Outtakes: 2013 Viper GTS vs. Corvette C6 ZR1?

OUTTAKE:

You were saying that the 2013 Viper GTS is faster than the Corvette ZR1?

Maybe...When I checked out the stats of the car's power-to-weight ratio;

"DRY" HORSEPOWER TO WEIGHT RATIO:

Bugatti Veyron : 4.10
Ferrari F12berlinetta : 4.70
SRT Viper* : 4.91
Lamborghini Aventador : 4.96
Corvette ZR1 : 5.01
Porsche 911 Turbo : 6.22

* Dry Weight 3,143 lbs.

...that's what matters.

Uh...I think you've got terribly confused. You know, we pushed the 2013 SRT Viper against the Lamborghini Aventador round the Top Gear Mile for some experiment and you said that despite the SRT Viper's power to weight ratio is better than the Lamborghini Aventador, it's not quicker on the straights.

Yeah, you're right. Not as quicker as the Lamborghini Aventador as I tried.

Yeah and how about the thing against the Corvette ZR1?

ZR1 vs. 2013 Viper

You said that the Viper stacked up against the Vette ZR1. You said that the Viper is better than the Vette ZR1 because of the power to weight ratio.

Uh....uh...uh....

Well, moments later, you've conducted another series of experiments proving that the 2013 Viper is better than the Corvette ZR1. You did the old split screen experiment and what's the result?

Didn't realize that in stock terms, the Corvette ZR1 bested the new 2013 Viper...

Yep, but that's just a beginning. Later on, you started some kind of public lobby to further conducting this kind of experiment. What you did is stock only, only the C6 ZR1 and the 2013 Viper. Have a ZR1 driven by yours while the 2013 Viper will be driven by an online buddy. How was it?

It's kinda the same thing. Even in the Top Gear Mile, it seems that the Corvette stacks up against the Viper.

Uh-huh, then you decided to change locations. Then, you drove the all new 2013 Viper while an online buddy is driving the Corvette ZR1. How was the result of your TOP SECRET experiment?

ZR1 vs. 2013 Viper

It's still the same thing! The Corvette ZR1 stacked up against the all new Viper!

Ha ha ha! I believe that it was a mistake to make that claim. It seems that the Corvette ZR1 is still the king!

Yeah yeah but we can't do that claim. This debate of whole Corvette ZR1 vs. Viper '13 is just like the controversial Pacquiao-Bradley fight. Why don't we leave this to the experts? MOTOR TREND, perhaps?

Yeah! Motor Trend makes the best car reviews and the best drag races.
