IMO it wasn't as bad as I thought. It was veiled praise if you read between the lines. He praised the handling, interior refinement, pedal placement, rigidity, steering feel, acceleration, horsepower and torque etc. All he really ranted about negatively was the claustrophobic interior, music...
Agreed Bushido.
Dman yeah it's just my opinion. So not really stating my perception of the ACR as the end all be all. I personally just see the ACR as a much more track focused car than any of the cars mentioned.
One way I look at the base C7 is that its about as fast as the original 96 Viper GTS. Not bad as the original GTS is still a fast car. The upcoming Z06 and possible ZR1 will surely one up the current Viper models. Especially considering GM's R&D budget compared to SRT's and them knowing...
Im with this as well. Those rims just dont seem up to par with the rest of the car. Imho the stockers look 10 times better. But as I said just my opinion. Im sure what ever you end up doing will be to your liking. Maybe in 19/20's with a silver finish or something they would look better...
Yeah. I hope he can get it in this gen viper. I concur on the rest of your post as well. DCT is deffinately in the future for the Viper even if not this gen. As long as Ralph is the head of SRT I'm sure the Viper will alway offer a manual. I hope they don't go the way of Porsche GT3 with the...
Ralph said in that video that in the life cycle of "this" car there will be some type of automated tranny in the car. That means to me that the Gen 5 WILL see some form of automated tranny. Seeing that Ralph is car guy through and through and the Gen 5 is his baby, I'm sure it will be a DCT...
Lol. Man you are way too emotional over this. Your first response to me was defending your purchase then calling the viper slow. Then you had another emotional sarcastic outburst about you should sell the car because it lost etc. Relax and approach my post minus the emotional tirades. I'm...
Oh brother. If the Viper beat the SLS though you wouldn't be saying its a bad comparo. :rolleyes: It doesn't matter what Randy did time wise on another day in the SRT. Different days bring different variables that affect performance of any car. This was a head to head on the same day. So the...
The only one embarrassing themselves is SRT's marketing dept and some of the elitists that have their head in the sand. I'm not in the least bit worried about your opinion of me or others who haven't driven the car. We don't need to drive one to know it keeps getting beat on track in head to...
It doesn't matter if Lieberman is a fat, a sissy who can't drive a manual or drives a WRX. The bottom line is the Viper lost badly again with one of the best racers behind the wheel NOT Lieberman. I don't like him much either and they should just let Randy do the whole commentary and test by...
Hmmmm. With all that stuff removed etc its still pretty heavy at 3340lbs. I'd love to see what an SRT Viper with TP brakes and motions would do vs a TA. The SRT Vipers can come in under 3300lbs from what I've read.
Thanks Malu:2tu: Id love to see Codys launch edition on rims. Just to be clear guys this is not my car. Its posted on 6speed website. Its a "well known Viper guy named Ben"...Ben Traynor?????
20F - 21R....I know its not everyones favorite wheel sizing but not bad at all. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3744/9127548908_0c18027734_h.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3809/9127537986_279f5e64f7_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2849/9125316427_0ae675393a_h.jpg...
Yeah could be something logistical or corporate as opposed to federal? I'm sure many of us would love to know the reason for the limitation at SRT while other mfgs don't seem to suffer from this limitation.
I agree. What is the point of being in a race that the sanctioning organizations rules don't allow you to competitive in, much less have even a remote chance to win? It doesnt just seem like a waste of money but also a huge hit to your brand. Id much prefer SRT not to race in the 24 Hours of...
I agree. Even if they don't use the GTS-R body for the ACR they could just add 1.5-2 inches to the front/rear body work respectively, adjust the offset of the wheels to compensate for the added width and bam instant GTSR-esque looks while still coming in under SRT seemingly mythical 80" taboo...
Congrats. Will be nice to hear your thoughts after a few thousand miles in her. Its very good to hear that most owners find the interior world class and comfortable. SRT got that part down pat. Now to see what trickles down from the GTSR to the street cars performance-wise in the near future.
