Your right, mb. Still odd that the cobra walked it even with similar hp and way more weight.

Yeah, I make about 545 to the crank. Plus the vipers curb weight is 3410.

So the power to weight according to BHP is:

Viper - 6.82 lbs per 1 hp
cobra - 6.71 lbs per 1 hp

Not taking into acount driver weight or tq. Logically the pullied cobra should beat the viper.

550hp flywheel hp in the Viper weighing at 3100lbs Vs. roughly 500hp Cobra weighing 3700lbs.

About 50 more hp and 600lb weight advantage for the Viper.

Your welcome.
