Here is a road race prepped C6 eating Vipers for lunch... even after stalling on the starting grid, cracking the diff. and running the rear end till it was bone dry and destroyed itself..

Imagine what the car would be able to do when it's healthy... :shock:

Seems their new C6 is a hell of a lot faster than their C5 was. They had a bit of success with the C5, but nothing ground breaking.
Seems that the shitty start cost them in more way then one! Not only did it ultimately cause them to drop out, but once he hit 7th place, 6th place was no where to be found!

The C5 and C6 in race trim are very close together ... there are still succesful C5 campaigners out there...

i thought the vette's devoured the Vipers regardless of their series

I'd say that if the Viper is a snake in the grass, then the Corvette is the hungry Mongoose

Not too long ago, it was the other way around!

Really? :shock:

I forget the team, but they are rubbing a C5 up against a C6 to make some wierd offspring. C5.5 I guess! LOL

There are more C6's to come for Speed World Challenge. A Mustang too. I know for sure, Leighton Reese has a C6 in the works.

Edit- found the guy doing the C5/C6 mixmatch. Looks like he won't be racing this year afterall.

Not the full season - but will make a few appearances as his budget allows.

Is the nose of the C6 extended? And they havn't raced against the new viper coupe, it's just been against the old viper gts, not the SRT-10.

Well now that i've watched the video it's obvious that he's racing against the Competition Coupe Viper, so sucks to be me. They should make a competition Z06 for the public to buy just like thet did with the Viper.

That vette was pretty quick. It ran consistent 1:30 around Road Atlanta. That had to be scary when he was going down the straight and suddenly the diff shreds apart. Did you guys catch the viper(I think) going off at the corner before the diff blew?
