    2013 On the Track

    Sounds like he double clutched, had he hit the rev limiter he would have lost a lot more momentum. What's the whining noise at the 1.17 mark?

    Top Gear Gen V Review

    Love this: "Fantastic. As soon as you slip into the new cabin, every touch point feels crisp, tight, controlled. And it stays that way as you get moving. The clutch is lighter, the gearshift more precise, requiring more wrist than shoulder, and the hydraulic steering is amazingly direct...

    Chrysler prices new Viper near $100,000, below Corvette ZR1

    I think Ralph and co. are taking a risk here with the pricing. You figure the base model with a few of the most desirable options ( track pack, etc.) will raise the price to beyond $110,000 and the GTS well beyond $130,000. Ralph's stated objective is to maintain loyalty with the die hards...

    Road and Track: Gen V Video

    SRT: The all in one color rear, excepting the lower valance, looks good and appears in the pictures to be more attractive than the black plastic that was on the launch edition.

    2013 SRT Viper pricing to be announced MONDAY

    One of the problems for the corvette and its various iterations is the fact that the GS, the Z06 and the ZR1 all look the same. They all have the wide body, the front splitter etc...The Z06 and ZR1 can be made to look the same with carbon splitter and other optional pieces. There just wasn't...

    "Curves are good for the Soul"
