interesting. kind of.

 

As a multiple viper owner currently, my 991 GT3 doesn't stand a chance in straight line performance. On the track the GT3 is competitive, but there is no replacement for displacement. It does better than my previous 997 GT3, 996 GT3, and turbos.

 

That srt looks the part!
Dont recall which specific viper i drove, just awesome power, but my deposit is on the gt3

 

Those vipers are beasts!

 

This looks like they were on the street with traffic, how do we know the GT3 'driver stayed on the gas? maybe didn't feel safe as Viper shouldn't have pulled that far ahead.

 

It's at least 640HP/600Torque sure it will pull ahead. I will walk my 991 GT3 with my Viper ACR and it has a ton of aero drag.

 

Also, very dangerous.

 

Lot's of unknown variables; hard to know how significant that result is outside of the fact that street racing is stupid and dangerous.

FWIW, when Car and Driver tested for their performance car of the year they timed the GT3 in 3.1 to 60 and 11.3 @ 123.4 in the 1/4, while the SRT TA did 3.4 and 11.6 @ 126.7. The Viper may have an advantage under certain conditions but to say the Porsche doesn't stand a chance in a straight line is not borne out by the objective numbers.

 

OT but I just read in your sig that you have the Mas MC.... whats your thoughts on that car in a apples vs oranges compare to the GT3.

I currently have a tuned RS7 and am thinking of maybe swapping it for the MC. I know the MC is slower but speed is not the only part of the driving experience.

 

And so does the Z06, yet the GT3 posts very similar straight line performance numbers. A race through traffic only reflects the IQ numbers of the drivers.

 

Actually this vid shows that those figures are probably pretty accurate. The 3 got the jump, stayed ahead for a little while and then fell off when the HP makes a big difference in the upper mph range. I think this really shows how good the PDK-S is, because the viper's losing time on shifts until they are well into the triple digit range, that's where you shift less often and horsepower becomes more of a factor. I think the GT3 performed very well in this video. Quite impressed considering it's not a car considered for it's straightline prowess, that's left to the Turbo S!!!

 

The maserati is a nice car, but I would not trade it for the RS7. I have the S6 and wouldn't trade it. The main issue is the the technology in the maserati is not up to par with the Germans. As an addition it's great.

Bench and Internet racing vs real world are very different....

Not to sound like an a$$, but most magazine drivers have trouble with the viper. Stock Vipers are running in the 10s with veteran drivers. It is also beating the z06. The PDK will have an advantage on the jump, but that will be short lived. I have been driving vipers(including owning a competition coupe-viper's version of a cup car) for quite some time and know it's faster than my 991 GT3. They are just different cars.

 

I love my GT3 but I am not naive to think it is going to beat that beast in a drag race. Plus, you do not know if the Viper was tuned to race.

 

tuned to race?

well, if it wasnt it would still be fair since the gt3 probably wasnt tuned either.

and that is another point. the vid said the viper was modded. and the gt3 was obviously stock since there are no mods for it that make power, as far as i know.

 

That is what I meant. If it was modded there is no way the GT3 could beat it
