The viper has always been my favorite car, while the corvette has always been my brother's favorite car. that's why I love seeing comparisons between the two of them regardless of the generation :P

@M3hunter: the '13 zr1 as you can see here is still beaten by the 2010 acr (nordschleife times were done by the '12/'13 zr1 vs. '10 acr both factory times, also laguna seca time for acr was stated it could be improved) having said that the zr1 still beats just about every other car out there (barring the acr,918,laferrari,and,p1 of course) so it's no suprise that the base srt viper lost, it's not that the srt viper is slow, it's just the zr1 is incredibly fast.

@M3Hunter
The '13 Viper and '10 ACR are different cars, if your about the performance. Viper GTS is a more "domestic" one than a mad ACR version, which is mostly oriented on the track. And I hope there will be a new ACR. About the tires - I'm not a prof. but I guess SRT shall make a deal with Pirelli, or whatever..

They are comparing it to the old 2009 ZR1.
It would be a much closer race against the 2013 ZR1 has PTM and Cup tires!

Hey VV Veyron, how do you figure the GTR smashes the Corvette? Search here for "GTR vs Corvette" and you'll see that out of 19 tracks the Vette was faster on 14 of them. What info are you using to support your assertion?

Dodge announced that they want to do a Viper Record Tour during 2011 , and it will go to Nurburgring again and repeat a record.

The 2012 GT-R is not fast only to 60mph, it's actually maginally faster than a z06 in a straight line (even with a rolling start) up to 250kph, after that the z06 doesn't stand a chance due to its gearing. See 0:25 into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfEAYnjRSUs
A ZR1 though is faster than the 2012 GT-R, but the difference isn't as big as you may think, here is a video were both cars start at 50kph in 2nd gear, see 6:45 into the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT0_fd3H1Rc I think this race would have been extremely close with a standing start.
If the rumors are true and Nissan are making a 560 hp GT-R for next year, that would probably have straight line performance very similar to the ZR1.
I like both the GT-R and the Corvettes, they are all performance bargains, I just want the facts set straight.

Do you seriously think a GTR is faster than a ZR1? WTF is wrong with you? The GTR is ONLY fast to 60 mph. Dude the Z06 is faster than the GTR. A magazine company compared the Z06, GTR, and a GT500. Without a doubt the Z06 was the fastest car. It doesn't surprise that someone who is a Veyron fan to not know anything about cars. THAT is an overweight and overpriced POS. LOL
