    Automatic Viper?

    I am going automatic. I am tired of breaking stuff. So far in the past year I have gone through 3 transmissions, 2 rear ends, and a set of axles. Not sure what kind of auto yet, but probably a turbo 400.

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

    What exactly did you guys expect. The Viper weighs more and has less power. When I first pointed this out, I was told, yes but, the Vette has a supercharger and the Viper is NA. I always figured the Viper needs to be a statement car and should come out with 700 HP and blow everything else...

    VOI Drag and Autocross standings.

    The track was horrible. I squeezed out a 10 and was spinning in every gear. I have run 9's at that track no problem, and the prep just wasn't there. I was running with my boost controller off and just hitting the wastegates, and wasn't even that concerned because having more power wsn't going...

    First Gen V crash was a GTS-R

    I don't know why they would have to pull out of the race. Don't they have multiple cars?

    Unfortuante that the Gen V will be so pricey

    I can say I drove the Gen V and it was very interesting. It handled very well It was very comfortable. Not much power - I mean anything under 1000HP is kind of slow. But honestly it was very torquey. When i got on the gas it was instant power. We went through a slalom course and this is...

    ZMax at VOI ... First timer

    I was there on Friday and I made about 4 passes. My boost controller wasn't even on and I was spinning like crazy in every gear. I basically ran a 10.9 and then gave up. I was staring at the wall too many times for comfort. I think my best 60' time was around 2.0. Normally I am in the 1.3 -...

    Took my car to the Drag strip

    Your MPH is pretty low. Usually when I run 10's my MPH is aroun 168. When I run 9's with a faster 60' time I run about 148-150. That is on the same boost levels. All I do is bring down the 60' times.

    Paying Cash, Financing, or Can't Afford It

    I wouldn't pay cash for it, I would finance it if I was going to get one. interest rates are so low right now, there are much better investments then paying cash for a car. Personally I won't get a Gen 5 right off the bat. I will let someone else get on and maybe 2-4 years down the road buy...

    question for enclosed trailer owners

    Think I could pull a 28' enclosed trailer initially with a Lincoln navigator and probably ultimately with an Ecoboost?

    I wouldn't trade my viper for a 10 second anything either. Why would you want to go that slow anyway?
