Viper SRT-10 vs. Corvette Z06 Carbon | Burnout Super Test Part 2 | Edmunds.com

[@MicklowFilms]

The Viper has bigger tires that's why it has more traction. Corvette tires are smaller so there's less grip, that's why it keeps spinning. How hard is that to comply? This isn't a measure of performance this is just for fun.

[@StackBundle]

So the viper has more torque but a shorter burnout. Hmmm..... viper has better traction.

[@ShotByDrxw]

true GO VIPER

[@johnnysokko6533]

What a stupid comparison. I kept watching to see if the wind was going to blow those two skinny dudes away.

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

lmfao

[@hassantalib3426]

C6Z06S are the best vettes ever

[@91Wildcat700]

the reason you get more in the vette is because the viper has a much larger tire

[@MoGunz24]

@tclt1z28 The Z06 Carbon has 335s. If they really wanted to do real burnouts, they should have shifted early into 2nd and kept them spinning.

[@1337mabiz]

Thank you for the clarification I was too Lazy to explain.In Allpar's words "The original V10 was reportedly built with Lambourghini’s help; the basic engineering was Chrysler’s, but Lambourghini worked on cooling, crankshaft balance, weight reduction, and fine tuning. The manifolds, oil pan, heads, and accessory drive; the compression ratio raised, the pistons lightened, the engine speed increased, valves enlarged, rods and crank strengthened. Few components were shared with the truck engine."

[@166satya]

@focusizhere right, thanks

[@eots44]

Gotta love a vette! They've been putting smiles on the faces of car guys for 61 years!

[@genericdenizen1]

This is how I drive my 2019 Corvette Grand Sport out of my driveway. My neighbors love me...

[@Edrox5000]

@hamzah336 vote up for typos?

[@sixpath]

I'm just glad it was the same driver so it was kept relatively consistent when it comes to skill..

[@phantom5573]

Why do stupid test like this. The Viper as longer gear ratios and wider tires. I mean really...... Why not race them like you're supposed to do????

[@AutoYoung]

Because, it's been fucking done. We see normal car reviews and comparisons all the time. This is just a fun lil test outside of the norm. It's just for the hell of it. Ever heard of something called "FUN"? Damn.

[@ohgodwhat1]

The vipers gears are actually identical(62 mph in first gear) and the rear tires are only 10mm wider...but I agree its still a stupid test.

[@AutoYoung]

ohgodwhat1 Well you get these two together, do your own scientific test Thats been done to death by everyone and say the same things they said while those of us with a heartbeat go outside the norm, knock some tread loose, and have some fun!

[@ohgodwhat1]

Auto Young Oh I would do the same thing lol However, the test is still pointless and doesn't prove anything. Fun to watch though

[@166satya]

@WhenxChristxReturnsx right, thanks

[@skatetoxic1]

oh my god... that corvette sounds freaking amazing!!!!!

[@ButteredToast32]

@166satya Correct.

[@wilsonhonda]

Man I love that Viper V10 !! And I also love that big Vette V8

[@rippinonap1]

@element2Fox agreed

[@pensive69]

first - i gotta luv Edmunds for making this video. second - i want the tire account that sells their driving team rubber. sweet contest.

[@disorderlyconduct97]

i love how the viper has no traction control

[@grfurby]

@929ish so?

[@BeamFixandFab]

thats awesome ... i wish i had that job

[@BEBNC1]

@Edrox5000 btw, nice beretta! love the styling of the neos

[@psmTARDCORE]

@3s3LocoVato I dont think itd hold it that long being mid engined. Eventually the weight will make it grab. Not saying it wont do well but just not as good.

[@whitedemon408]

@800hennessy i want to see ur viper try to beat my z06 in everything else

[@geforce5700fx]

Next ? Viper Twin turbo ^^

[@chevrolade1]

love these burnout vids,,chevy rules

[@Edrox5000]

@BEBNC1 yeah i definitely grant you that one. in a drag race the winner is the one with the steadier right foot at launch (luckily the new vettes get launch control. we'll see what happens when the viper returns in 2013, probably packing about 700hp). and around the track, its all about the setting. if there are long straights the vette will take the ACR. if there are lots of corners, the ACR will take the vette. circumstances and driver skill are really de deciding factor between these two.

[@bigreck]

@mapko15 I agree!

[@foozooljalal]

i love the 427 soundddddddddd

[@sedog57]

next youuuu do the zr1...and give that zo6 to me. :)

[@mikesanto70]

Ya Hoo, My kind of test..... 5 stars *****

[@Maxcaliberman]

i like GM and Mopar so i love both cars! as long as it aint Ford im in!

[@BEBNC1]

@Edrox5000 well said. the rings time are solid though (all optional equip w/sport cups for 2012) they also have alot less rear downforce than the viper. I prefer the vette (b/c of growing up with them). I'm definitely a fan of the viper which i believe was truly ahead of its time in 1991. GM/Dodge have perfected the ohv. just to many gun slingers that talk crap with no knowledge to back it. i see that you are not one. good deal. any given day of the week these cars will out run each other.

[@CjKlaus]

they are both awesome cars and i would love to have either one. But i must say there is nothing quite like a viper!

[@alanack67]

@woofdawgg69 it did

[@the70stang]

@TheBigboySid Ya that's true. It's just the bouncing off the limiter that bothers me. I just added that in for effect. :)

[@Edrox5000]

@BEBNC1 haha thanks man. yeah i have a ton of vids to come. .50cal, ak, a million different .22s, m1 garand. and the likes. i go to the range often so i'm always aching to shoot new guns.

[@Greendude33]

Corvette to Viper " I've been doing this shit before you and will be doing it once your gone" Damn Corvette has come a long way since the beginning of just the C6 gen, cannot wait for the C7.

[@phantom5573]

Very True. Even TOP GEAR tested the ZR1 vs the Viper ( not ACR) and the Viper was faster 0-60 and in the 1/4mile.

[@94jrose]

God that corvette sounds amazing. The viper and the vette are 2 amazing cars

[@audisp0rta4]

@tclt1z28 That might make all the difference if the Z06 Carbon was actually only running 295's. It is in fact running the following spec's according to Inside Line: Tire make and model Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Tire size, front 285/30R19 87Y Tire size, rear 335/25R20 94Y There are probably other factors affecting the burnout results...none of which really matter because it's a silly contest anyway, much like your comment. :)

[@Bruhwhatthehellbruh]

@DeutschSoldat17 cool story bro

[@norulescrew6636]

@arturosrt Thats what Im talking about! Nurburgring is the ultimate test! i totally agree. the viper has more power but its a low rev 8.0L v10. the massive tires will grip at some time. the zo6 has like 3.60 gears or something. also the damn thing is made of carbon fiber! it has no weight to push its nimble rear tires to the road.

[@skillz1855]

@noxventi the bimmer cant handle too much of that due to its fragile differential and axles, i work on them

[@Kamukix]

I'm very curious to know what the Viper would do if you launched it in 2nd gear. What is the gearing on both cars to speed wise anyway, that will make a difference in the length because of the shift point being earlier. Kei

[@VetteAholicZ06]

The point of this is to show that doing burnouts(Despite wasting your tires) is really fun :).

[@JETZcorp]

@929ish Um... it's a burn-out test. There was no handling involved. In point of fact, a car with a better-handing chassis will, if anything, do worse in this test because a car that puts its power down to the ground effectively will want to accelerate, rather than laying down rubber.

[@Stig217]

@DaStampede22 No, the viper is coming back in 2012 as a 2013 model.

[@ivajlkvd]

@ristika89 first is good for 60-65 in both cars. So if the viper bit faster in 1st there is no point in seeing if it will spin in 2nd

[@kickwagon]

Viper has wider rear tires which will hook sooner, but I think the Vette's lower torque number evens it out.

[@Kamukix]

@Kamukix Yea I saw that in another comparison video, I think it's 100km/h (62mph) or so in 1st gear. I don't know what the Vette would do though, but it would be great to see what both cars could do in 2nd gear. I imagine they would both still fry the tires, but maybe an unfair edge to the Viper with a 2nd gear test...maybe. Kei

[@strscrm47]

Hmm I don't care I still love the viper. :)

[@hawkermustang]

@SteveO199150 I know, In that case the Viper has more power, the stats prove it. For that matter the car with the least griping tires will do the longest burnout.

[@ButteredToast32]

@166satya Anytime. :D

[@zr1vetteman09]

@mrtriplesix gotta love those small block v8 sounds. its better than that v10, personally i think vipers sound like big six bangers. my buddys got a cammed z06 with long tubes, it sounds viscious.

[@tayman1975]

@brettvett1 That's a nice viper. I think i'll buy one some day. I like the blue and white stripes the best for it. Your year is got the nicest color i think. I just painted the inside of my rims the same color as the car. When i put on the underglow it looks like the rims are glowing blue inside. Plus i dropped it 1 inch. The kit i got is a led kit from streetglow. It has like 10 different patterns as well as the solid look to.

[@Edrox5000]

@BEBNC1 well personally i'm not a big fan of the vette. i only like the new GS. 15mm doesn't sound like much but it makes a big difference. the ZR1 and Z06 were running on R compound tires (the ACR wasn't) and the ZR1 had non stock equipment on it. i have all respect for the vette and what it's capable of, but i just prefer the viper. it's more out there, more unique.

[@sp33d4l0l]

It was developed at the time when Chrysler owned Lamborghini, so basically what they did was take the biggest truck engine block they could find and sent it to Italy with the message "get some horsepower out of that". Mulktiair tech, however, is not in this Viper, so on that point you're correct :)

[@spawnguy83]

i dont know about all of you but this is all we got. dodge and chevy vs the world. a viper and a vette are all we have to take on every other company out there. so we have no choice but to battle them so they can both become better. they are what they are now because of each other. look it up. they deserve each other.

[@3O2MuStAnG]

@niceboy60 well, this test wasn´t pointless at all. the VIPER and the Z06 have got 320mm rear tires. so both did spin the tires under the same conditions

[@ViperSRTnACR]

These cars weren't made to bounce the rev limiter like that. Start in 2nd and feather the brake and the throttle if you want to get long skid marks without bouncing the limiter risking damage.

[@RebelFlag61]

@zoomboy28 That's odd. When I was at the Corvette museum a few weeks ago, I saw the ZR1 used to set the 7:26.4 record and it was sitting on a worn set of MIchelin Pilot Sports. Not race slicks. Doesn't matter that much, the 2012 ZR1 set another record at 7:19.63 on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. Bye bye Mopar.

[@jgto17]

did you guys factor in tire compound and width? just curious

[@BEBNC1]

@norulescrew6636 Z06 has 3.42 gears and viper only carries 5.7lbs/hp and the Z06 carries a much heavier 6.3lbs/hp. The viper acutally has a large power to weight advantage. Tires almost the same (PS2 sports on both) with the vipers only being slightly larger but the Z06 using larger wheels. The 06 Z06 turned 7:42 on the ring and the 520hp 05 viper turned 8:10. The 2010 SRT10 hasn't been run on the ring but is expected to be slower than the Z06. The carbon is expected to be round 7:30ish.

[@CamaroGuy10]

@xxMafia101 I meant the Corvette, sir. look it up.

[@03sto]

@sodapop554 hmmm, well im sorry to hear that. My friend has an 06 chevy 1 ton duramax that he tows with. He bought it new and is selling it with 580k miles. Not one thing wrong with it and drivetrain is about as strong as when he bought it from the dealer. never replaced one thing on it besides steering and suspension components. if thats not reliable, i dont know what is.

[@MrWoodlandAirsoft]

ummmmmmm did he just down a bottle of beer before driving those cars? ahahaha

[@pepene93]

@929ish of course you can. it just wont be particularly long

[@F1r3cr4cker]

2013 Viper SRT is currently faster than everyone made so far.

[@217champion]

@PinpinKALI559 how many models of these car they made

[@sw1000xg]

[@subaru22b18]

I like the quality of the thumbnail

[@NorthernSkiAndCycle]

Depends on the kind of tires too.

[@Reapxr]

next u should do some sort of a Mercades Benz VS. An Audi R8 Twin Turbo. Now dat wood be TIGHT!!!!!! :P

[@misaelramos83]

just imagine a zr1!!

[@SpikeRazzor]

@youlance29 Its about as American as a DSM car, it might have serious performance but its a half breed like a 3000GT/Stealth, Ford Probe etc. the list of cars like this go on up till present day.

[@psychoclown420]

I'll tell you what you need to do next. Classic muscle cars. 1969 camaro or something similar.

[@Kamukix]

@rapinNtapin damn, I rated your comment up but didn't mean to. :) I prefer the Viper for sure, but the Corvette Z06/R1 are both extremely high performance cars. Kei

[@MrStlover99]

@ghettopettingzoo look it up, very easy

[@winwinniewinfield]

@CrazyStuntmen8000 totally agreed jus appreciate the cars great vehicles

[@19crazydude]

the ZR1 and the ZO6 actually have almost the same exact power to wieght ratio so it would only be like 20 ft diff

[@kenbuilt240sx]

@zoomboy28 I'm a vette guy, but these new vipers are just plain mean. The zr1 performs way under where it should with the amount of power. New viper track times are plain hard to be with any production vehicle.

[@JackoSantos]

@soccer20fourseven any day, any time :)

[@bradleywilliamfuller]

look they used the 2011 ZO6 instead of the zr1, the zr1 makes over 100hp more than the zo6, but i love the leginfilter zo6's 427cuin

[@ChiliDawg97]

@tclt1z28 The Z06 carbon rear tires are 335.

[@03sto]

@sodapop554 he tows 5th wheel campers across country for a living. its not letting me post the craigslist ad for it otherwise id link it

[@VanquishV700]

It would be a hard decision to own either one of these cars. But I'd probably take the Viper, just cuz they're harder to find.

[@xxMafia101]

@CamaroGuy10 The 2008's DID have 345. So he is not completely wrong. Maybe you should look it up. Captain.

[@TheArfdog]

@SpikeRazzor Not sure what heritage has to do with this. Here and now, both cars make the most muscle of all, who cares what engine. Corvette is badass.

[@The72696061]

I have a 08 z06,how do you keep it straight??

[@UncleMikeH]

Hey Edmunds, whenever you want to hire a real test driver, I am just a phone call away.

[@03sto]

@sodapop554 banks is one of the biggest aftermarket diesel brands if not the biggest so if ur unaware of their sidewinder duramax projects then im sorry. The truck is used to tow campers cross country, the only thing he has done to it is change oil and filters at intervals and possibly glow plugs. Whats the public eye on the chevy 350?

[@Greendude33]

@800hennessy No the Carbon would murder a regular SRT10 at the track. Vipers other than the ACR are notoriuosly uncontrolled on the track, where as the Carbon has ceramic brakes, magnetic suspension and a perfect weight distribution with 200lbs less than the Viper. There's a reason the Corvette has been around since 1953 and STILL IS TODAY. Viper's only looked cool the Vette will always be America's sportscar.

[@IsicanA7X]

Corvettes are king!!! next a zr1 burnout test. for having 100 hp less corvettes own. vipers are cute tho give them that.

[@fucktheesshiz]

vipers are actually really hard to burn out because they have the capability to hold grip while starting at very high rpm's

[@issaqanna]

i think it said burnout test not a drag race,but u r right viper will take the drag race and corvette sounds better

[@pontiacGXPfan]

The Z06 sounds like a Sprint Cup car under full throttle. AWESOME!

[@titanium748]

the viper srt-10 is equipped with technology fiat multiair. and the engine is developed by Lamborghini in Italy!

[@The52car]

@hawkermustang yet since they ride on identical tires, it means the chevrolet has more torque at its disposal.
