The QuadcabAuto i call the SRT-10 RAM.
The RegCabT56 i call the Viper Truck.:)
Good choice Steve. I cant wait to check it out. Maybe this will be the first of your cars that you let me drive??? please please please:D
Hilarious!!!!:rolaugh:, and the whole "fishing" for an informative response was just down right clever:2tu:
Thank you for the info GTS-R 001, and thank you for offering these with varying spring rate options (this was my idea from KNG SNKE's coilover thread a bit back)...
When you upsize rims you go with a lower profile tire. The goal is to get to the same(or close to) overall diameter as stock. In the case of 20"ers im pretty sure the tire does end up alittle bigger.(but not by an inch)
Also, one of the biggest pluses of coil-over shocks is that they have a...
Re: 08 ACR Viper still King of *normal* production cars for Lightning Lap in Car & Dr
I'm looking forward to seeing what the Gen5 can do once SRT releases the ACR version with the appropriate downforce required to start re-breaking the production car track records that it Still holds on so many...
Yes, that is what i remember seeing as well.
Also, It is a 2.5" IN and a 2.25" OUT. This achieved with a pipe inside of a pipe inside of a pipe which presents some restriction and enables the muffler to take out more sound.
If you are sticking with stock headers and 2.5" cats then i...
Have a seat in one and see for yourself. I personally think that the Gen2 seats are very comfy. Actually too cushiony for me so i am switching the drivers seat out for something a bit more fitted to me and performance oriented.
I love long drives in the GTS. Man... just the sight of that curvey...
Why is it that the ACR's 1.33X stood untill now?
Is the latest ZR1 faster than the previous ones that failed at running around the track as fast as the ACR?
The ZR1's time of 7:19.63 at the RING is still under the 911-GT2, the LF-A, and the Viper's record of 7:12:13....
The R8 is a great touring sportscar but has nothing to do with this convo IMO.
There are a lot of R8 owners that are perfectly content with what they purchased and could care less if something more powerfull pulled up to them at a stoplight trying to prove something.
The power hungry redneck...
I get 2 years out of a set with ~5,000 miles per year and a couple autoX's & trackdays.
If i did no performance events i'd expect 3-4.
So maybe 15-20K miles since that is what you are asking.
Even if they still have tread i'd personally replace after a max of 5 years as the tire compound...
Yes you are wrong.(currently)
Back-in-the-day you were right.
Back then it was simple to make a Gen1 Viper with a 400hp V10 that bested the 300hp C4 Vette.
Back then it was simple to make a Gen2 Viper with a 450hp V10 that bested the 350hp C5 Vette.
Now we are nearing the limit of...
In THIS comparison the Viper Won in the 0-60, 0-100, & 1/4.
I'll also add that it won in fuel mileage, and looks/styling. lol ;)
Did you even read the article / look at the numbers, or did you simply put all of your faith in the TROLL's title of the thread ?
ridiculous...
Based on the Title of your thread im still thinking that you are a troll. The Viper Won in the 0-60, 0-100, & 1/4. This is all stuff that is routinely done on the street. 0-150 not so much(although feasible for some) lol
Those saying that power won the 0-150 i think might be wrong. Could it...
Stay away from invos for the track(roadcourse). They have a soft sidewall that rolls over. NT05 is the offering from Nitto that you will want to consider next to the others.
Surprised no one has talked about tires. Are we talking about street tires or R-comps?
The stickier the tire the more camber required.
On my GTS running NT05 street tires. Im running 1.7-2.2 front and 1.0 rear for performance events as well as the street. I have my shims set up in the front...
any real sportscar is going to feal "tight" when your 6'4" 270lbs.
Have you considered losing some weight?
otherwise you might be better suited in one of those retro musclecars (mustang/callanger/camaro) that are more designed for our fat ass baby boomers...lol (no offense as i love my...
What color do you have and what color do you want?
The only reason i personally think could justify a swap would be if you got tired of looking at a solid red car and have always wanted some specific color(like a bumblebee for example)
Another option is to give your old girl a new look by...
I think you answered your own question by saying "or so it seems". Your Perception about the situation could be off considering your source is an internet forum. In reality, the average person dropping +100k on a new car may not have the time to fool around on forums like us. :)
Add to that...
I think they are all tacky CRAP and clash with the interior of the Snake.
Throwing a few shiny decorations on your "boring black" interior isnt going to fix anything IMO.
Another option to spruce up your interior is to have an upholstry shop wrap some of parts of your door panels and dash...
