Re: Thanks McLaren and DC for the new engine !
the goverments evertightening noose on the automobile world is so bad that it killed the ford GT after only a mere 2 years of production! why is that you say? because the cars ultra exotic body style would not meet the 2008 federally mandated crash...
Re: Thanks McLaren and DC for the new engine !
one more thing........the owner of my local ford dealer told me that within the next 2 years that ford is gonna require that all new trucks and cars must be serviced at a ford dealer only to retain the factory warranty. if you even so much as get...
Re: Thanks McLaren and DC for the new engine !
ford has already engineered some traction control management devices into their new trucks and mustang GT that aftermarket tuners know how to defeat but are unwilling to do so for fear of a lawsuit. in some ways the future of aftermarket hot...
Re: Thanks McLaren and DC for the new engine !
this new computer is configured in a way to interface with OBD-3 when it is implemented in the future :evilmad:
unfortunately that is going to be a HUGE problem that the aftermarket tuners, etc will have to deal with as modding this car to...
radical SR8 is wicked. i have been thinking about buying one. the power to weight ratio is 4.13:1
the lack of crash protection though is a BIG concern :confused:
Supposedly, GM is going to limit the Blue Devil to 1500 units per year for a two year run. If that's true, and the car is reasonably well built, prices will astronomical after massive dealer mark-ups. Easily Ford GT prices. The Vette guys will beat their chests about being "King of the Hill"...
OBD-3 can bite me. i will just ride my turbocharged motorcyle around guzzlin leaded race gas and give the finger to the nazis while i am at it. motorcycles don't have any form of OBD whatsoever....... so again i say BITE ME
i guess it really depends on where you live. i live in tucson which has a lil over 800,000 people. i see vipers about once a month. there are less than 10 ford GT's in my city. as far as ferraris go i see one about every 3-4 months. lambos only like once a year. but then i live on the outskirts...
personally i have no desire to drag race my viper as i just use it for road racing only, but....... somebody is gonna need to develop a 4 point roll bar for gen 4 viper coupes because even the standard 2008 viper coupe that has 600 hp is gonna run low 11's in the 1/4 mile. NHRA rules require...
QUOTE "What is your definition of "Road Racing?
There are many Gen 3 coupes that are racing in SCCA T1. Several on the West coast and a few that race in your back yard at PRI.
A 4 pt. rollbar is not sufficient protection if you are wheel to wheel road racing." QUOTE
so these gen 3 cars that...
well i just got the details on the new 675 hp viper option with the wing and the splitter and all of the road racing track mods. it even comes with 6 point restraints. but what i find amazing is that they still don't offer a roll cage or even a 4 point roll bar for this car. with the optional...
675 HP??? is this gonna be standard on all 08' vipers or is this just like an "ACR" option. how did they go about getting the HP increase from the 600 HP stated in the february motor trend magazine.
