Not to hijack the thread but the GT runs a 12.70 to the vipers 12.77 in the 1/4 according to Motor Trend. Don't have the issue in front of me but can post trap speeds if needed later. This was the 04' SRT-10. Apples to oranges though when comparing an 8.x liter v-10 to a 5.4 v-8 albeit s/c'ed v-8 but still.
\ Here ya go. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0401_vipandgt/index5.html Viper beats GT by .01 in 1/4 mile though GT has higher trap speed.
