    I was going to post this in the Texas section, as it is probably the most appropriate, but because of the posting policies I cannot. One of my good friends, and a member of this site, John Myrick was killed last night in Houston. http://forums.viperclub.org/members/john-myrick.html John...

    Viper VS. Z06 - VIDEO!!

    3300 - 3050 = 250. I am pretty light (175). So, In most cases I would say I'm about 300lbs lighter than most Vipers. As far as not having seen one in Chi-Town. Well, I guess its a matter of when you go, and who is running. Again, I ran my car against a genIII and even though I ran smooth...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    The current Vette is known for having orange peel. The ammount depends on when the car was painted (it varies). Mine isn't that bad, it has some though. As for 52K, well, that is sticker, and cars can be had for under sticker all day long. 2004 Corvette Z06 Option Package 1SA Body Side...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    With the stock motor between 350-360 RWHP, its close I agree. My rough estimates is about a couple of MPH at most 5MPH with a 4.10 if the car is on the high end of the scale HP wise from the factory. But, as soon as you make any more HP, then you actually can use it and make more top end...
