all this for $4195.........its true

I think that in stock form the zo6 will put a solid beating on the viper. The last z06 with 100 less horsepower could run pretty close to the viper. I don't see why this one thats more race car than anything shouldn't be able to beat a viper.

The Z06 is going to own anything in it's price range, which has been confirmed by GM to start at $65,800. A base 997 911 is $69,300 fyi. It's going to handle the Viper, no doubt in my mind on that. In fact it may even best the F430 and at nearly 1/4 the price that is quite an accomplishment.

Few extra things to add about the new Z06.
The Curb Weight is 3132, That's 6.2 lbs/hp
The HP is rated at 505, TQ is 470 lb-ft
0-60 in 3.7 sec in first gear, 1/4 mile in the 11s.
It is truely a race car for the street.

yeah the c6 will beat the viper, nothin can compare to the vette in that price range stock
