    Need a tow truck for my viper: Dodge ram diesel or the ford superduty??

    Re: Need a tow truck for my viper: Dodge ram diesel or the ford superduty I agree with this statement, at any rate. The interior of the Chevy is just terrible... looks and feels the same as it did in the early 90s, and after owning three GMs I simply do not trust their long term quality. The...

    Cruise Control?

    And if you had a HUD you wouldn't have to look down at the speedo. ;)

    GTS or SRT10?

    The SRT is a much better car, the GTS will turn more heads. I strongly suggest that you drive both before making a choice... if driving is in any way a priority, go with the SRT. If performance is a priority the SRT can be a better starting point, depending on how much modification you want to...

    Transaxle Consideration ???

    Most of those cars are mid engined, and they handle well in spite of their rear bias, because of the mass of the engine located near the center of gravity verses at one end or the other. The porsche, as the exception, was a terribly difficult car to drive until just recently due to its rear...

    Transaxle Consideration ???

    The SRT is already weight biased rearward, why would we want to move even more weight back there? Better to have the mass closer to the center of gravity and the distribution closer to 50-50.

    96-97 Porsche turbo how fast???

    I think you're confusing the GT2 with the normal turbo. The GT2 is $180k US, and is quite a bit faster than the GT3 and turbo.

    New paint

    Those are really great pics... the red looks so deep and rich, unlike the other pics of red SRTs I've seen. Very nice looking! :2tu:

    20% better gas mileage in your SRT-10

    Some gas savings makes sense. You're increasing the diameter of your tires, effectively gearing your car slightly taller. In order to increase circumference of your tires by 20% the diameter only needs to be increased by about 1.5 inches, which I suppose is possible with enough extra tire...

    When the next big change for SRT?

    The C6 only dropped 50 lbs or so from the coupe, I seriously doubt that the Z06 will somehow drop an additional 400 - 500 lbs off of that. No way. Maybe 3000lbs.

    When the next big change for SRT?

    Possibly. I take it to mean that they realized that the pavement was stickier in the June heat. If they had tested them both at the same time, why not test them on the same stretch of track? Something we can both agree on is that neck and neck is far too close. The Viper should destroy all...

    When the next big change for SRT?

    No it wasn't. The numbers for the Viper were lifted straight from the high speed shootout in June, down to the 100th second and mph for the quarter. The GT was tested at a completely different time and under different conditions.

    When the next big change for SRT?

    MT apparently tested the 500hp version. The production GT is supposed to be 550 hp as tested by Car and Driver (I think it was them) where it ran an 11.6@128. If the Z06 hits 500 Chevy won't have to overstate anything. Even if the Z06 only has 480 or 490hp it will still be enough to edge out...

    When the next big change for SRT?

    They'd better. If there is nothing for '06, then the SRT will be playing third fiddle to the GT and the Z06. That would be an intolerable situation, especially considering the massive displacement advantage we enjoy.

    Comp Coupe Cut in Half...

    One of the big differences is the fenders... on the pic above notice the aggressively flared front fenders on the CC compared to the almost delicate curve of the SRT. The flares really set the CC apart from virtually every angle and allow it to project a lower, wider and meaner stance.

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    *shrug* I don't think anyone knows for sure, but only another 40 days until we find out. I think it will be higher than that though. I suspect 400-425 and 475-500 for the base/Z06. In fact I hope it's that much... maybe then DC will give us another 75-100 hp.

    Yessa massa I surely will. I'm surprised you didn't accuse me of owning or secretly lusting after a corvette (the horror!).

    2005 SRTs

    Well by "changes" I really meant something like a factory chin splitter, maybe using the front-end design from the comp coupe and maybe tightening up the rear a bit, not an overall body change. I love the sides of the car, the sharp edged gills. I love the headlight treatment, but I don't like...

    2005 SRTs

    Obviously I don't have any inside information, but I think DC will make some cosmetic changes to the SRT. It's obvious that many Viper owners don't like the new body style, but they can't simply redesign on a dime, but I think the changes are coming. I think that there will be both cosmetic and...
