    How much weight? How much money?

    Has anyone ever proved a 355 gear makes the car accelerate faster? It might 'feel' faster, but I don't think it 'goes' any faster. I could be wrong...

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

    The new Z06 takes to modding well? I just read about one blowing the engine after a couple runs with NOS. Maybe the result of poor tuning...but if the guy spent +$70K on the car, you'd think he could afford to have a professional install and tune it.

    WARNING - Check out your SRT 10 Rocker Panels.........NOW

    Atro, no part numbers. I just saw some very small ones at Autozone. Actually they are barely visible. I had to hunt to find a picture where they could be seen.

    WARNING - Check out your SRT 10 Rocker Panels.........NOW

    I DO drive my Viper. That's the problem. With 22,500 miles on it so far, the bottom side of the sills would probably be bare aluminum without flaps! I was too late for the 3M clearstuff. Tha damage had already been done.

    Nice idea, wrong color - no pimpin allowed!

    Ugh. Sounds like Barbies dream car. No wait, that was a pink Vette, right? Isn't there a picture of an 'older' woman with hilariously huge breasts sitting in a pink Viper? Can someone find this please?

    WARNING - Check out your SRT 10 Rocker Panels.........NOW

    VipeRick, I agree with you. within 1000 miles I took off the side sills and could not believe the level of damage. I thought there might be 'buffable' damage, but the chips go right through the paint down to the aluminum. I put mud flaps on. Don't laugh. OK, maybe a little!

    If you were to get another vechicle after Viper purchase

    How much weight? How much money?

    I'm 39, and work for a major auto manufacturer. I'll use an analogy to help you understand: Suppose you were in the real estate business. You've been in that field for 25 years. You know the area and business VERY well. Someone tells you their house is a gem, worth $100,000 more than your...

    How much weight? How much money?

    You're just a little off with your facts. IF you took the standard C6 and added: Bigger Wheels Bigger Tires Bigger Engine Dry sump oiling system Bigger Brakes The car would weigh MORE than a Viper. By taking the time and spending the money to engineer the aluminum frame and carbon fiber...

    How much weight? How much money?

    Yes, the GT is aluminum. So is the Ferrari F430 Spyder. So is the new Jag vert, so was the BMW Z8....etc etc . I don't think DC should necessarily change the vert to aluminum, but an ACR coupe with a frame built by Dana (same supplier to the Z06) and an up rated engine sounds like heaven to me...

    How much weight? How much money?

    geez... do we have a bunch of guys working in the STEEL industry here? People, STEEL is NOT the only substance on earth that would increase WEIGHT for a car. There's always LEAD.... Yes, an aluminum chassis on the COUPE with a lightweight tire wheel package. You have something against a...

    600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon

    Simply have an outside supplier (like Chevy does with the Z06) build an aluminum chassis to replace the steel one. Instant weight savings, AND they can clear out the part of the Conner plant that builds the frames and covert it to Firepower production.....smart.

    SL65 vs SRT-10

    Extreme wealth and indecisive? The two generally don't go together. Isn't the SL65 around $180,000?

    First dragstrip times - any suggestions?

    Couple weeks ago week I got a 1.871 60ft time. On Bridgestones. Scrap the run-flats. The BEST I could get on them was 2.0 and then they would always light-up in 2nd gear. This was on a sub 50 degree night!

    How difficult to 'un-bolt' the roof?

    Re: How difficult to \'un-bolt\' the roof? Yes, I want to take the top off! There was NO WAY to do it on a GTS, but this 'easy' design of adding the roof made me think. Look at the trunk cut-out. It's exactly the same as the convertible. The section along the front is also exactly the same as...

    SRT Engineers - Why the wheel gap

    Look at any recent Bimmer, the reason they look good is the big wheel/tire combo wrapped tightly by the arches. Lowered Vipers look SOOOOO much better. Maybe DC thinks we want to add 22" wheels to the snake....

    How difficult to 'un-bolt' the roof?

    How difficult to \'un-bolt\' the roof? With the new coupe being basically an SRT vert with a roof added, how difficult would it be to remove said roof section? If it's a matter of unbolting the header and 1/4 panel sections, could you then add a modified verts trunk lid and have an old Mercedes...

    Two new issues in one day.

    I had to have it done twice (the headlights still flickered after the first try) no problems since, and more SOTP power!

    Better daily driver? Jaguar S-Type R, or Cadillac CTSV?

    The Jag is an Auto only car, the Caddy is a stick only car. Which do you want? Easy answer. This topic will probably be moved shortly.....

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    No sween, you do what you want to do. Just grow some balz and don't back down when the heat gets turned to high. I feel ashamed that the Z06 is truly a faster car (not just a little or "the Vipers match" as some above have stated. The ONLY hope is that the guys who make the big decisions at DC...
