ACR would have won 0-100-0 but still lose in the mile run but I bet would spamk the ZR1 on the road course.

ZR-1 takes solo time attack 50.0 to 50.8

Viper takes the head to head by a a little better than a car length but ZR-1 wins overall.
Was that a 2009 or 2010 Viper?
The 5th and 6th gear changs in the 2010 would have helped in the mile run.

Is there an easy way to tell ? I would guess 2009 because this was taped and the 2010s came late ?

This was a slightly uphill 0-60 run

They're both great cars. Some wondered why they weren't using an ACR; but, the ACR is drag limited to 177 mph.
So, which one is the best car? Heck if I know, guess I'll have to toss a coin about which one to drive tomorrow.

The Viper must have been an 09...I think the 2010 would have done better in the mile with its revised 5th gear.

Why is it they tested the regular Viper against the top of the line 'Vette? Why not a regular Viper against a regular 'Vette or an ACR against a ZR-1?
It wouldn't be fair if they tested a Base vette, a GS or a Z06 vette against a base Viper. None of the GMs would have a chance.
The base viper against the "Highest horsepower car ever built" ZR1 allows GM to win, barely.
Yah, even the driver said that as soon as he put it in 5th gear there was no more acceleration so I'm thinking it must be an 09? A 2010 would not have stopped accelerating with a usable 5th like the "emissions" 5 and 6 gears all the other Vipers got. Couldn't use a 2010 - the 'base' Viper would have won then. The Viper was at least 2 car lengths in front of the ZR1 when he went into 5th.

Hmmmm, because the Chevy would loose.Tire this, gears that,2009,2010, uphill, tailwinds,junk tires.Think of some more. No excuses,the Dodge got beat. Does it really matter? Nope, unless you're worried about going to the next car show and having a Chevy guy tell you how his car outran yours on TV. Swap drivers or put Ricky Bobby in the Dodge and the outcome might be different,and it still wouldn't matter.

Guess what? I love my Viper and even if the Vette wins this event,i wouldn't trade mine for two of them. When you drive a vette,people say ..hmmm,good looking vette this year...when you drive a Viper,people saw WOW! that is one **** Bad ass beast! Don't get me wrong,i really like some model years of Vette,but the Viper has always looked and ran great since the get go.

The best part of the show was the final event head to head. Tanner got a great jump in the ZR-1 after it was clear that Paul just whiffed on the start. After the ZR-1 was out in front by almost 2 cars, Paul managed to go by him as soon as he had the opportunity and edge him out by a car at the finish.
Funny how Tanner qualified his staement with Built Today
Tanner claims the Corvette is the "Greatest American Supercar Built Today"
Overall... 2 very awesome cars... and a great show.

I had an 09 SRT (waiting on my 10) and have driven a ZR1. I almost bought the Z but decided to go the extra mile for investment purposes and got a GT.
The Z is a wonderful car, but if you are more than 10 paces away it looks like a $40,000 Vette and I just couldn't get past that. Also, they are not very exclusive. In 2010 they made about 1500 Zs--three times as many Z06s.
The fact that a "standard" SRT can hang with the most GM has to offer and beat it in certain categories says a lot. The ACR is a fairer fight and maybe even a standard 2010.

I wonder how this is playing on the Vette forums ?
We all know the simple answer -----------
ACR vs ZR1 at Nurburgring -- Winner ACR
ACR with Chris Winkler driving at Laguna Seca 1:33 , with latest tests of the ZR1 at the same track 1:36 --- Winner ACR
Viper tested was an 09 --- and yes the new gearing may have taken the ZR1 in top speed . That could have flipped it to 3-2 Viper -- overall just makes me root more for Samuel Hubinette to go whip Tanner's little Chebby lubbing butt in this year's Drift Competition.

Here's a link to one of the Vette Forums that I was looking at...

Thats what i said just as the show started?
Still it was fun to watch.
One of the factors for not using the ACR could be the disparity in advertising dollars that will be spent one each of these cars in the forseeable future so why let Chrysler bring a Gun to a Knife fight...
