    Autoblog GTS review

    http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/17/2014-srt-viper-gts-review/ Interesting review. The author "gets" the Viper. However, some of the comments are very entertaining.

    VIDEO: SRT VIPER vs. C6 Z06 Roll Race...

    Did any of you notice, with the exception of the last run, the car on the outside almost always won? The car on the outside was able to carry a little more momentum than the car on the inside because of the banking. The car in the inside doesn't have that advantage.

    RACER Magazine SRT Edition

    I was at Books-A-Million today and I saw the SRT Edition of RACER Magazine. I used to have a subscription, but I allowed it to expire. Apparently, it was distributed during January. However, today was the first time I have seen it, and I frequent BAM. However, a pdf. version is located on...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    EVO magazine has produced one of the best videos for the Mclaren 12C. EVO Journalist, Harry Catchpole, claims he actually prefers the 12C's standard cast iron brakes over their CCBs. He claims they have better brake feel. I have attached the video. As a car guy, you've gotta love the first...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    Well, we've already seen C7 Z06 prototypes running around with CCB rotors. I will go out on a limb and speculate they will be standard on the upcoming Z06. If you take that into account, the C6 Z06 with the Z07 Performance option (Which included CCB rotors, aero etc.) was already priced at...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    That's the same thing I heard. The hi-po version of the C7 would be comprised of a supercharged Z06 for the foreseeable future. Makes sense.

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    AUTOBLOG just released a story regarding the C7 Corvette Z06. At the end of the article they confirmed the picture of the C7 is a photoshop. However, they believe the picture of the engine is accurate. If that is true the next Z06 appears to be supercharged...

    Two new TA articles

    Autoblog has just released their TA review: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/18/2014-srt-viper-ta-review-first-drive/ Here are a few great sentences from the article: " The Viper isn't a car that every 911 owner or Corvette enthusiast will want, or should consider. It is intense and evocative...

    No Viper in Road and Track Performance Car of Year???

    All SRT missed was another opportunity for a magazine to complain about the Viper's preconceived shortcomings. It would probably turn THE fastest or one of the fastest laps in the test, but get penalized for subjective categories such as: comfort, engine sound and storage. Then, it would still...

    Blue is the new black

    I guess you've never had "The Blues"? Relax, it was just a play on words. Honestly, I believe black is currently the best color for the GEN V. It helps the grill and cooling ducts blend in, and yes, it looks mean. However, I've always like Porsche's Mexico Blue. The new color doesn't...

    I mean WTF...

    I share the same sentiment. The novelty will soon wear off when you start seeing three or four or more a day. One of my neighbors has one. Nice car.

    I mean WTF...

    Do you guys believe Gilles' quip about FIAT and Ferrari may have had some credence, and that is why they haven't released any of Mopar performance parts? I know it's a stretch, but Mopar announced a full compliment of go-fast goodies (ECU, headers, exhaust, coil-overs etc.) last year at SEMA...

    Blue is the new black

    It appears there are some Mopar Viper parts (i.e. headers, heads etc.) hanging in the display behind the car. Perhaps there are some hardcore parts coming down the pike.

    2013 SRT Viper by Vivid Racing Previewed Ahead of SEMA

    I bet you it will be a future option...with a hefty price tag.

    Wow i saw whats coming, no its not hp sorry but really awesome

    Yes. Read his forum history. Negative, just negative, and what does Obama have to do with Ralph Gilles, SRT or the GEN V Viper? Just ignore.

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    Looks are so objective. I thought the GEN III/IV looked OK but left me feeling lukewarm compared to GEN II. I BELIEVE the GEN V is damn sexy...it's the curves. You see? Looks are subjective. Also, I just looked at an '14 GTS yesterday and the panel gaps have improved. I don't believe they...

    Will SRT's Marketing Department Kill the Viper Brand?

    So, you're admitting GM's tire swap did make a difference? FIAT has a deal with Pirelli, that's why they are on the Viper.

    New Gen V for $500 over invoice

    Stop feeding the Hamma. Just put him on ignore. Everyone should have an opportunity to express themselves. Unfortunately, opinions are like ***holes...everyone has one and they usually stink. He's had his minute on the floor. We got the message. The horse is plenty dead already.

    Will SRT's Marketing Department Kill the Viper Brand?

    Those Chinese ARE crafty. I said both the tires plus the updated MRC were the big difference. Also, MRC was available on the C7 Z06/Z07 package that also included Michelin Cup tires. Pobst turned the fasted lap during Motortrend's '11 Best Driver's Car competition with that set up. I love...

    Will SRT's Marketing Department Kill the Viper Brand?

    Hamma, I believe Bruce H. is referring to the shocks. GM updated the ZR1 with Delphi's latest revision of their MR shocks recently. They are not the same revision of the shocks that debuted on the car. Cup tires and the updated shocks are the key to the ZR1's pace. I'm not sure about the...

    Sorry! I forgot about the short answers part. I'm not known for my brevity. I like the GEN V as is.

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    PeerBlock, I was about to say the same thing, and I couldn't agree more. The styling of the GEN II and GEN V is timeless...it will stand the test of time. I believe the GEN II still looks sexy after all these years, and I will have the same sentiment regarding the GEN V. Unfortunately, I...
