    2 new Z06 & Shelby Kills @ Atlanta Drags tuesday

    Do you think the driver mod might have something to do with mid 12's in a Z06? he he he.

    GTS vs. C6 Z06

    First off you are correct, sort of. And I really don't want to have a debate but since you are quoting lets make sure the quote is correct, and matchs the old post you have pasted above. I did run 11.59 with the air filters out, not a different or no airbox, just with a stock airbox with no...

    GTS vs. C6 Z06

    If you read it, its probably right as I said I didn't really remember, but you meant air cleaners not different intake as I would of still had stock airbox.

    GTS vs. C6 Z06

    Well Joe with bolt ons and a good driver in the GTS and a stock Z06 with an average driver I think it would be a good run until they get up top and then the Z06 is gone. Now with the same driver in both cars the Z06 is just too strong and even with headers, exhaust, intake on the GTS the Z06...

    GTS vs. C6 Z06

    I never took my air intake off any car and the best I have run in a GTS is 11.59 at 123, to be honest I might have taken out the air cleaners on that run but its been so long I don't remember? I don't think I did though because the car was an ACR and comes with the K@N style filters from the...

    Hard launch in ACR (1.64 60') locks me out of 2nd or 3rd gear!

    It sounds like a hot clutch to me and when they get hot they won't let you shift, your fluid doesn't look that bad to me and I wouldn't even change it if it was as clear as yours in the picture.

    Would you trade your Viper and cash for a Ford GT?

    Ted I think we have found something we can agree on, I think your Duster sounds damn good!, lays nice stripes and looks pretty damn good too!

    Would you trade your Viper and cash for a Ford GT?

    Well I was close enough! In July 92 the 93 ZR1's came out with 405 and the only difference really between the 2 was the e-prom tune, engines were identical on all Gen 1 ZR1's.

    Would you trade your Viper and cash for a Ford GT?

    Well Ted, when the 400 hp Viper came out in 92 there was already a 405hp ZR1 Corvette! But I will agree with you on the GT! The GT is Ford junk, ugly, slow, low tech , and couldn't hold a candle to worlds most beautiful, fastest and well built car, the Dodge Viper! How anyone could compare an...

    VCA member runs 11.4 in stock gen3

    I was one of the people racing that day and the car definately ran good times and Jim is a good driver but the car definately had an Aftermarket Billet Throttle Body and K&N Air Filters at minimal, and that is not stock to me, unless it left the factory that way and I am pretty positive no Gen...

    Would you trade your Viper and cash for a Ford GT?

    Frank I agree with you as I do own both and most of the opinion I am reading have no fact basis and many opinions are just plain wrong. I like my ACR a lot when I am on a road course but not so much on the street, for me its not in the same league as the GT as a total package. The exotic looks...

    Finally got my new wheels - pics inside!

    Looks totally perfect IMO and I wouldn't lower it as it looks good how it is! Besides that when you lower them it invites lots of scrapes and scratches.

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    Theres no doubt that thing must really rock! I used to race a lot and modded all my cars and after wasting thousands and thousands of dollars and many broken parts, rears , trannys, and engines and multiple headaches I have had my fill so I am done with that for the most part. I am thinking...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    Well I didn't realize you said compare used cars to new ones? New to new their msrp is very close, I can't help it if no one but a few of us on this forum want Vipers and thats why they can't sell them so they have to discount them so brutally! As far as performance I think the Viper, Z06 and...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    I took my GTR out for the first time about 2 weeks ago, its best run for me was 11.58 at about 119 which I thought was pretty good. In good air with better traction than we had the day I went out I think it will go 11.4's no problem which is pretty fast in my book. I know I would probably like...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    I'm a facts guy and the the facts are Viper convertibles are not 70k, mine msrp'd at 92k and I was lucky to find a dealer (there were many) who couldn't sell his Vipers and I got a good deal. Some ZR1's list for 109k which is within a couple of thousand of an ACR so the prices are fairly close...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    As far as the GTS I believe I ran 123 and change, I can't find the slip? And the ACR I ran like 130.03 I think and that was with the wing off, so aero did not play a role. As far as the Viper being maxed out, for me it was as I have made enough passes in a car to know if I left anything in it...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    I don't know how you do math? I just looked at 12 timeslips from my runs in my ZR1 and 7 of them are over 131 mph and 5 of those are over 132 and one was 10.82 at 132.88 which is close to 133 mph. Only 4 were under 130 mph and the worst mph was 128.82 and the only other ones under 130 were 129...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    I can relate to what your saying, but all a s/c does is add cubic inches and as far as which is better really boils down to opinion, and some like na and some like forced induction. I personally like na but the facts are there is way more potential with s/c or turbo, the Porsche TT or GTR or...

    Bone Stock SRT in the 10's?

    I am sure in many instances they do play with tire pressure and have the track prepped quite well, as far as fluid levels I never touch mine or even look at them for that matter. Power shifting means not letting off the gas when you shift and I do lift when I shift so power shifting was (not...

    ACR TRACK PICS!

    ACR in the Florida 1 Mile Event...

    I imagine you could take the the front splitter off and the rear wing and you would be able to see what it could really do. I am surprised it felt squirrely without the wing and no splitter extension as ACR splitter without the extension isn't really much bigger than the splitter on my ZR1 and...

    The best 1/4 mile gear for Stock SRT10

    On a stock 08 or 09 SRT I would say a 3.23 would be the ideal gearing for the car at the strip or anywhere else for that matter IMO. 3.33 or 3.42 could also be a nice all around gear as well but I would lean toward the 3.23 if it was me. My friend put 3.55's in his 09 and I thought it was way...

    ACR TRACK PICS!

    I have a track weekend coming up in my ACR in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if you can recommend a place I can get those stick on numbers, either cling or glue?

    Used 09' ACR value?

    Don't be mistaken, I do have both and the Ford GT does have the near the performance of the ACR stock to stock on the street and with a pulley and tune a lot more! Not to mention the driving experience is 10 times better in the GT IMO. On a road course the ACR might be better because it is track...
