    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    If you want to pose, then the Viper is fine. No offense, but I do not buy sports cars to impress people at Starbucks. I actually thought that DC lost interest in 2003 when I bought my SRT, discovered the oil starvation problem and was told "don't take it on track." The Z06 is dry sump and...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    You shouls see how bonkers the ferrarichat folks went when their latest and greatest 430 was discussed against the Z06!

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    If you have to hotrod your Viper to go faster than the Z06, that's fine, so did I, but to then claim that the Viper is better as a result is exactly the same as the hotrodded Mustang/Supra/Vette/whatever crowd talking down the Viper. No, I take that back. It's worse since the Viper cost more...

    Supercharged emblems?

    I have these on my C4 - they are from the 90's 3.8 supercharged Buicks I think. They are great for the price and relatively small, too.

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    Another hijacked thread, but what can you expect with such an inflammatory title? You know what else is odd - and I love Vipers - is that I prefer the muscular and more subtle look of the Z06 to the SRT-10. The GTS still wins over both by a wide margin in the looks department. Oh, and the...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    Welll said and gracious. I got my first Viper in early 1994 and bought 5 others over the years. One of two things will happen, now. D-C will either let the Viper slowly die or step up to the plate and make it king of the hill. My personal experience with my '03 SRT makes me worry it is the...

    Lap Time Differences between stock 02 ACR and SRT-10

    The SRT will be faster for 1-2 laps, then, if driving counter-clockwise, the ACR will be faster because the SRT will have blown up due to oil starvation.

    Gallardo dyno video

    414 with front dirveline disconnected seems awfully low for a 500 hp advertised car

    Why Is This Section So Lame???

    For me, because the car is not trackworthy. I did not want a ST10

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    I see no reason not to have stability management, as long as it is truly defeatable. I have it in my Gallardo and turn it off on the track and sometimes on the street, but it does not make the car any less sporting (and it has no cupholders or cruise control, thank you). In fact, the car is a...

    Loss Of Control, Accidents

    The US attitude about car crashes is interesting. Driver error seems to be a cause of last resort. For contrast, look at Germany. Anyone with a drivers license can buy laps at the Nurburgring's Nordschliefe, a demanding, fast track that is so dangerous F1 does not race the full course any...

    for all those that want more HP....

    I agree with Janni. I see folks in performance cars that seem to chant the Rainman mantra "I'm and excellent driver," with no basis in fact. It takes education and practice to drive well and the fact is that the Viper is so competent that wen you do exceed it limits you are already carrying a...

    TO MODERATOR

    This is amazing stuff. BTW, I owned a SRT and due to its as-delivered inability to be used on track it is gone. So as a former owner, can I bash? On top of that, my example left me stranded twice, the first time 48 hours after delivery. It also began to sound like a bag of bolts within 5,000...

    05 ZO6 - ?

    Time will tell, but it looks like DC has given up on the Viper. It is a huge black eye to go to the Detroit Auto Show and have nothing to counter the Z06. In addition, DC clearly put more time and money into the Firepower! concept than the Viper Coupe. The price difference will be probably...

    Will I have any issues during a track day??

    I won't rant like in the thread, but do get the pan if there are a lot of left turns. Or get a new Z06, but then that will have to wait a little longer . . . .

    New Z06

    Both Viper and Z06 are great cars; the Z06 slammers' comments look purely subjective and driven by the same kind of blind brand loyalty that gets people to put those "Calvin" stickers on their trucks and muscle cars. The new coupe is a cool car, but so are countless others that are not high on...

    LA Auto show killed it

    The LA Viper Coupe debut is one of two things. Either DC has a big surprise ready for Detroit next week (THE major US show)or DC has so little that it did not want to be upstaged by the Z06 that WILL debut in Detroit next week. Personally, I'd like to see the former, but fear the latter. For...

    New Z06

    Hey Ray, give me your SRT on track for a little while and we'll see how it holds up after a little oil starvation action. And from personal experience, Dodge will claim that you should not track it! The Z06 is still on papaer only and time will tell, but the SRT is already proven NOT...

    Test drove an SRT-10

    My SRT is gone and I replaced it with the Gallardo (really not in the same league, given the price difference), and the G is so fantastic I drive it all the time, rain, shine, work, groceries, whatever. On the track, the G is very impressive for its mass - 1:22s at Motorsport Ranch on the stock...

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    I agree that the internet's most vocal participants are the whiners and rabble-rousers, which is why I was reluctant to post at all. I also think Dodge did the most amazing thing in 1992, and again in 1996, and as a result created a passionate group of loyal enthusiasts. But I think the SRT...

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    I bought my first Viper in 1994, have had at least one Viper at all times since, with two Vipers from 1996-2003(I still have my 2001 GTS). Having bought 5 new Vipers, most recently the '03 and been a VCA member since it was formed, I am in no small measure a Viper fan and owner for almost 11...

    NEWS FLASH AUTOWEEK CONFIRMS (KINDA) 500HP Z06 0-603.5SEC

    I have both the GTS and a C4; brand loyalty aside, the C6 Z06 looks to be a better car than any Viper to date, but I am going to bet Dodge makes a surprise intorduction of the SRT/10 coupe. It's going to need a major diet and/or extra power, though, as the numbers on the Z06 ar currently 2900...
