    Car&Driver:ZR1 beats the Viper...again

    Did I read the Laguna Seca article right? They had to back off the gas to keep the noise down? I know nothing of the track, but how many of the these meters are in place at the track? I will assume a side exhaust doesn't help one bit. I'm not making excuses, Its just that little tidbit just...

    Car&Driver:ZR1 beats the Viper...again

    There was a thread a while ago about what retro cars would you like to see produced. I didn't have a specific car but more of an old school way of ordering. Some on here aren't after all the luxuries that this car offers, it would be nice to order one stripped of everything people don't want...

    Car&Driver:ZR1 beats the Viper...again

    I agree that's when the supercharger really starts to shine. I would be interested in the performance past that and see if the torque of the Viper can fight the wind drag better or if the ZR1 keeps pulling away. The 1/4 mile seems to point to the Vette, it's a tenth slower but 2mph faster. Has...

    Window sticker for '96 GTS

    One for a B&W 96 GTS would be great. How much do you think it would take to be worth the time and effort? I'm just curious.

    Bitten for the first time

    That's just a nibble, but now it may have developed the taste for blood. At least if it was a green Viper you could have claimed the blood was just a Christmas theme.

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I have to admit, even though this test didnt go as planned, I think SRT did what they set out to do with this car. The extreme pefomance numbers all of us were hoping for I dont think are quite as important to the new clients that they are hoping to win over. Its a nice looking car, went back...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    While I kind of expected the results, the response was not expected. The ZR1 is a top notch performer, well sought out and fast as hell. If anyone thought this was going to be an easy win, they're nuts. Maybe this generation is easier to drive, but I guarantee it still isnt easy to drive...

    I'm in for a window sticker also if anybody figures out how to come up one.

    Used Viper prices...

    Honestly, if maintained correctly, these cars will go a long way. I know 50,000 mile cars are considered to be high mileage, but that car still has a lot of life left. If you must have a low mileage car and want to pay the premium for it there are a lot of them out there. But if you want to...

    Best Tires/Techniques to Avoid Crashing ?

    No matter what type of vehicle it is I always have had a rule that a tire only has 100% of it traction when given inputs. If I am using 50% to accelerate, I only have 50% left for braking and turning, if I am using 90% to turn, that leaves little on the table for braking or a accelerating...

    what do twinkies and a gen v have in common?

    To bring enjoyment and last for a hundred years, I agree.

    Used market flood

    I honestly think the Gen 3 and 4 are going to be the ones that will be for sale. It's usually a higher tax bracket buyer that owns the newer ones, which in my opinion are going to be the buyers of the Gen V. The earlier Generation owners are either a lower tax bracket buyer(me), or are in love...

    Pic's of my new 97 RT/10

    Beautiful car. If I could find one of these and the SRT 10 Rams in B&W to compliment my 96, I would be a happy camper.

    This is how the Viper will be towed to the track next season...

    I was going to comment on what Frank said. Crossing states can get complex, interstate vs. intrastate in confusing enough. It may not fall into CDL or Class A territory in your state, but I would look into crossing state lines. Does it have air brakes or a better question would be do you need...

    Hurricane Sandy

    We already sent crews from our company and I have a feeling there will be more once they see what the total damage is after the storm is done. It sounds like its going to be a wild storm, best of luck to those in its path.

    Stupid question about checking oil.

    Viper Alley to me is a read only forum. Technical questions will never be asked there.

    Getting a GTS to Gen IV Power

    Dan, it wasn't taken out of context but did feel it at least included me as to where it was directed. What was misunderstand in the meaning, is that I wanted the looks of the Gen2 body not intake. I have been playing with motors enough to know that area under the curve means more to my driving...

    Stupid question about checking oil.

    That hurts, I haven't torn a pair of pants or anything yet. And my physique will never fall under the " body builder type", but I may still get a chance to race a Vette, but I am not stopping to talk afterwards.

    Stupid question about checking oil.

    Not to defend myself, but to explain where the thought process came from. My engine building experience came from 2 strokes, one of the motors we were found of had a screw in cap to check trans fluid. You checked the level by inserting up to the threads but not past. So as much as this seemed...

    Stupid question about checking oil.

    I opened myself to critism on this one. I figured I would get beat up, but it's better to be safe. The dip stick seemed to have a a distinct stopping point prior to completely seated. Continue the beating, but I had to ask. Thanks for the serious responses also.

    Stupid question about checking oil.

    This may fall under stupidest question of the day, but do you push the dip stick all the way when checking oil. Before I take a beating front the more knowledgable on here, mine has a bad oil pan gasket and has been leaking for a month. I have not added any oil to it and it still shows it at...

    Getting a GTS to Gen IV Power

    I don't remember exactly where I asked about Horsepower, and really don't care about the final numbers, which is why I asked how the compared not what kind of Dyno numbers I can expect. I would really like to have the power of a Gen 4, I just happen to like the looks of the Gen 2. In the end I...
