RE: C6 vs Viper
I'd have to agree with Stony here.. vipers are B**CH to plant.. buddy of mine in college had, and I want to say 96 but I could be mistaken (not exactly a big mopar fan..) RT/10 viper.. Well balanced car, but with so much power behind so much weight in the front end it feels like you're trying to launch a friggin forklift..

I would still put my money on a C6. Not because of who isfaster or whatever, but because I've always heard Vipers were a bitch to plant. Seems like the C6are more consistent and easier to handle.
OP, I'd skip lunch anyday to race a Viper with a C6. Good run, sounds like the top end was in your favor and the launch too if you didn't have those run-flats.

Great run!
The run flats on the Z06 are ok in the summer and when the tires are heated. On cold roads, they suck ***....bad. I can spin 3rd just trying to accelerate on the highway (like at 65 mph).
At some point I will get some better tires. I do like their size though.

^^^With a ported eaton, a solid 31 spline, and 3.73's you could probably give me a run for my money.. I'd run with you if I was anywhere near you. lol What are you putting to the ground?

I wish I had the luck to roll up next to a Viper. Seems like all I get is stuff I should beat.
