There are always matches that will keep you in your seat from start to finish and we’re here to talk about one of the best examples. Ladies and gentlemen drag racers, we brings you a fight between a 2013 SRT Viper and a 2012 Corvette ZR1.
We’re talking natural aspiration against supercharging here. Or perhaps the battle between Chrysler and GM is more important to you. To put it shortly, we are dealing with a little street race here.
The two white example of the American supercar model battle it out pretty close. Both cars are in bone stock condition, with the Viper wearing a track pack. Don’t expect us to spoil the fun by telling you which ones takes the win though.
Still, let’s take a few moments to go over the quarter mile data. The two are not just close, but offer nearly identical numbers here. Both the SRT Viper and the Corvette ZR-1 have been clocked at 11.5 seconds, with the trap speeds being a bit different. We have to mention that we are not dealing with a standing start here - the two perform a 60-140 mph (97-225 km/h) race from 2nd gear.
Once again, we get a new reason for wanting a new ZR-1. However, with the fresh Z06 upping the ante on the performance level, we may never receive such a gift.
