Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
The C&D video states the Z will be under 100K fully loaded. Sounds like a ridiculously good deal. The MT video talks about the new 8 speed. Chevy states that under full throttle shift times are actually eight-hundredths of a second faster than the Porsche's PDK. A targa top is also available...- Caddylac10

Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
This was posted on other forums. Looks like its going to be the business. "Scooped" from the '15 Z06 reveal: - 8L90E 8-Speed Automatic available! Only 620+ hp car so equipped - Steel torque tube replaced with woven c/f - 60% more rigid chassis, with roof on, than C6 Z06 - 2.2" wider front...- Caddylac10

Possible C7 Z06 detail
The engine choice has a lot to do with the fact that it's going to be shared with the new CTS-V. GM is going to kill two birds with one stone; they aren't building one-off motors like the LS7 anymore. Both the V and Z06 are said to make over 600 hp but how much is unknown. I suspect 625 hp - 650...- Caddylac10

SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!
It would be fair to give the Viper the opportunity to have equivalent tires and breaks but that's where it stops. The ACR never was and never will be a true competitor to not only the ZR1, but cars in its class. The ZR1 would easily have smashed the TA with an ACR set up. The aero on the ACR...- Caddylac10

SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!
It's great to see SRT make some quick changes. The GTS should have been the TA from the start. However, it's almost an insult to the Viper when so many people brag about the Viper finally beating the ZR1. It wasn't done the first time around so a special edition had to be made. 0.08 is the...- Caddylac10

Motor Trend discusses controversy
Thanks George. You're right, supplier and contract issues obviously come into play, but my point was that tires and brakes are bolt on pieces of hardware that would immediately affect the performance of the car with a little tuning. Assuming SRT had those pieces, they could be installed and...- Caddylac10

Motor Trend discusses controversy
Hey guys. It's my first post and I wanted to jump on this thread because I love Vettes and Vipers, but I think the one guy hit the nail on the head... The Viper is an amazing car but there has to be some disappointment when their target was standing in front of them for 4 years. It's very clear...- Caddylac10
