    Tire Pressure & Handling

    Car's weight is 50/50, so wondering why you say light in back? On the track, I do typically run the fronts 1lb more than rear, but that suits my driving style. On street, I always just leave at 29 all around. assume you want more rear traction for straights and thus the lower pressure. Not...

    Ok, I guess I don't understand then why are you are posting in this forum then if you have decided no longer interested in a Gen5. The other cars you have listed are very nice, but not sure the criteria as they seem to be all over the map in regards to looks, performance, comfort, price, etc...

    I hear you, but do you think more Vipers should be sold than vettes? I do not. I think if around 1k-2k, that is plenty for their biz purposes. I also suspect if prices were in the 90-110k range, they would be fine. I get your point on an initial pricing issue, I just disagree with the #'s...

    I actually don't think that. I just think they are just not skilled at selling this kind of car. Never have been and why would we expect them to be when their next most expensive vehicle is a top of the line RAM. Having said that, if a consumer interested in the product itself, why let their...

    See, this is where your logic, and ultimately your credibility takes a beating. you quote performance as if it is the only thing that matters. you quote prices from 5 years ago as if they matter. reduce the use of CAPS, be less inflammatory and then constantly use facts for a bit. It is...

    you lose all credibility when you say 70-85k. Heck, for 50k, there would be a line at the door to get them. pick a realistic # to start with.

    I hear you. My local dealer had the car I wanted but would not negotiate. ended up going out of state to get exact same car for the price I wanted all done via email. Great service, etc. I would just leave you with the statement "the car is that good, you will quickly forget what dealer...

    Peter, I think you need to go to a different dealer. Atleast 4 dealers I spoke with this past month all confirmed they were getting help from corporate.

    Keep the C7 Stingray or back to a Viper?

    Isn't this a pretty simple problem to solve: 1) which car looks better to you? 2) which car stirs more emotion for you when you drive it? 3) which car better suits your needs? (daily driver, weekend warrior, track car, car show guys, just like to brag, etc, many purposes exist) 4) price point -...

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    Just so that I make sure we are accurate, earlier in this thread you got folks riled with the following statement: "I never expected to see any USA manufacturer put on something so extreme and functional on a mainstream car (this is even more radical than the Gen 4 ACR)." And now you follow...

    you all have been noticing the uptick in Gen5's being sold and the dealers being more aggressive with discounts this month, correct? Just look at the update of new purchases on the forums. Also note the 2013 avail inventory is down from prior months. It should be very obvious the dealers are...

    oh, so we are comparing a stock car to a modded version of a car that does not exist yet? you guys crack me up. I guess then a person would have to create their own silly hp badges to put on the dash and the motor to state its modded #'s because how embarrassing it would be to post the stock...

    great information. Are the spacers just in the rear or are their any in the front as well?

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    I am still confused. The C7 is heavier and less HP, but the same old story is the Gen5 needs more HP to compete? What is the C7 downforce figures? does anyone know? I really just wanted to get some facts on this because if the Gen5 had less HP (625), weight 200lbs more and had an automatic...

    wasn't it a valid point made above for C7 Z vs G5? C7 is: 1) heavier 2) less HP 3) more tq 4) heat soak potential 5) uglier 6) less quality 7) unknown downforce figures It does seem like some serious kook-aid drinking happening... btw, anybody else think it is pretty teenager like to post...

    So tell me about the seat screws that can be taken out to allow more headroom?

    what year is the important question. My understanding is 13's had spacers that could be removed. I need to look at doing this. 14's shipped with the spacers already removed.

    2014 GTS Carbon TA...

    why would anyone want a track car with a paint finish like that? car makes no sense to me other than a garage queen. having said that, I don't get the matte finishes at all.

    CF Spoiler... YUM

    I personally like painted better and the front looks even better than expected. In the beginning of this thread, someone had a Launch edition with it painted. any better pictures of that in the end product painted front/rear?

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    I think the 911 is a super hi quality car, but when it comes to turning on a track (particularly the Turbo), comparing to the Viper is just not a fair task for it. No need to require the TA, would be fine with the GTS or base SRT. Seriously, it did not handle the new Z28 and you believe it has...

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    SRT8 Jeep over a 911? really? Come on, lets bring some reality back into play. If price not a big deal, the 911 (any model you choose) is so much a better product. Jeep is fun and impressive for what it is, but to put both in the same discussion is a stretch. Somewhat like the S5 in the...

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    Before we all get on the bandwagon of slamming Porsche, couple of facts: 1) amazing hi quality ratings - amazing when considered what designed for (minus the gt3 engine fiasco) 2) genius marketing and recognition of their customers and desires 3) highest % of any make that takes cars the to...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Might want to read some of the latest magazines where a Camaro z28 outperformed the 911 TS on the track. I guess says good things for the Z28, but ... Also, it is an AWD car, correct? I always think silly to look at a 1/4 time when comparing a AWD to rear drive car. End of day, both...

    Drive one and you will buy one!

    Simply put, the car is amazing and a joy to look at and drive. Still in the break-in process, so real feedback with be a month away, but every aspect of the car is even better than expected so far and I had high expectations. I love my Gen3 and clearly positioning of things and suspension are...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    I agree with you. btw, I purchased a Launch Edition to go with my 05 Commemorative Edition (opposite colors). It was a pain, but I did get them to let me drive one and it made a huge difference. Remember, I was only looking for a conv and did not think I would get a coupe. The car is that...
