    Predictable result... Dodge built a purpose built, road legal race car. Chevy built a street car that you can daily drive and enjoy at the track on the weekend.

    Both cars are definitely impressive, but I would still take the Vette.

    I'll take the GT3 RS. Even if it's purple. But god damn, 3s a lap faster in the ACR. That's serious business.

    Watching the split views the ACR was 10mph+ faster coming out a lot of the corners.

    I liked Randys closing comment on the Viper. "Sounds like a mix between a exotic car and a dump truck when you start it". lol.

    The Vette sounds like a lawn mower from the cockpit, unless that was just something weird going on in the video.

    Those PDK shifts GT3 would be my choice as well.

    The Viper is fast but I'd like to see the Z06 in dedicated race trim as well. Don't they usually have a C(X)-R version?

    Remember when the original Viper came out and it was a POS when it came to handling? Things sure have changed. I still remember GTSjim on Beyond all over the place at Race City in his first gen Viper

    Wow that Viper is damn impressive. I think I'd still take the GT3RS though, I'm no pro-racing driver and I'd be scared shitless to take my hands off the wheel at those speeds

    Slap on enough wings, anything can go fast around corners.
