Ralph Gilles comments taken out of context - Pure Lunacy follows!
Maybe the SRT and Gen V critics here could go join the SRT and Gen V critics over there and they could all have a wonderful time :) (And congrats Rollymohan!)- Bruce H.

First impression of my new TA
Maybe that's one reason why they kept it the way it's always been, and it has nothing to do with calibre. There's something appealing about a car that's confident enough to do it's own thing proudly.- Bruce H.

First impression of my new TA
Congrats again on the new TA! Hopefully some of the initial dislikes will lessen as you get used to them, and no others will appear. The fender gap is huge on the Viper, and I'm surprised more people haven't commented on that. Darker colors tend to lessen it visually I think. Using wheel...- Bruce H.

Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
Congrats, and I have to agree with your points. It's great to see a nunber of ACR owners embracing the TA, and the Gen V changes in general. You guys are natuarlly the toughest critics when it comes to road course prowess, and stepping up to buy one means SRT got it right for at least some of...- Bruce H.

Rolex 24 Hr Daytona Coverage Link inside Viper on now
Did both Vipers get caught up in an incident late in the evening because they were running in the top 4 most of the day and then had dropped way down when I checked back again....and I think the Vette was in the top 2 :omg:- Bruce H.

Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
Why do you feel 20" would be better than 18/19"? Wouldn't the Viper's higher sidewall provide better grip? I'm sure each suspension is optimized for the wheel sizes they've chosen. I question the suitability of a street car like the Z06 with MPSC on it, but would however choose it or Hoosiers...- Bruce H.

Pirelli says cold temps will ruin your Corsas...and be careful with your P-Zeros!
Correct. Kumho confirmed that all four of these V710 tires had been damaged by cold transit...not doubt about it. But unlike what Pirelli claims for the Corsas, the cracks didn't immediately show. The tire in my picture shows a brand new tire with one HPDE warm-up session on it. You'll...- Bruce H.

Pirelli says cold temps will ruin your Corsas...and be careful with your P-Zeros!
I got a response from SRT but they didn't address the shipping in cold weather concerns. I'm not worried now since Pirelli explained that the cracks will show immediately if the tire is affected. So you need to check each tire carefully if you think they may have been exposed to very cool...- Bruce H.

Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
Congrats on making a decision, but don't be surprised if it's challenged once again when the buzz machine revs up about the next greatest hi-po car ever. It's natural, the industry thrives on it, and they do it very, very well. Some change cars frequently to always have the latest, or to...- Bruce H.

Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06
I checked your user profile yesterday in an effort to figure out if you have/still have a Viper, and your posting history to figure out why you post the way you do in this forum. Hey, I'm a newb, but this whole thing of knocking the Gen V with your constant posting about your 911TS is making...- Bruce H.

Pirelli says cold temps will ruin your Corsas...and be careful with your P-Zeros!
Many may know that R-Compound tires like the Corsa that came with the optional Track Pack and TA cannot withstand freezing temps. A call to Pirelli this morning revealed that 5 degrees celius is the lowest temps that they recommend for the Corsa. That's for storage on or off the car, to drive...- Bruce H.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Todd, Well, I guess it's possible that the lack of a proper break-in contributed to your "groove of doom", which I assume to be excessive wear of that 2nd row. I'll probably just suck it up and use the...- Bruce H.

2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq
I feel the same, and would add that at this performance level that they're even more of a bargain to buy than a Viper, and a lot more convenient for many to service as I expect all Chev dealers will be able to. I won't be considering one for my needs as I'm incapable of purchasing a sports car...- Bruce H.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Todd, Did you do a formal R-Compound tire break-in with the Corsas, or just some street use before putting them on the track? And what hot pressures are you running them on track? Bruce- Bruce H.

Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Tony, The rake and gap does look great, but that picture of yours is with the 19" front wheel/tire, not the 18" with 285/35/18 MPSS tires we're talking about, right?- Bruce H.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Thanks Tony...it sounds like the MPSS is a very good alternative to the Pirellis.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Tony, I see though that the MPSS 345 is listed requiring an 11.5-12.5" rim, not 13". You're obviously using them and feel they fit the rim fine, but I wonder why Michelin would spec max 12.5" and not 13"...- Bruce H.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa If you're trying to maximize performance then you've really always had to shave most R-compounds to remove enough tread and squirm so that it runs cool enough to not be destroyed on the track.

Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads
For those that have tracked theirs on the street tire...do they hold up fairly well to track temps without significant chunking, excessive wear, etc? I would think the TA's extra camber would help, nor would I be pushing the car that hard as I will need to drive it home again;) I should have...- Bruce H.
