    Hoosier R6 versus Michelin Cup heat cycles

    MPSC > R6 Other than the first few heat cycles where the R6 will be faster. The MPSC are close in speed but last longer in heat cycles for DE. Racing heat cycles are a different story.

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    HAHAHA, in amatuer racing only trying to put the viper in SCCA stock type classes vs 400 hp Z06's will get a restrictor on it. Nasa does power to weight ratio only. The Vipers fit just fine. At 6.9 or so (with a average sized driver) weight to power it can run TTU with the Porsches and...

    08 VIPER/ACR in NASA?

    we had two guys here in the southeast that ran NASA, but they were verts and 03-06's, and got barred by their wives for a big crash. Both the 08's would go straight to TTU. Corvettes won like 5 or 6 classes of time trial last year, it would be nice to see a change. And dont most guys that...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    You are only making my point more valid. If you increase boost on a stock turbo system, there are bound to be some other areas that need addressing, most stock BOV's,DV's turbo hoses, wastegates etc are designed for the stock power, so when you go and up the boost, something will start to fail...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    That's exactly why I said efficient power. You refer to your stealth a lot, but that is not a quality hp/tq curve guage. That's 20 something year old technology. And modded at that. Not only that but it depends on what you are using it for. High torque cars are harder to drive on the road...

    "Dead '08 Snake in the Middle of the Road..."

    I agree with Jamie. How can a fuel line produce a gas puddle post combustion? The fuel woud somehow have to get into the exhaust through the exhaust (leak?). I wouldnt just take anyones word for it, I'd have it inspected by a second party as well. Not doubting that there was gas there, just...

    08 Viper vs Vette comparison

    I understand where you are coming from, A dodge sponsored driver couldnt be caught dead beating a Viper in a Vette. But I still think the Viper is faster. If this particular Viper has MPSC and not the PS2's, then I think the gap should have been bigger or it bodes well for the Z06 as the...

    Another ACR - and they never get boring! (pics)

    I'd like to know how many people are buying an ACR for anything OTHER than the track. :confused: :nono: It's not exactly built for taking your wife out to dinner. I can understand a collector here and there, but I cant see why anyone would buy it and not track it. To me that would be...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    I'm a bit confused at some of the comments here. HP is HP (unless it's nos and you have to refill it). Turbos have made their way into all the various forms of major racing and soon turbo will be the only way to go as turbo deisel technology from racing makes it's way into street cars and CAFE...

    Track Question ?

    From what I've heard Pocono isnt too bad on brakes. BUT Also remember that being new, as mentioned before you will likely overuse the brakes, stock fluid (also mentioned) will have a much higher tendency for fade and boil. The low pads also increase heat. So in short, you at LEAST need...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    A 3.8 Twin Turbo 6 cylinder should make 600 hp easily with just an ECU depending on the flow potential of the Turbos. I say 650 or so. But I dont know it it will hold because the motor already seems to have kinks in it. Nissan do not want this car to be modded and for a very good reason (It...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    TC does not make you invincible to spinning out, especially in the rain. Stabilty controls helps a lot, but you can ALWAYS spin a car no matter how many gadgets are on it.

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    Luke also said he questioned if the remote reservoirs on the car were OE. Meaning a trick suspension setup. See where all of this is getting confusing, numerous reports from people there looking at the car. Notice that JH didnt mention anything about the suspension changes, or is Luke now...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    Woah there guys, I beleive I said it was rumor. I also asked for clarification and if some of the engineers post here, which they do and they said differently, so end of story. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I dont trust anything with JH behind it which is the only reason I...

    At 4000 rpm in second before she hooks up?

    Is this a complaint? Most guys complain about not enough wheelspin. If your car is spinning the tires like that in 1rst and second, means it's healthy and strong, time for some better tires.

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    It would be way cool if you see Nissan and Chevy battling to beat the CGT and each other with the Vspec GT-R and ZR-1 and the ACR come out of no where and beat them both, no announcements of traveling over there, no lap rumors (though if they are lapping SOMEONE will see them and it'll be on the...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    There are a lot of guys from the one lap that claim they got the info on the tires from Winkler himself. One thing is for sure, this is a tire that tire rack carries specifically for the Viper, so the truth will come out eventually, no need to continue speculating. He said it's worth about 1.5...

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    It's easier for dodge not to enter the ring war. You cant just send a car and any guy over there for a day and set a time, it takes a couple weeks of setting the car up, giving a driver that's familiar with the ring the time to get used to the car since they dont already have one (unless they...

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    Nissan's test driver drove those cars, they have graphs posted of time vs distance and you can easily see the guy lifting in places that dont need to be in the Z06 and TT. Name is Steve Millen and he's driven the Viper vs Z06 and complained about the scariness of RWD and he wasnt very fast...

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    The ACR is very Niche, people that want it or are looking for something like it will find it, and there arent many of them. Finally I imagine there isnt a huge budget for advertising the car considering the state of the Viper program in general.

    Who's bragging? You make a statement about me not racing, then I respond that I race more than you so now I'm bragging? You my friend, need help. Keep on with the personal attacks, they do nothing for me.

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    I'm not into getting into all of this personal arguements, we can talk specs and stats, which I do have a good deal of knowledge on. But the pathetic personal back and forth posts are a waste of time. And FYI Warfang I do race (well at least as much as what they are doing in the One Lap) and...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    Everyone already knew that, ALL I said is that the gap would have been smaller at some of the tracks if the Porsche didnt have ECU problems, which it doesnt take rocket science to know that if you're going for time and have to shut the car off multiple times you'd have been much faster if you...
