    Chevy ups the Ante.

    Agreed. Looks like some of my sources were in the ball park. The new Z07 and ZR1 will be great machines. I jus hope Gov. Motors doesn't whore the damn exclusivity out again. I see a Washing Machine in the Gen V's future!!! :headbang:

    Pre-production yellow Viper with pics of display screen options

    Thought the same thing. A nice white faced mechanical gauge would be nice and simple too!

    2014 Corvette

    Brembo's on the standard C7 and the CC's will be on the next ZO6 (ZO7) The L88 ref. wasn't mentioned during the conversation Mak, but anything is possible. I'm told the "Big Motor Cars" will not be out for two years, because GM does not want to undercut the Market for the C7. They wanna sell...

    2014 Corvette

    Had some Vette Buddies that was at the unveiling last night..they said this car is completely BADA$$ looking in person. Super light weight components through out. "The car should really move" was the words that was used. Some other info. I'm getting from other GM connections is the ZO6 will...

    ZR1 vs Gen V Burnout Test

    This test is absolutely the dumbest automotive test conceived. What's next, the ZR1 VS. Gen V Viper WAX Test?!:lmao:

    Hmmmm, words from Ralph

    Fixed it some TQ!!!! :D TQ!!!!!!! You know I'm all about the WASHING MACHINE!!!! There's a reason why we stick with the Blower in TF?..IT WORKS! We tried jerking the Blower and running Nitrous on an injected setup on Nitro...couldn't get the damn thing to work. My Dad's buddy Chase Knight...

    Hmmmm, words from Ralph

    Plum, didn't I say this in another post!!! I must have a crystal ball!!! LOL. The X Brace and the Hood design will be easy to work w/a Roots type SC. It's perfect for a good washing machine!!! Drop that compression, strengthen the chassis in other areas and PUT IT ON!!!! YES!!!! :headbang:

    Optimism, Pessimism and Trolls

    I think this right here has a lot more to do w/the situation at hand then we know. The Motor Heads and R & D people from Dodge/Chrysler etc. know how to build a heck of a car. They've done it in the past. I'm really starting to think that Ferrari / Fiat etc. really put the clamps down on this...

    Car and Driver: Gen V Viper beats ZR1

    To answer your question ref. the price range and HP and weight combo. I would say no, you're 100% correct. I'm sure the Gov. really puts the clamps down on these cars so to speak. No matter Ford, Chevy, Dodge etc. If the gloves were off, I bet any three could really put out some amazing...

    Car and Driver: Gen V Viper beats ZR1

    The "sniff" Test I understand ref. Gov. restrictions and there's no way of getting around it, unfortunately. I keep saying the car is to heavy, because it is. Doesn't matter if it's the same weight roughly as the ZR1. The concept of racing in my experience is to have 10LBS of $hit in a 1LB bag...

    Car and Driver: Gen V Viper beats ZR1

    Agreed. I'd rather see a low volume BADA$$ Viper, there's exclusivity in the name. That's the problem I see w/the ZO6 & ZR1, great cars but GM whored out the brand w/tons of volume. Kills the exclusivity. I was aware of the Gov. mandate for TC. But it's been played out to much hence, launch...

    Car and Driver: Gen V Viper beats ZR1

    I mentioned the word "Tarnished" in the sense that 50+ speakers, electronic lights and whistle's, hydraulic motor mounts, steel frame, plush interior etc. IMO the rawness of the Viper was form and function. Big ci V-10. Power to weight etc. Which previous Vipers were. A rawness so to speak...

    Car and Driver: Gen V Viper beats ZR1

    The Gen. V Viper should have been : Engine and Drivetrain : 522 ci V10 Forged Rotating Assembly Aggressive Cam intake and exhaust. Flywheel - heavy for TQ down low. Jesel Rocker system. Titanium Sodium Filled Valves. Compression 11.5.1 ( Still be tuned for pump gas) ECU - programmable Intake...

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

    This Gen V platform should have come out and raised the bar....period. This Viper, as previous ones have, should have been the "measuring stick" so to speak. We should not have to be discussing after market headers, cam, supercharger, TT etc. to keep up w/older platforms....period. Take...

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

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

    I think we kinda got off track. The subj is the new Viper getting it's a$$ handed to it by the older ZR1. Plus the "Fear Factor" associated w/driving a Viper!!!! Which is a joke! IMO, the NEW Gen V Viper should be able to put the ZR1 on the Road Race Trailer and beat it at the Drag Strip...

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

    Ralph Gilles ‏@RalphGilles @Rynomite21 @mt_loverman we've tested both cars at several tracks and never seen a gap like that. Many drivers needlessly fear the Viper Really? LOL...Yeah, ok. Let's just cut to the chase. You've had roughly two years of R&D time to put a platform out there that...

    18 speaker stereo?

    ACR-X wheel sizes don't make sense???

    Hmmm, Could be a typo. Don't know Ron, seems everybody thinks a tall wheel is the best these days...NOT! :D

    Installed MOPAR PCM and all I can say is WOW!!

    Mopar PCM 3.55 Gear Full Belanger exhaust B/M shifter in my 08 ACR. Thanks Mark. Would not get the Belangers w/o the PCM. They really work well together. :drive:

    Have an 08 ACR w/Belangers and 3.55 and B&M shifter...it's a nice combo.:)

    Mopar PCM's shipping!

    So with this PCM we can bump the compression w/in reason and have a cam change?
