    I AM GIVING AWAY 5 NEW VIPERS - GOOD LUCK ALL

    The winner of MegaMillions was in California. Sorry WANTED, but if you still want to give away 5 new vipers, I'll guess 3550

    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    4.3 is what a regular plain jane Corvette runs 0-60. Add 100 hp (that is a 25% increase in power), better meats and lighter weight and 3.4 seems much more realistic. Yes the coupe weighs more than the SRT-10. But it will be a much better track car than the SRT-10 for the added stiffness...

    600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon

    Re: 600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon What's your problem? Why all the insults? Who said weight reduction is the end-all to performance? Who's harping? You have some social problems you need to deal with. I hope your day gets better.

    600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon

    Re: 600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon Hmmmmm. Why not 625 hp, higher rev limit, more aggressive gearing AND save 250lbs through aluminum frame (200lbs), carbon fiber(30lbs), exhaust crossover removed (10lbs), remove trunk carpeting (5lbs)? Ok, that's only 245lbs. 300lbs is not like a...

    Things we DO NOT want in a new Viper...

    Well, if these things added so much weight why is it that the Viper is losing the weight battle without them. This argument just doesn't hold water. I agree that the car should not have the controls, but only IF that made it lighter than the competition. Minimalist is good, but it has to...

    Ferrari copies Viper!

    Wow, that's one ugly car. I can see influences from (in this order) Rx8, 350Z, and then a dab of Ferrari, and then someone slapped it with an ugly stick. I don't see any Viper in that at all ==though autoweek says it has Viper-like side vents== I see very little comparison in form or...

    MD State Inspection

    prevnine11owner, I'd love to get a (short) ride in that Viper of yours sometime....might convince me to buy one. I've been delaying it for too long and thought I would have made the change by now. :laugh: I'm still driving "just a Chevy" :D .

    MD State Inspection

    I had that situation (not a Viper) and even had a friend doing the inspection (which helped in other areas like headers and exhaust) but the window tint is a killer. If there is tint on they will send you to the police to measure it and they are unforgiving. Even though it was tint that was...

    Road and Puke best 9 Sports Car-March 2005

    They often pick the lower performer in these car magazines. Just look at the #s and ignore their rankings.

    Has anyone noticed...

    I think they both look nice. However, the regular C6 looks awfully plain, like they designed the Z06 first then took off the fender flares, snout opening, more aggressive front opening, and added very vanilla wheels to get std C6. The Z06 does not come in convertible however and that is a...
