Absolutely correct! The Z06 DID NOT beat the Viper, but rather, the driver of the Z06 beat the driver of the Viper. Bad driver = bad time no matter what you're driving.
My wife is happy to drive her '02 Z06. She drove my GTS once (pre-Heffner), and she didn't like it. "Too loud, hard to shift, smells bad". I guess I'm just lucky.
Buy a '96 of course. Actually, if I was going to buy a GTS today, I'd look for the best 2002 I could lay my hands on. BTW congrats on your "coming over to the dark side". We call that "seeing the light". My wife drives a '02 stock Z06, and it's a fine car, but you will NEVER regret making the...
Skunkwerks or skunkworks refers to a small group of people who, in order to achieve unusual results, work on a project in a way that is outside the usual rules. They normally work on a project in secret with a "black" budget. The skunkworks at Lockheed developed the super secret SR-71...
Gary has transported my '96 GTS several times for upgrades. He is a fanatic about getting things exactly right, and a great guy. But hey, what else would you expect? He is a Viper freak, just look at his own car, a Heffner supercharged beast. If Gary's haulin' your car, you can rest easy...
I was following a piece of farm machinery on a 2 lane county road. It was one of those rigs with HUGE tall tires. I could have passed it, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt like I could just drive under it between the wheels! There was plenty of clearance, but I came to my senses...
The E55 AMG is only one of several cars that are currently available that are seriously FAST. Mercedes has several models that will give you a run for your money. When the SL65 AMG comes out, you better call Heffner for an upgrade. Just think how stupid you'll feel when you get thumped by some...
Re: May 19th 2004 National
As I recall I paid a hefty "gas guzzler" tax on my S-600 and maybe the Viper too. The way I see it, I paid for the "privilege" to drive a fuel inefficient car up front when I bought it. Screw the oil companies. It's over $4.00 a gallon in California. Crazy! :mad:
When I go out in my Viper, I try to park away from the crowd, but still in a clearly visible area. It's also important to park "up stream" of run away shopping carts. At car shows, I rarely leave the car unattended because experience has taught me that the world is full of jealous, low life...
Re: Meguiar\'s NXT Tech Wax is the new king!
I got some of the stuff yesterday and tried it lastnight on my black MB S-600. I thought I'd try it on one of my other cars before I tried it on my GTS. I used my Porter Cable to apply it on a small area on the hood of the MB. The results were...
Re: Cause of Mistress\'s fire finally discovered - warning to all.
When I fill up, I NEVER trust the nozzle to shut off automatically. I just listen to the sound of the gas going into the tank. As the gas starts to come up the filler neck of the tank, the pitch changes. When I hear the pitch...
