    Published Coupe 1/4 miles? MT run 11.5@127mph w/ the C6 Z06.

    NEWSFLASH: the october 2005 issue of car & driver is reporting that the new C6 Z06 runs the 0-150 mph sprint in 17 seconds!!! not the 18 seconds as reported earlier in this thread. a 0-150 mph run gives a better representation of a cars acceleration potential than 0-60 or 0-100 or even a 1/4...

    Published Coupe 1/4 miles? MT run 11.5@127mph w/ the C6 Z06.

    i did say that these cars were run on different tracks and i did say that if you give the viper a 1/2 to 1 second head start the vette still wins. yes the vette has more agressive gearing in the rear end and in the tranny ratios. so give the viper the same gearing and 300 lbs less weight and it...

    Published Coupe 1/4 miles? MT run 11.5@127mph w/ the C6 Z06.

    Exhaust Fume Incursion into Passenger Compartment

    yes, i have this problem but it only presents itself when my windows are open. when my widows are closed this never happens. therefore i come to the conclusion that the exhaust is not coming thru the rear of the car but the side windows when they are cracked or down. oh yea, one more thing my...

    What spring rates do you run with Motons?

    i think that the greater the spring rate between the front and the rear of car the more tendency the car has to push, IE: acr suspension. the stock viper suspension would have more of a tendency to be loose as a result of a softer spring rate in the rear. somebody correct be if i am wrong. but...

    SVS 2000 HP VIPER TWIN TURBO ROCKET SLED !!!

    2 speed powerglide has a 1:1 ratio second gear. so with the 3.07 rear gear and a 26 inch tall tire this car will only do 145 mph at 6,000 rpm's. SVS must be running a 28 inch tall tire and like a 2.89 rear gear? if they spin it up to 6,500 rpm's i think they can do like 180 mph with that...

    Come on in... The water is nice.....

    30 years from now when you go to barret jackson the vipers that will bring the most money will be the 100 GTSR's that were made in 1998. next will be the final edition acr's built in 2002. in my opinion these vipers will retain the highest value of all the gen-1 and gen-2 vipers.

    Re: How many 00\' Red/Silver GTS ACR 218 ACR's were built in the year 2000. of those only 25 were built in the color of red with silver stripes. this is one of my favorite color schemes on a viper. oh yea in 1998 > 11 gts coupes were built in this color scheme as well. :2tu:

    Does the Viper have to have a V10?

    the original testing for the protoype viper engine was done with a 360 V8. they quickly realized that they didn't have enough power so they bored and stroked the 360 to a 390 and added two more cylinders thus creating the 488 cubic inch V-10. the 1st two V-10 engines were iron blocks with iron...

    Ford GT vs SRT 10

    here is a dyno sheet of a bone stock ford GT with just 835 miles on the odometer. as you can see it put down 515 rwhp and 483 rwtq on the dynojet chassis dyno. since the car has the engine in the back it is only losing about 12% of its power to the ground. this means its making about 575...
