    Downshift to brake?

    Men who use the engine and downshifting gears to slow a car down, ugh. Total poser drivers. They just think it sounds cool, but it lets the rest of us know that you can't drive a manual properly.

    SRT10 Roll Bar

    Not sure on that, I've only done my Gen 3 coupe.

    SRT10 Roll Bar

    Yes, you have to use a sawzall to cut out the factory roll hoop. It can't be re-installed, without welding it back up where you cut it. So, this rollbar becomes permanent (a good thing)

    General question about Gen V features

    We have aftermarket carbon TA style tail panels, spoilers, splitters. Just buy the car for your best deal, that other stuff is easily changed/added.

    General question about Gen V features

    Most of the negative comments about Vipers stemmed from the early Gen 1 and Gen 2 cars. Most of the complaints were addressed back in 2003, but you'll still hear people that don't know anything continue to bring up decade-old issues. Pedals are not offset to the left. That was in 2002 and...

    leaking struts in TA models

    I can't wait to drive a C7Z on the course. I'll likely buy one, because that is the racing I enjoy most. And, I only like American cars. Not sure what "money muscle" is.

    Drag Strip Test - C7 Z06 vs Hellcat vs Viper vs ZR1

    Were you out there racing one of your cars? Results? BTW, the owner of the orange Viper (Dave) called me and was asking for tips on how to drag race the car. He said he was shifting way too early, before 6000 rpm. Hence, the 122 mph trap speeds. These cars like to be shifted at the rpm...

    leaking struts in TA models

    I've had a few recalls in my TA. I'm recalling beating a few C7 Z06 Corvettes.

    Here is one of the videos. Both appeared to have traction issues. http://youtu.be/Vzh4J2C44SM

    Drag Strip Test - C7 Z06 vs Hellcat vs Viper vs ZR1

    The only 911 I'd actually like is a 997 GT3-RS or a 991 GT3. Even though they aren't the fastest model, they look the best and they go around a race track the best. But, the 911 of any model tends to blend in traffic here in Houston, they get zero gawk factor. We see a dozen Cayman and base...

    LoL. Human DCT made me smile. I've been saying I don't need flappy paddles. :)

    SRT TA VS Huracan

    Thanks guys. I'm just lucky to have friends with expensive cars that are willing to beat on them for our tests :) The Huracan would likely beat it from a dead stop, hard to overcome AWD. I also can't powershift 1-2 without losing traction, so the dual-clutch-automatic would certainly pick up...

    Pirelli Corsa comparison with Trofeo R

    That is a big difference for such a short track! Wish the Viper came with the Trofeo's, like the Camaro Z/28 does.

    I find it very ironic...

    Wrong. When I buy a car, I buy it for myself. I race it, modify it, do whatever I want with my car. I couldn't care less what the next owner(s) do with my used car, once they own it. Life is too short to worry about preserving your expensive purchase for the next guy, buying it at a discount.

    1BADGTS...please explain

    Hey 1BADGTS, is this you under a different username? Or just your twin brother with the same typing style? http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-z06-discussion/3574767-fraud-viper-t-a-vs-z06-lies-and-fake.html#post1588454170 Just curious. Thanks.

    1BADGTS...please explain

    There is no guarantee that the automatic C7 Z06 will beat me. Here is how I did against another popular car, which routinely runs high 10s and traps 127-128 mph traps. With a PDK dual-clutch automatic. I'm just glad that after the race, nobody told the Porsche that they had to shift faster...

    1BADGTS...please explain

    I can likely guess most of his response. "That Nine Ball is a driving mofo! What if we put Evan Smith or any of the other 20 guys I name-drop behind the steering wheel, THEN we would see some real results. Then I'd have McMullen Argus make an article on the race, and you Viper guys would...

    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    Alex, this is a build thread for my own car. I'd suggest you start a new thread for your own car, to ask these questions. I would rather just answer questions about my own car, if you can understand. Thanks.
