    My math says an average driver should run 10's in an '08 with good traction

    That sounds great, love Johnny boys! Keep your eyes peeled as I will post when the track rentals are going to be in case anyone else wants to go.

    My math says an average driver should run 10's in an '08 with good traction

    Well can't say I agree with your math on how you get to the tens but I do agree a good 60', say 1.8 or better 60' and a clean run should put the new Viper in the 10's. Usually though its going to take a better than average driver to get that 60' in a Viper, but if you do it I think you will run...

    Bring whatever you want there is no tech inspection for track rentals so there is no roll bar rule. We are out to have fun and run good times, don't care what kind of car you have!

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    Thanks, but if you run a 1.6 in an 08 SRT with the stock rubber I am pretty sure you will be beating my runs. I think if you run a 1.6 short on stock tires you will run the best 60' anyone will.

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    Well I am from Florida and have raced at Moroso hundreds of times and still have a place in Jupiter and still go down there and race and in the summer time my car runs almost identical times within a tenth in Maryland and Florida so the track conditions and weather in the summer must be pretty...

    The Quest For The 10 Second Run, Who Can Make It Happen

    Fair? Fair is whoever can do it, nothing matters but if the car is bone stock. If some one has better track and weather conditions then someone else thats too bad for them, when you cross the finish line they don't ask if you missed a gear or was the track to slippery or would you like to try...

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    Joe you must remember watching me run my S/C GTS turning high 10's at 131, 132 mph runs with my 19" Hre's wheels with PILOT tires at Englishtown at the Viper Nationals in 95 degree heat 2 years in a row! Jason dynoed the car at 560 rwhp the day before we drove up, so it can be done with the...

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    Hey Joe! I didn't think 11.4 was a bad run just not what I think that car is capable of, since he only got 2 passes and you say the track was not prepped I guess thats not to bad all things considered. Even though I haven't driven an 08 yet I know what they are capable of and I am really anxious...

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    The first time I ran a Viper was at a Viper club track rental a few years ago in the summer, many members on this board were there and I really don't remember anything special? Kenric, George Farris was actually there that day I ran 11.60 on the stock tires and he watched me bolt on drag radials...

    Any 2008 quarter mile times

    I don't think Evans time is that impressive, I think the 08's should be running teens in hot weather and High 10's in cold weather with a good leave of course. I have been able to turn some ets not far off those in my bone stock GTS 11.59 at 123 and several 11.6 runs the same day, and when my...

    Finally.....my car comes to life.

    They may claim that, but theres no way I believe that car will go 0-60 in under 3 seconds, that would put it in the league of my ZX14 motorcycle that has over 200hp and that ain't happening!

    Decided on an '08 - which one is best value?

    I would buy the one that is 92k, its got the best discount and its the best looking of the 3 IMO and I personally think you will tire of the razor wheels quickly!

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    I am not debating which one looks better and gets more attention, I agree with you about their looks thats one of the reasons I bought an ACR, but it was more than that for me as I want something I can go to the track with and perform well. I don't really care about street presence whatever that...

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    Man you hit the nail on the head! Thats why I bought a Z06 and the ACR because they both offer something the other doesn't, and I don't think an intelligent person with a significant bit of knowledge about these cars could bash any of them unless they are completely blind with ignorance or bias!

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    I agree that you can't really do any comparison before you have all the cars in the comparison on the same rubber with the same driver doing the test, anything else is just magazine bs and you really can't put anything into it.

    royal purple eng oil in 08?

    Well you seem to know alot about oil so let me ask you, is mobil 1 good, bad or indifferent for use in my 67 427 corvette , or my 70 hemicuda? I just changed the oil in both and put mobil 1 in them as I thought it was a better lubricating oil. And if they were your cars what would you put in...

    Car & Driver does it again.......

    And I think to be fair if the Z06 would of had the tires the Viper and the GT2 had instead of runcraps I am sure it would of been up there behind the Viper and the GT-R would of been dead last.

    supercharger vs turbo

    Turbo has to be the best as it is less temperature sensitive and it doesn't take HP to work and a supercharger uses a significant amount of HP from the engine to power itself.

    Car & Driver does it again.......

    I think if they base it on Performance only it seems to me it should of been ACR, GT2, Z06 and then GTR but I guess they don't see it that way.

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    Well you need to do your homework a little better! The only Ford GT that I know that is being campaigned by Matech Racing just won the FIA European GT3 championship at Monza and the British GT3 championship as well 2 weeks later. A classic example of all talk, and no facts!;)

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    I am fan of the Vette but the price markup is a joke and even at the same price the ACR is the superior car IMO in looks and probably performance as well when its all said and done. When I ordered my ACR I didn't even consider the ZR1 as an option because to me the Z06 is the real all around...

    Lee post pics of that new ACR

    Re: Lee post some pics of that new ACR Well Bill is who I bought mine from and after seeing yours I am ready! But they say the car is gated which I guess means it is ready to build but I was told it could be august before I get it, maybe I will ride out to the crab feast to see yours?
