For every 100lbs it usually equals about a 10th of a second in the 1/4 mile. Torque doesnt have as much to do with the acceleration once the car is half way down the track as horsepower does.
So with the weight disadvantage figure the Viper loses 3 tenths in the 1/4 mile. The Viper, with...
Massillon? I just moved from there last year! Im about 20 minutes from there now.
If your gonna be out and about this weekend..(which I hear might be sunny) shoot me a PM, Im taking my RT down to Massillon to store it in my Dads garage for the winter.
BTW.. Congratulations :2tu:
There's a guy here in Akron Ohio who has a Carrera GT. They even had an article in the paper about him a few weeks ago talking about his car. They said the local dealer (Cascade auto) didnt beleive him when he said he wanted to order one the day he came in to pick up his new 911 Turbo.
I've...
Thanks for the praise brothers!
It was my pleasure putting my buddy in his place because it was a long time in coming. Comments for months before he even got the car like "are you going to be mad when my Z06 blows the doors off your Viper" "I hope your not to mad when I beat you"...
He drives it like he stole it and it did have almost 600 miles on it.
He had alot of excuses...
For example:
I used to race a supergas car so he blamed my "faster reaction times" because I used to drag race
He hasnt broke his car in yet...
He's not used to it yet and doesnt know how best to...
Here it is... as blunt as I can make it..
A good freind of mine bought a new Z06, took delivery of it last week. Its a great looking car in red.
He's been talking trash about how it "eats Vipers" since he ordered it.
I have a 99 RT/10 with some K&N's and a Randomtech exhaust.
He has his...
Re: It\'s already started....the TRASH TALK!
People always want to race you when you have a Viper.
They have nothing to lose. If (when) they lose, they can say, "well, it was a Viper" they lost too. But if they win, they will brag for life!
Its all crap.
when you have two 500hp vehicles being tested, you first have to test them side by side under the same conditions. Second, I still beleive the Viper demands a little more driving skill to get good numbers in the 1/4. It has so much more torque at such a lower RPM then the...

Paying more for a car that was owned by a celebrity is like saying that person is better than you.
Unless of course its anything owned by Gable, Hitler, Stalin, a former President or Elvis.
The pre 2000 engines had Forged Pistons and a better cam. The 2000 has ABS, the 97 does not. Plus the 2000 has 18 inch wheels, not that you couldnt change them on the 97. I assume money is no object here?
Gumball Rally by far..
It had raul julia in it as "Bertollini" who drove the Ferrari, Gary Busey.
"You know how often my wife tried to get me to get rid of this car? Well that's German machinery for you. The car outlasted her."
Re: New info on the \'06 Coupe
I want a Black one. Hopefully pricing is in line with the Convertible. Im sure dealers will be asking over sticker in the beginning though :(
I know a set of new SRT (copperhead) wheels run about $2900 from JohnB at parts rack. Those are 19's in the back and weight alot less too. Im sure if they are mint you could get 2K or somewhere around there for them without tires.
I just put them on my 99 Rt this weekend. HUGE difference over stock as far as squeaks go. Im breaking them in now so I dont know how much better it will stop yet. I also replaced my rotors too.
