I think a cobra might beat an 'older' viper, but the new ones are sick, all depends on driver tho

With my mods I have taken the new 04 05 Vipers usually by one to two cars max by 130mph after 130 the new Vipers pull harder and are obviously more aerodynamic at the higher speeds.
On the old vipers I cream them like butter, and love to see the owner’s faces when it happens.
I did get my butt reamed by an 800hp Hennessey Viper a month ago, it was my first loss.
I ran an RT/10 today as a matter of fact. He was an older gentleman and I'm not sure he was into it or not, but I had him by a car and a half to about 70mph, just a short run stop light to stop light.alfman9 said:
400-405hp version RT10's - typically with a good driver will run 12.8-13.2 @ 109-111mph
450hp models are good for 12.0-12.4 @ 116-118mph
Brand new 500hp Vipers are good for 11.6-12.0 @ 120-123mph.
It all depends on driver.
A stock cobra should run fairly even with the first vipers listed.
A lightly modded pullied cobra will run with the 2nd ones listed
A heavily modded pullied cobra will run with the third vipers listed.

At the drag strip stock Vipers dont fair well. I guess in their defense they just arent set up to drag at all. I saw a modded one running low 11s, but as far as stock there was a new one at etown a few months ago who said he ran low 11s but didnt do better than 12.1 that day. He spun every time.
Anotehr weekend a viper went right into the wall only 50 or so feet from the starting line.
Seems like lots of power but not in a car that can handle it well at all.

I know someone who was looking to buy something fast. He test drove the vette Z06, Viper and a Porsche and decided to go with the Vette. he felt that in that price bracket the Vette was by far the best bang for the buck... He said the Viper felt like a cheap car with a really big engine. He said it was scary to drive compared to the vette....tough to control
Between hearing him talk about it and what I have seen at the track I believe it.
not to say if I could afford it that I wouldnt buy a viper...it just wouldnt be my first choice.
I love the fact that the 03-04 cobras can be so easily modded to run as fast as or faster than a viper
