    Fastest Naturally Aspirated Cars of all time

    What stock naturally aspirated cars could beat the Gen 5 Viper when it was still in production? I'm talking 1/4 mile not road course.
    And i'm talking magazine road tests, not youtube videos lol. Most magazines ran mid 11's with the Gen 5.
    The obvious-

    1. Any lambo Deep in the 10's
    2. R8 V10 Deep in the 10's
    2. GT3 Most tests 11.0 to 11.2




    Anything else I'm missing?

    LaFerrari was in the 9’s I believe, at almost 150mph if I recall.

    While the LaFerrari is indeed NA, I think its hybrid drivetrain may not be in the spirit of what AV likely means by "naturally aspirated." That being said, the 599 (low 11s), F12 (very low 11s), and FF (low/mid 11s) would have to be up there, as would the 458 (low 11s).

    The Lexus LFA was low/mid 11s too, no? Maybe it doesn't qualify since it was technically a 2012 model (though many weren't sold until 2013).

    A magazine road test is worthless. Real results are much more accurate. Mid 11's for a stock Gen V Viper is pathetic. Several have run bottom 11's and very high 10's.

    For 2017, N/A cars that were faster would be the Lambo Aventador, Huracan LP610 (the LP580 would be a drivers race), of the R8's, only the R8 Plus was faster in the 1/4. The regular V10 would be a drivers race. The 458 Speciale was quicker but went out of production in 2016. The regular 458 was also a bit quicker. GT3 was about the same speed...a drivers race.

    Can't really think of any other car N/A that was faster.

    Same day, same drivers GT3 was half a second faster- https://www.motortrend.com/cars/dodg...he-911-gt3-rs/
    And most road tests I've seen have the RS slower than the regular GT3. Maybe due to the aero. Every GT3 I have raced against with my ACR is faster on the straights. I can catch up by about 130mph though.

    Good point, I didn’t think about the hybrid system, my bad!

    C6Z might even make the top 10. That and the Viper would be the only cars under $100K on that list... GT3 for a little more money, then it skyrockets from there.

    Pagani Huayra doesn't count. It's a twin turbo V12

    Leave the hybrids out. Viper wasn’t offered that way so even though they maybe NA they still have a power adder.

    Not sure I get the drift here. If we are simply talking 1/4 mile times where the purpose of the exercise is to get down a straight strip of road in the fastest possible time with your stock car, and if that was my main intention, I would chose the quickest car to do that in and I wouldn't care if it was naturally aspirated, turbo or even solar charged. Heck if that's what I wanted to do I wouldn't hesitate strapping a short range missile under my car to help. Not sure how many people bought a Viper for the sole intention of outdragging other cars though. Surely there are tons of other cars better at this than a Viper. Which is why I think in this case the Viper won't particularly shine.

    Now if we are talking about an exercise where how the power delivery comes in makes a difference, like at a circuit or track where naturally aspirated is very relevant and can and does make a difference, the question should then be how many other NA cars are quicker at the circuit than the Viper? But we all know the answer to such a question anyway..

    have you seen the video of the SLS Black series destroying a poor Gen V Viper? Also, the V12 Ferrari GT cars (F12 TDF, 812 Superfast) are really fast, much faster than the Viper.

    I took home the WannaGOfast trophy for fastest NA car at the 1/2 mile event once. That was fun. 157mph I think. I'm told that if i had a different rear id be in the mid 160s tho.

    How many are faster on the track? The GT3RS and Huracan Performante are the only ones I know of with faster Ring times.

    Are Ferrari GT v12 cars faster? Stock gen 5 cars have hit mid 10s. From comments above the V12 GT cars are in the 11s.

    The do around low 11's so it would be a driver race.

    You missed the whole point of the thread. Cool post though!

    That's the most important thing to me. That the car is easily amongst the 3-4 fastest production cars on the planet in this respect-NA, turbo, supercharged or whatever(even though the the Viper is not in production anymore... and not to mention of course about the way we all now know how many "resources" go into these Ring times by the big manufacturers) 1/4 mile means nothing to me really. Easiest thing on the planet imv to build a car to go fast in a straight line. Now to go around a twisty course at high speed and set fastest time...well that's something special. At least to me.

    We are talking magazine tests on factory tires. lol. Not Youtube hero's on drag radials with unknown mods etc.
    I've seen 812's with 140mph trap speeds in the magazines. That's got to be the fastest N/A car ever made?? But 5 times the cost of a base Gen 5.
