I know the 4.5 Cebera has 420HP and 380TQ, but the intresting thing is that the car weighs 2425Lbs Only !!!!

The 4.2 Cebra has 360HP and 320TQ with the same weight.

4.5 specs 0-60 3.9sec. 0-100 8.3sec topspeed N/A
4.2 specs 0-60 4.2sec. 0-100 9.9sec topspeed 180mph

So i guess the 4.5 will beat the current viper, i dont know about the SRT one with the 500HP/525TQ and less wieght than the current II Gen. The 4.2 will have a hard time beating the viper, but i would say it should be a good compititor to the Z06.


Oh by the way do u know what does the 4.2 and 4.5 runs in the 1/4mile?

yeah but the 4.5 cebera cost (drum roll) 40,000 which is cheeper than both the dodge and z06 but abliterates them both. Face it lads brits make better cars so if ya gunna try n compare the sc S2000 to a monster of a car screw the z06 and try the TVR on for size

The new aston martins are good looking cars, but more luxury then sport. A viper or a Z06 would OwN one on a twisty track!

How does the Z06 beat them by far? The Ferrari is far better looking, makes the most wonderful sounds, achieves similar acceleration, higher top speed, and superior handling. It also has a superbly styled interior using the highest quality materials. The Z06 is a damn quick car and represents great value. Ferrari beater it ain't. Toss the keys of a Z06 and a Modena on the table. Which set would you grab for a drive?
