to driver.
