Agreed.
Looks like some of my sources were in the ball park. The new Z07 and ZR1 will be great machines. I jus hope Gov. Motors doesn't ***** the damn exclusivity out again. I see a Washing Machine
in the Gen V's future!!! :headbang:
Brembo's on the standard C7 and the CC's will be on the next ZO6 (ZO7)
The L88 ref. wasn't mentioned during the conversation Mak, but anything is possible. I'm told the "Big Motor Cars" will not be out for two years, because GM does not want to undercut the Market for the C7. They wanna sell...
Had some Vette Buddies that was at the unveiling last night..they said this car is completely BADA$$ looking in person.
Super light weight components through out. "The car should really move" was the words that was used. Some other info. I'm getting from other
GM connections is the ZO6 will...
Fixed it some TQ!!!! :D
TQ!!!!!!! You know I'm all about the WASHING MACHINE!!!!
There's a reason why we stick with the Blower in TF?..IT WORKS! We tried jerking the Blower and running Nitrous on an injected setup on Nitro...couldn't get the damn thing to work. My Dad's buddy Chase Knight...
Plum, didn't I say this in another post!!! I must have a crystal ball!!! LOL. The X Brace and the Hood design will be easy to work w/a Roots type SC. It's perfect for a good washing machine!!!
Drop that compression, strengthen the chassis in other areas and PUT IT ON!!!! YES!!!! :headbang:
I think this right here has a lot more to do w/the situation at hand then we know. The Motor Heads and R & D people from Dodge/Chrysler etc. know how to build a heck of a car. They've done it in the past.
I'm really starting to think that Ferrari / Fiat etc. really put the clamps down on this...
To answer your question ref. the price range and HP and weight combo. I would say no, you're 100% correct. I'm sure the Gov. really puts the clamps down on these cars so to speak.
No matter Ford, Chevy, Dodge etc. If the gloves were off, I bet any three could really put out some amazing...
The "sniff" Test I understand ref. Gov. restrictions and there's no way of getting around it, unfortunately. I keep saying the car is to heavy, because it is. Doesn't matter if it's the same weight roughly as the ZR1.
The concept of racing in my experience is to have 10LBS of $hit in a 1LB bag...
Agreed. I'd rather see a low volume BADA$$ Viper, there's exclusivity in the name. That's the problem I see w/the ZO6 & ZR1, great cars but GM ****** out the brand w/tons of volume. Kills the exclusivity.
I was aware of the Gov. mandate for TC. But it's been played out to much hence, launch...
I mentioned the word "Tarnished" in the sense that 50+ speakers, electronic lights and whistle's, hydraulic motor mounts, steel frame, plush interior etc. IMO the rawness of the Viper was form and function.
Big ci V-10. Power to weight etc. Which previous Vipers were. A rawness so to speak...
The Gen. V Viper should have been :
Engine and Drivetrain :
522 ci V10
Forged Rotating Assembly
Aggressive Cam intake and exhaust.
Flywheel - heavy for TQ down low.
Jesel Rocker system.
Titanium Sodium Filled Valves.
Compression 11.5.1 ( Still be tuned for pump gas)
ECU - programmable
Intake...
