RE: Which would be the Faster Car?
Here are some facts on the subject.
First the import
3.8 0-60
207 top speed
Unknown quarter
Obtained at http://www.caranddriver.com/previews...ren-page2.html
Now the Chevy
I found lots of info on the C6R, which is a race inspired car, not a street car, therefore there were no 0-60, 1/4 and top speeds as it is a race car. I also found rumors of a street version, but no performance numbers and it is not in production. So my question is how can you compare a race car to production cars??
Last the Dodge
2.25 0-60 (on street tires)
Top speed not listed
9.75 1/4 (on street tires)

There is also another flaw in your poll here, the Hennessey Viper is a aftermarket add on. Therefore it is not considered a stock/factory car like the Mercedes and find it hard, or unfair if you will, to compare against any production stock car.
Therefore, since the Viper is a aftermarket car and the C6R is not a street car the Mercedes wins by default.

The Hennessey Viper is an overkill add-on....and quite frankly....is almost impossible to drive as a daily driver because of it. The C6 Z06 is a streetable car, but the C6-R is strictly a track version. 94rt10ohio hit it on the nose....the McLaren by default wins....
Not to mention, the Hennessey is twin turbo.....the C6-R I believe is N/A and around 700hp....and the SLR McLaren is a single S/C with like 550-600hp...and both are almost as fast as the Viper....pretty sad really.

RE: Which would be the Faster Car?
Sorry about that I was trying see how the fastest of the fast compared and your cant really disagree that those are the fastest of the cars. I guess it is slightly unevenly matched due to the SLR being a production car but still I wasnt comparing them based soley on being a production car or not. Also I have heard rumors that the C6-R is going to be a production car soon so thats why it was added instead of the reg C6-R.

The Hennessey Twin Turbo Viper runs 1000hp.....there are maybe a half dozen street cars produced that push that kind of power.....and your comparing apples to oranges. If we were comparing say the Sledgehammer Corvette to the Hennessey Viper....then you'd have a better comparison.

As for "The Fastest Car" you have to go by what it is out of the factory, and a street legal car. Reason being anyone can build a fast car out of anything. My favorite thing to say is I could build a Chevette that could roast a Viper, Z06, GT whatever. Does it make the Chevy Chevette the fastest car? Nope.

FYI - Lingenfelter set a world record for fastest N/A all motor car in a Dodge Viper....something like 900hp....
RE: Which would be the Faster Car?
I'm avoiding reading all comments... and just saying this...
Simply put, the 2005 Hennessey Viper is the faster car... don't argue it, you cant....
