    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Unfortunately, nothing can be changed overnight, even something as simple as tires. Think of it this way, the tire issue is like a family arranged marriage that you had no choice in. You were made to marry an interesting Italian girl and 3 months into the marriage you find out she's just not...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Based on units sold per year, percentage-wise I'm betting that the Gen 5 will be the least tracked Viper when compared to the Gen 2, 3 and 4. I just don't see a future where a lot of people are going to beat on a $140k plus car the way they did in earlier generation Vipers. Now if the Gen 5 is...

    Spark Plug Heat Shields

    In the above engine photo of the GTS-R, does it look like they are using a red RTV silicone where the header flanges meet the heads? :dunno: Just curious, not sure if I've ever seen this done on a race engine. Cheers, George

    Who has increased oil pressure for track use?

    Usually higher pressure means less volume......I'd definately check with some of the professional engine builders on this forum before I'd go too high on the pressure. I can't think of any bearing in a modern motor that needs more than 50 psi, even at max power.....but a lot of engines have...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Those earlier Z06's had some of the worst factory tires money could buy for track use. If you put sport cups on any high performance vehicle that had standard or run flat high performance "street" tires it will totally change the handling of the car. Also the first couple of years that the C6...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Jesus Makara.....I am so tired of people like you coming on to forums like this and trying to use common sense! You need to pour yourself a glass a Viper flavored Kool-Aid and get with the program :smirk: Seriously, I don't know how you could make your post any clearer regarding the ZR1 vs...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Well, since the ZR1 with the same tires as the Gen 4 ACR was able to beat the ACR's lap record at Laguna Seca with no crazy wing and aero package....I'd have to agree. I'm not sure people understand just how fast that is around Laguna Seca in a car your grandma could drive to her nail...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Who cares about the ZR1 vs Gen 5 issue??....all that should matter right now is more air time of Jessi Lang, the hot girl in the video. She reminds me of Kelly Bundy from the "Married...with Children" TV show but hotter and digs cars!! Whatever she's selling, I'm buying :2tu: Thanks for...

    Viper Hauler Unit

    Fantastic setup, enjoy!! Enclosed is the only way to go when hauling a Viper, plus your trailer becomes party central if shade or warmth is needed at the track :2tu: Have fun, George

    Refreshed 2015 Viper?

    You mention SUV's and I've always wondered why Chrysler doesn't come out with a full size 3/4 ton SUV, the size of a Suburban but offer the Cummins diesel as an option. I know a lot of people settle for a 4 door 3/4 ton or bigger pickup when really they would prefer an SUV since it can be a...

    A Day At Road Atlanta

    Great video. Great car!! Only problem with being Treesnake is he is constantly getting sued by all the other drivers for medical injuries suffered to their shoulders and elbows with all the constant point-bys because he is passing them lap after lap :lmao: Can't wait to see more of this...

    New 3D Render I Did

    I think an all white or all black Gen 5 with no stripes will be the most epical of all the new Vipers coming out. Great job on the rendering. Cheers, George

    ACR-X Brakes

    Ok, I was concerned if using one of the pressure style power bleeders might damage something within the anti lock brake system if you don't have the right kind of scanner to open or close the correct valves like some vehicles require. Cheers, George

    down to New Orleans to see a new tire ... the G-Force Rival

    Luke, That was a fantastic write up, NOLA is a cool track. I've been running Nitto NT05's on my track mustang and was going to try the Nitto NT01's. Any opinion how these new BFG's would stack up against the two different Nittos? I've been running the 255/40R17's and was going to go up...

    ACR-X Brakes

    This has been a great thread, very imformative. For the Gen 4 Viper, is there a preferred method for bleeding the brakes?...maybe what's the best way in a well equipped shop vs out at the track? Cheers, George

    2014 Corvette

    I have an equation for what makes a car look great to me. It is too hard to judge if a car "looks" right in pictures or a video. You have to see it in person. Both the new Viper and Vette look pretty damn good. Who knows if the front end of the Viper or the rear of the Vette really works until...

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    The black car with the OZ wheels appears to be using Blizzak winter tires....am I seeing that correctly :dunno: You don't get to see too many Vipers with snow tires on them :2tu: Cheers, George

    ACR-X Brakes

    Apparently SRT needs to hire ViperX as a brake consultant for the new Gen 5, at least when running at Laguna Seca!.....lol Thanks for the info on the pad upgrade. Cheers, George

    2014 Corvette

    The best thing SRT can do is hold the car back to make sure it is as perfect as it can be. There is no shame in admitting that there are challenges and honestly, as a potential buyer of a new model I would want to know what the engineers were up against, how they fixed the issue, tricks they...

    The Birth Of A Viper...

    Going to be hard to beat either a lowered all black or all white Gen 5.....will look fresh even 20 years from now. Cheers, George

    Rear wheel breaks off!!!

    Can you please clarify the toe link part? Do you have a Gen 2 or or Gen 3/4? I've not heard of a toe link support....probably not a bad thing to have, especially with stickier tires. Thanks in advance, George

    WOW 1st Corvette sells for MUCH more than 1st Gen 5 Viper!

    Damn, that new Vette looks even better than the earlier photos showed....even the rear end. I wonder if BJ takes a commission on charity vehicles? George
