Hey early, did you ever resolve your overheating issue? If you did I'd be interested in knowing what you did (just curious).

LOL the Vette guy was trying to shake me off. I talked to him afterwards on a website. He's a Cool Humble guy.

did you guy's ever stop and think the vette driver wasn't pushing his car as hard as the viper driver was, kinda loked like he was just enjoying irratating the viper dude hehe.

of course the vette pulled on the straight the viper is a 93 right well the vette is an 06 at oldest the viper driver had 14 years to get familiar with his car the vette driver only a few months to a year he may have driven straight from the dealer witch i have seen more than once. but never the less the viper did run him down try to get a view that the mirror doesent block the shot. and it looks like you have had some track time you drive your car pretty dam good

He had the Bridgestones that all the Z06 guys rave about I have Kumho V700s

I agree, The viper closes in alot under braking and sticks close to 6-8 car lengths away in the slow corners, but when they hit a straight the Z06 pulls away. I would also like to know if you both had stock street tires or race tires as that would tell alot especially under braking.

...just because your taking good lines doesn't mean that your driving hard. The Vette was pulling on the straights, but my man in the Viper seemed to be breaking later and harder. IMO that is why the Vette never got away. That being said, not taking anything away from the Viper.

Cool vid, but move the camera so u get a better shot of whats in front of u

That Z06 is taking good lines, and seems to be attacking the course pretty well.. But he didn't come close to leaving that Viper.. The z06 only got closer and closer

It's pretty close to stock:

40mm rear brake calipers
Intake and exhaust
EBC yellow Brake pads
short shifter
