I always dig your articles mang, another great one.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that quite a bit. Did you get the latest issue?
OK, so the Viper pulled hard in the straight. Anyone can go fast straight!
Take a look at any top track records and the Viper variants are always in the Top.
That GT350R looks like a great car, but it won't touch a Viper on the Track (I've run down all sorts of cars on Hallett that should be "faster" but the drivers weren't very good)
Last I saw, there is a 20 second difference in times at the Nurburgring. That's an eternity.

Short track, lots of corners gives the advantage to the Mustang. In a drag race, the Viper would win, no contest. Nurburgring is a completely different monster. This is an apples to apples comparison, and I included my lap times in both vehicles at the same track. within a 10th of a second, and I know I could have gone faster in the Mustang had the track been clear or passing allowed. And yes, driver ability is absolutely a factor.
In production cars, yes. Boring! Drive an IndyCar at the same track and it'll change your mind.
Huh? Change my mind about production Vipers being much faster than a GT350R? I've driven about every car type on tracks, from Formula Mazda to Legends to an Ariel to Blown Vipers and lots in between...
What does an Indy Car have to do with this topic? Of course track cars are different, lol.
It would be more comparable to bring Motorcycles into the discussion.
No. I made a distinction between production and track cars in the context of track records. Being a former professional driver, very few production cars impress me.
