If I recall correctly, the Veyron does 0-300 in sligthly less than 18s. That makes a difference of just 6 seconds (assuming the shorter gearing version of the RUF)

P.S.: If you ordered your Rt12 with RWD (instead of AWD) you could save another 2s reducing the gap to the Veyron to 4s

Unless you are calling Gustav a liar and a cheat, there have been no other evidence to indicate this race wasn't fair. What evidence do you have? Heck, do you have any other plausible explanation?

We have given 3 reasons that explains the M6's victory..... Drag and gearing and drivetrain losses. Other than the "Viper has lots of power and you can't overcome that" and accusations of cheating, there have been no explanations.

Look at people like Chiromikey for sportsmanship. He lost a fair wager and he will pony up his end.

Gustav, does the Viper race the Z06?

Gustav · 21st June 2007, 21:37

I dont thin kthe Viper raced the Z06.

And you say I dont have a sense of humor. I have yet to see Gustav post specs on the viper and the M6. The numbers should speak for themselves. Someone please post this video on a viper board so they can get a good laugh. Even the M guys are calling BS. I know a M5/6 will walk a STOCK E55 above 100mph but a s/c viper? Come on man

Viper shoulda closed his roof that would help !

The viper shut down way before the finnish line, something looked amiss.
Here is my stock M5 vs a stock Viper. The race was very close. A modded M6 vs a modded Viper should of been a close race.
