No New vette will "wax" a viper if alone beat it. Remember GenII's were running 11.6 at 121 by MT.... c'mon man, it's the SAME 'OL GM HYPE every damn year for the vettes...
Will the vette hit 11's ? Yes, absolutley. Will they get better times? perhaps yes as there are MANY MANY MANY more Vettes that drag more than SRT10's... FACT. Get the SRT's in drivers hands and they will pull mid 11's at 123-124 STOCK. It's already happend.
Will a vette "wax" a viper? Yes It will, with Zaino and detailer in the pits after it looses..
Thanks for your time!

Benchracing? Myself as well as Chuck just gave you specifics of real world HP #'s and ET's.

Hype?
The C5-C6 vettes have been respected by the entire industry, and car enthusiasts alike. One of the few cars that actually gets hype
and lives up to it.
Im with Chuck on this, it sounds like this will be a drivers race, and IMO both are exceptional automobiles I'd love to own. But my preference would be the Vette.
