Good afternoon,
On my way back from swimmign with my son I stopped off at WalMart and as I was paying fo rmy things noticed a car magazine with a nice yellow car on the cover that I thought must have been the new C7.
And it was. I never know that they had stayed with a 6.2 liter of a new generation nor that the car weighed 3300 lb which was more than I was expecting.
But the real interesting article was the ZR1 vs. 2014 Viper. Both had identical 0-60 times (3.4 sec) and 1/4 mile times (11.4 sec) but they took them to a track (forgot the name, Leguna Seca maybe??) and the ZR1 had a faster lap time by 2 seconds.
Nice to know that a 6 year old GM platform can crush Dodge's brand new top of the line sports car, and for $10,000 US less to boot! 2 seconds per lap is a huge, huge difference for cars that hp wise are twins.
My hats off to the GM engineers once again for being so far ahead of the game.........
Cheers,
Garry
