You are sorely mistaken if you think ANY stock Viper will stand a chance at all of rolling with the new ZR1.
The
HUGE torque curve absolutely CRUSHES even the new 8.4l Viper from 1600rpm all the way past its redline.
To put it into perspective I have been visiting with the folks who built my car (they have a new 8.4l 600bhp Viper as a shop 'test and tune' car at the moment) and they concur, the new ZR1 will crush my car (660bhp) from a roll and totally obliterate the new Viper...
How badly? The new ZR1 has pretty much the same power delivery as every supercharged stroker LS2/LS6 that has ever been produced by a tuner.
My car may stand a chance in the very upper reachs og my rev range, but would probably need to run to 200mph to mak eup the 5 or 6 cars it would pull on me from a 60mph roll.
To even think the 8.4l will stand a chance in a street encounter is insane.
The
only way a Viper will stand a chance against the LS9 is if it is blown itself.
Period.
End of story.
No contest.
On a road course in the heat of summer, it might very well be another story - at least, this is what we all suspect - but what of the LS9 has little to no heat soak?
I can tell you if this new supercharger is able to keep heat soak at bay, then my LS7 might just go from 660bhp. to 660rwhp and still be a usable track day car
In case you missed it, eher is a dynochart that has been floating around - read em and weep: (my cars curves shadow the 8.4l Viper, peak about 20ftlb higher and 40bhp higher and makes power all the way to 7100rpm)
