Default C&D: '08 Viper SRT-10 vs '07 Corvette Z06

Who wins the first comparison between the new Viper and the Z06?

Maybe they want people to buy the magazine and that was just a teaser.

Me neither

But it would be interesting to know if they measured track times, slalom speeds etc.

I just got that issue in the mail today. I was expecting the Viper to win just by virtue of being recently updated. However, when you get to those levels of performance, diminishing returns becomes a big factor. The Viper's extra 95 peak horsepower and far superior torque didn't put the Z06 very far behind. I really didn't find any points of contention with the author when I read the article. I'd still take the Z06 too.
