    R6 vs A6

    If it's hotter than about 85 ambient, A6's will get greasy pretty fast. The rule of thumb for many competitors is if temp is >85 run R6, <85 run A6. If there is cloud cover, you may be able to adjust up 5* and use the a6. A6 are not the two lap wonder people thought they were, but they do have...

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    I don't imagine cost of venues is the problem as they are using tracks like Road Atlanta, Sebring, Daytona in the last year, and those are pretty expensive. Daytona majorly so. Even were going to go to COTA (unfortunately not next year from what I've heard). SRT is likely to focus on pro...

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    I'm smack in the middle of NARRA's current event schedule. Can't complain. However I feel for you guys because they really do put on great events. Keep bombarding them with messages and maybe gather some lists of interested parties. It's just soooooo far to cali, they would almost have to...

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    Heard some good news about events to be added to the schedule. Can't disclose, but it's a great place for NARRA to run.

    Interesting Comment on Autoblog

    Gen V with a dual clutch will be insanely fast. Can't even imagine. Actually, yes I can!

    They don't call them mules for nothing.

    Top Gear (UK) is testing the new Viper

    Agree. Not likely to give much in the form of benchmarks. However they might just pass a track and get the trailer park fat stig to do a quick lap. Cant see them passing that up.

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    I think they tried venturing out west last year and had poor turnout at Inde (az). They would all but eliminate their core group of people. Might be a little too risky for them to pull off right now. A year or two and I bet they have the recognition to step out west. Considering they are...

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    The track is unbelievable. Im here for the race and this is the best racing facility in the country bar none. COTA would be huge if Narra can get it on the schedule.

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    Hoping for COTA in Texas in March so I can drive down to TWS in Feb and leave my car down there for COTA. I'm plannign on TT at CMP, Road Atlanta, VIR, 1 of the TBA's and Monticello. If no COTA, hope it's Barber or Sebring in March and Watkins again in Oct. I think NARRA should partner up...

    Top Gear (UK) is testing the new Viper

    Some of you guys are just looking at numbers and don't know much about how fast the GenIV ACR really is. There is nothing even close to that 7:12 except for kit cars or mega buck euro cars with CF chassis and crazy budgets to sell a few cars (918 etc.). It's 6 seconds back to the nearest...

    Will not be the first again on next gen viper

    I was just about to say that who cares when you get your own (j/k btw), just get in someone else's and set a new record soon.

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    Why would they do that, when they can just leave out the interior on the new ACR, add cage, fire suppression, window net etc. with some slicks and go racing? Just like they did before? It's totally impractical to make a faux GTS-R vs a Gen V ACR-X which will likely already look pretty similar...

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    ^^Exactly^^ A GTS-R is FAR more advanced than a ACR-X. Much faster with significantly less hp = much more money. There will be a Gen V ACR, and if anything, a Gen V ACR-X. But it will be nothing like the GTS-R. It will be an ACR with safety and endurance racing upgrades like the current X...

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    Agree. Unless you are mega millions and racing it in Euro Lemans Series, or GT AM class. And even if you do get one, it will be missing many of the secrets. The GTS-R is not a Porsche Cup Car mass produced spec vehicle for sure.

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    Disagree, GT is a production based class and the frame has to be production (reinforced). Remember this class is based on GT2 not GT1. The dimensions, pickup points etc are per rules to be in line with the production model. There are no tube frames in gt class. The body shape and wheelbase...

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    I posted on their facebook page and was told it would be by PRI for sure, which starts Nov 29th

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    There won't be enough people paying that to make a series out of it. The ACR-X was the best bang for buck race car (per speed) out there by far. They should just assimilate the existing Viper Cup Series into the GT1,GT2,GT3, GTU races. Can still have a Viper Cup but just not in it's own race...

    New 2013 Viper Sales Brochure

    Estimated 0-60 are almost always conservative. When the mags get them it will be faster. Bet on it.

    Gen V Autoweek

    I'm just comparing relative model levels. GT3 and GT2 have slightly different versions of the same drivetrain. We are not talking about top speed. We are talking about the track and handling. The SRT-10 coupe is NOT competitive with the ZR-1. Not only that the ACR has more than just aero, I...

    Nice looking GT500. I really want one of those myself as a DD.

    DMan, what year is your GT500?

    The spoiler: Ferrari wins and Viper last.

    Why would you out the spoiler in the title? Not cool.

    Gen V Autoweek

    Not really IMO. SRT 10 - 911 Turbo, GT3 RS, GT3, Z06, F430 ACR = GT2 RS, ZR-1, Scuderia Having to compare it to a base 911, base GT3, base Corvette with 600 hp and monster tires is a fail in handling. With it's specs, it should be able to be close to or match the ACR's competition and the...

    Vipers at Petit Le Mans

    The Viper will always have the largest restrictor because its the most powerful motor in the field by a good margin. Remember, this isn't a stock Viper V10 they are running. It's capable of humongous power. If this were the old GT1 it would be allowed to run 600 hp and breath more freely...
