WOW, awesome car!!! Were those blue steel wheels a stock color? They look great.
When you drive old cars like that, you have to have them tuned into the "oldies" station, it's a rule.
OMG ...what an awesome blue color!!!!!!!!!! :headbang:
That's MY hood before the white stripes. Quick, I need to buy some stuff from my '08 ...I can't wait!!! :drive:
Thanks so much for sharing the pics.
I'm actually considering something with a twist ...Black Chrome on the lips, with very bright machined/silver centers (maybe even white) ... the car will be blue with white stripes, so that's why I'm asking about the bluish tint.
I like the idea of the centers being very light/bright, and the...
Anyone have pics of a Viper with Forgeline's version of their Black Chrome wheel color option? I can't tell from their website if their Black Chrome wheels have kind of a bluish tint?
pic with BC center, and Chrome lip:
Question:
If you were going to keep a new '08 in a colder climate (similar to Denver), would you consider using the '03-'06 run-craps? The '08 tires clearly state that they should not be driven in near-freezing road temps, which might rule out 5-6 months of the year, especially in the...
If you lived anywhere south of NJ (i.e. convertible weather), it would be the Viper Vert, hands-down, no discussion. Down here in beautiful TX, you'd have to be weird not to appreciate a Vert -- especially for those awesome hill country drives. :2tu:
Sorry, but the Viper has no cheap leaf spring like a Vette, with just a bolt that can be turned for cheapo suspension tuning ...
You might try lowering your tire pressure to under 20lbs ...that might work.
As a suggestion: Copy your post, and paste it over on a place called the V___Alley...
Not sure about ACRs, but the CAAP pics showed many SSG cars in line with the Orange cars. That may indicate many SSG cars are soon going into dealer inventories.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the SSG color. All you see is the color -- not the car -- it is so 'loud' that it overpowers the...
That Vette, like many ACR Vipers, will likely be more car on the track than most owner/drivers have the skill to fully use. That Vette looks too shiny and unblemished to have been in the hands of a true track rat. My guess is that it spends more time double-parked in front of clubs and giving...
Honestly ...who cares? I mean, if a car runs a quick 1/4 mile due to outstanding awd traction at launch, but finishes a lap or more behind on even a short road course race, what does that prove? really?
Coming out of a turn, the (stock) Viper blows away / pulls away from the GT-R.
And...
I had the lowering caps on an '05. They looked great ... lower, not toooo low (I don't like the slammed look). But for some reason, the rear seemed a lot more bouncier. I always thought I might just lower the front next time (I like a raked look). But I also kept the stock 18/19 tire sizes...
No. Nope. Don't agree.
For comparison -- far more dangerous vehicles are: ATVs, Jet skis and ALL motorcycles.
Motorcyles are a big contributor to keeping hospital ERs busy -- so let's ban 'em. ATV's are even worse -- those gotta go too. Each or these is more dangerous than any Viper.
So do...
...If it's available again for '09 ...may not be
Bets are that White will be back, maybe Yellow also, and some new colors ... Venom Red and some others will probably go ... and probably fewer colors overall ... so place your bet
I think my Bright (Nassau) Blue '08 will be VERY rare :headbang:
K&N filter? Oh, big mod there. 2-pc cross-drilled rotors? The stock 2-pc ACR rotors may be better. Exhaust? Many, if not most cars that run one-lap have upgraded exhausts.
Every time I hear another description of the color, I take another whack at guessing with a photochop ...gotta do something to pass these MANY months of waiting for this color :smirk:
Wet skidpad test? What kind of contrived BS is that? Is that some attempt to level the playing field for otherwise slow AWD entries like the Nissan GTR? Oh yeah, it's Sunday, let me go record the Daytona Wet Skidpad 500 on TV today ... don't wanna miss that.
Tire Rack s__ks -- not the place...
