Just how much faster is the GT over an SRT-10, you say?

Here's some data from another "super" vehicle rag shootout. It'll be up in the media section eventually, but I think it's worth posting now. I've seen some people persistently bringing up an old test of an SRT-10 versus a pre-prod GT as the benchmark of their head to head performance, but here's one with production vehicles. The numbers are slightly off because they are from an exceedingly hot desert test and R&T doesn't correct their numbers, unlike some competitors.

The disparity is not small :thumbsup

GT/Viper

0-100= 8.6/9.6
0-150= 19.5/24.1
100-150= 10.9/14.6
0-60 = 3.6/4.4
So you have +1, +4.6, +3.7, +.8

For comparison, in the same test, the gaps between the SRT-10 and the C6 were:

SRT/C6

0-100= 9.6/10.7
0-150= 24.1/28.9
100-150= 14.6/18.2
0-60= 4.4/4.8
Gaps of +1.1, +4.8, +3.6, +.4

The GT is to the SRT is what the SRT is to the C6, and I think that's saying a lot. The C6 is no slouch, but the SRT-10 is a much faster car. The SRT-10 is no slouch, but the GT is a much faster car. In fact, the disparity at high speeds is even bigger, which is surprising to me(sort of, I've never driven an SRT at high speed, but nothing I've ever driven is nearly as fast up top as a GT). I look forward to track day and drag day footage rearing it's beautiful head in the future.

:biggrin

I remeber that old article and hated how people used it saying the Ford GT is slow :skep , its not like the SRT-10 is slow :skep
 
I have one of the new 2006 SRT-10 Coupes on order, blue with white stripes. I'm anxious to compare it to my GT. They ought to look good sitting next to each other in my garage with opposite paint schemes no less...
 
doesn't the Hennesey Viper have 800hp?

they should put the Viper TT up against the Hennessey GT800.

Good choice. That car looks much better in coupe form, and the V10 is unparalleled for modding potential. Slap twins on it and have fun trapping at 145+ easy. Such an untapped motor. Only thing I don't like is on the new car the ducktail creates this epicanthic eye-fold looking corner around the rear tail lights.

They'll definitely look awesome side-by-side
:thumbsup

Did you order from Woodhouse?

Holy christ the S7 TT is fast. Especially the 0-200 time...beats a McLaren F1 by 4.5 seconds :eek

Aren't those things only running like 5 or 10 lbs of boost?

Sorry to hijack but those #'s are amazing...

Yeah, I ordered from Bill Pemberton at Woodhouse. Haven't decided on mods yet, but I plan to leave the GT basically stock and "play" with the Viper. Motons, 3.33s, exhaust and some type of forced induction but haven't chosen yet...
 
epicanthic! Damm, made me use the dictionary! :)
 
the hennesy viper used in this magazine test was making 1000 hp
