Oh, is the Top Gear review out already? I'll wait for the actual track numbers before I give Clarkson's BS any comment, but where can I find the printed version?- fluffy

SRT on BBC Top Gear
Let's assume you are correct; in fact let's assume that the C6 gets 20% worse gas mileage than the NSX, that would mean 14mpg city, 19mpg highway: That would still mean that the larger displacement LS2 is more efficient, since it makes 40% more power for only 20% more fuel. But in the end it...- fluffy

The problem with your entire post is that hp/L is completely irrelevant. It simply does not matter. The LS1, LS2 and LS6 are smaller, lighter, get better gas mileage and make more power than the NSX's v6, the BMW I6 etc. The C6 makes an incredible amount of power for its size, setting a standard...- fluffy

Wrong. The Z06 has generated >1.0g in several tests. The base C6 Corvette does 0.95g compared to, as far as I can find, 0.94 for the Evo. Wrong. I owned a Pontiac Trans Am for God's sake (far heavier than the 'vette, same engine), drove the [******] out of it and still made 23-24mpg overall...- fluffy

Fortunately the LS2 in the corvette is an extremely light, compact engine, as are all the Chevy OHV V8s. The LS6 for example weighs 355 lbs bare (497lbs fully dressed), which is only about 70lbs more than the 2.0 liter F20C in the s2000, and 35 lbs less than the I6 in the BMW M3. And considering...- fluffy

The car the Stig drove may or may not have had the Z51 package, but the car in the first segment certainly did. It had the cross-drilled rotors which only come with the Z51.- fluffy

My photoshop of new Viper coupe
Pretty good... not very Viper-like though. Great front clip, but the profile's a bit off. That side vent needs to be much more aggressive. Keep working on it...- fluffy

NEED ADVICE ON NEW SRT10 BREAK IN
I've heard that from a number of people and it may well be true. But when I scroll to the bottom of his site and see his "secret" that smaller intake ports make more power... it makes me skeptical of anything he recommends, to say the least.- fluffy

NEED ADVICE ON NEW SRT10 BREAK IN
I don't know about the rest, but your first oil change should come after about 100 miles or so. During new engine break in a large amount (well, relatively speaking) of metal will accumulate in the oil and these shavings need to be flushed. Changes at 500 and 1000 are recommended as well before...- fluffy

Put a modded GTS in it's place last night.
Re: Put a modded GTS in it\'s place last night. Good kill. At Viper prices $10,000 doesn't mean much, and who knows? It may have been a Hennesseyy "special". But I'm sure he enjoyed the SRT's ass... it truly is a beautiful car.- fluffy

Viper vs LS1's, etc, WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE
Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE Completely ridiculous. If those were truly their results than I question not only their ability to set up a fair test, but their driving skills, journalistic integrity and intelligence as well.- fluffy

top gear?
That's the problem: Vipers aren't drag racers, they are set up first and foremost as track machines. If Top Gear were to take an honest look at a Viper or Z06 they would see that they are very competitive on their little track. They test Audi A6s, they test Mazda RX8s, they test the piggish...- fluffy

Viper vs LS1's, etc, WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE
Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE They actually handle very well. If you take a look at the SCCA solo II national results for the past several years you will see that the stock f-bodies are near the head of the pack every year. It is a myth that f-bodies can't handle.- fluffy

Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE As an example of what Skip is talking about, a quick trip to LS1.com revealed a number of F-bodies in the mid-low 11s.

Viper vs LS1's, etc, WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE
Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE Nothing could be further from the truth. An inexpensive head/cam package will easily put a Camaro deep into the 11s, and a vette into the low 11s/high 10s. There are also many, many bolt-on f-bodies without any head work at all running in the...- fluffy

Well, here's another 2¢: There is no economic exploitation. The economic exploitation was by the french and russians who exploited the iraqi people to line their own pockets with oil money.

Who read the Car/Driver acticle on pushrod engines?
It does... marketing. Hp/l seems to be a number that a lot of people think is important, even though they can't explain why. I'm not surprised that Ford would quote it. That isn't arbitrary, it's important to know. You need to make a certain amount of horsepower with as little weight as...- fluffy

But direct comparisons of what? The problem with hp/l is that it's an arbitrary ratio with no real-world implications at all. All you have said is that it is an indicator of the technology in an engine... well I'm going to have to disagree. Technology can be manifested in different ways. All...- fluffy
