    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    So there have been more than 1 ten second run. If it is dead wrong please post the specifics. And I stand by 11's are hard to achieve in non coastal regions (read at higher altitudes for the geographically impaired).

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Physics is not an excuse it is a fact. Unless you are a dumbass that is. I stated before that the comparison you discounted was at 900 ft and the times were reasonable. You refused to acknowledge that. Dumbass.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Mid-Michigan and Byron are both central US and located at higher altitudes. The others are all within 100 ft or so of sea level.

    Viper outruns the ZR1

    Ha, and if you have a Gen I or II you have Alliance derived parts on your car!

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Have you noticed all the states you mentioned are on the coast? Something in common there? As for your other statement you are a dumbass. You never inquired as to who did the testing. Just assumed it was some nobody or a mag. Well it was not. I will let you keep guessing but the person was...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Well the statement is false from what has been stated here. There have not been multiple runs under 10 seconds (that is what the plural means when it states 10's ...). If it was stated that one driver, one time, under ideal conditions was able to post a 10.983 then all could agree.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    So does this count also? Same driver, same track, same day. And multiple runs to obtain the best times for each.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Yes, now you know it. The 10 second run was done one time by one person under conditions considered to be ideal at one of the fastest tracks in the world. I would not hold my breath waiting for it to be repeated. Ever. But, if you counted all the posts that it has been referenced you would...

    03 Abs Light - Poss Module Failure?

    If he did not drive it in between it would have a difficult time restting the fault as it needs to see a difference. Hopefully he did not just spins the wheels on the lift as that is a sure way to create a fault. If the sensor cost is of concern just swap left and right sides and see what...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    This was the first question: "Why/how can a stock (engine, tires, everything) Z06 Corvette run a quarter mile in the 10s, and it takes a supercharged Viper to get into the 10s? Why is the Z06 so much quicker in the quarter mile?" Now consider that he is referencing one of the 2 people on one...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    You miss the point. I don't give a rats ass what it does on a fast track with a great driver. I care what it could do here, for me in comparisoin to another car in the same place. What it does on the moon with Martian atmosphere is irrevelent. For comparison say I have 2 500 hp cars that at a...

    03 Abs Light - Poss Module Failure?

    If it says the sensor, and a sensor is only $10 or $20 why not replace it first. Changing out the ABS module when the information points to the much cheaper sensor does not seem to make sense. Note I had the right rear sensor fail myself. You did not mention what the first reading was. Or did...

    Read above a post by MY600HP. He did just that and I have trust in his results.

    Viper outruns the ZR1

    Not so important on a single stop when using ABS. Note also in the Oct 2007 issue C&D had 150 ft for the 2008 Viper SRT coupe. Now 162 ft. But if course they also showed that it lost 35 lbs as well.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Record yes. Comparison to how someone might run in a normal condition no. And for the tires I have seen how tire warmers are used (in addition to burnouts) to compensate for the tire temperature. Most people want to know how the cars perform in real world conditions, not -500 ft altitude...

    Looking To Buy Used ACR's

    Checking prices now means nothing relative to the prices 20 or 30 years in the future. Many of the highest value cars of the 60's and 70's had terrible values in the early 70's. Dealers couldn't give them away. Again, if you are looking for future collectible car values you need to forecast...

    Viper outruns the ZR1

    BTW what was up with the 08 Viper in that test. The braking distance seemed extremely high as previous tests placed the Viper and ZR1 with similar stopping distances. I thought the skid pad would be more similar as well.

    Looking To Buy Used ACR's

    So what are "full on race brakes?" I thought they only added the Stop Tech 2 pc rotors and the rest of the brake system was identical. As for the rest it is only opinion/conjecture. No idea what the long term future holds in terms of collectability and value. You may find a Prius being more...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Jamie that is proof to me that at a ridiculously low temperature at a near sea level track with an excellent driver a Z can just barely crack the 10 second range (by 0.019 second). Any other place it would not. In other words it is not a 10 second car. At a local dragstrip, in summer temps it...

    ?Zero Interest Loans, More Discounts, Monday 1/26?

    The question was specific to SRT8 Challengers. Normal Challengers do indeed get the discount. And Jon the 2006 employee discount was on 2006 convertibles only. A few dealers got away with applying it toward 2008 convertibles as well before a programming error was corrected (I know of only 1...

    Zero discount (i.e. full price)

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Ah, but the entire world is not at near sea level with a track that consistently provides the best times around. Try again. You see real people do live at more moderate altitudes (read damn near all of us). The story My600HP provided sounds like same day, same driver, same track for all three...

    ?Zero Interest Loans, More Discounts, Monday 1/26?

    I think you are learning what employees and employee families have known all along. Employee discounts do not apply to cars in high demand. Not now and not ever. You see the employee purchase program can be excluded at the option of the dealer. Dealers are independent businesses and do not have...
