The Porsche is more powerful, weighs less, is faster to 60, and is almost 30mph faster, yet somehow it's slower on the track??
Either Dodge has a better test driver or the Porsche has serious handling issues.

"Imagine What The New 2013 SRT Viper GTS Will Do it."
SRT Viper '13 is not going to be better than Viper ACR '09, as it is not an ACR's successor. SRT is a much worse track weapon. And you claim 'even a standard ACR'? Haha, that's actually the ultimate hardcore version of Viper.
And I so much doubt if SRT Viper will be faster than 997 GT2 RS...

Viper '08 does real 0-100mph in around 8 seconds flat in normal tarmac, The transmission update consisted in shortening the top gears to improve high speed acceleration and top speed IIRC, but nothing close enough to make it reach 100mph in 6s, for that the Viper would need a DCT, and awesome launch control and lose like 350lbs.

GT2 RS Nordschleife time it's a factory claim. I would like to see the 2010 Viper in Nurb and see what happens.

I'm just gonna say this
Laguna and Miller laptimes for the 2010 viper are factory laptimes!!
And who did the Laguna laptime for the GT2 RS? only 0.24 faster than the 09 ZR1? come on, the GT2 RS would have improved that laptime by at least 2 seconds and by much more if it had been a factory laptime like that of the Viper.
