If Edmunds can get a 3.7 0-60 and run the quarter in 11.7 at over 125mph, this car is very very fast and will likely run at least very low 11's in the real world. As already stated in a previous post, Edmunds was able to get the Z06 to run around a 12.2 at 120mph, so they are usually one of the slowest mags out there. I can't believe someone would say that this car is a one trick pony, when it will accellerate, stop, corner, and run flat out with the best of them. This is a major update, as the Viper now has nearly 100 more hp and yet fuel mileage has increased substantially to 13/22 with the more stringent 2008 standards. The Viper and Z06 are both great cars that spank other supercars costing much more.

Was it tested on the same day, under the same conditions?

Wow, that does look good. I wasn't sure about the new front end treatment on the 06 Dodge's, but now that I've seen it a few times, the grill and headlights actually flow with the lines of the truck much better than the 02-05's. If you look at that picture and then a picture of the prev gen, the old style headlights actually look too small for the truck.

The problem is that you can't just take the fastest individual time from different magazines. Did R&T test both cars together on the same track on the same day? If so, that is the test with the most accurate results. If not, then we'll just have to wait until someone does a side by side test. It is amazing just how large the difference in times of the ZO6 is. It almost seems like either some early ringers were released for certain magazines, or it has become more difficult to launch the Vette, as has always been a problem with the Viper.
