Hope for the future: The race car stripes on the street car!
By the way, the intial announcement documentation shows the six (6) vent hood as an option on the GTS!
The engine - drive train investment got a lot of return for the money. The power is up, the torque curve is fat, the lighter valve train, pistons and clutch makes the engine more responsive, the gear box changes makes the car more trackable, and the rear ratio makes the car more streetable...
Were there paint chips of the new colors shown in NY? Anyone get them on film? I know they'd be alittle off due to the camera and repo but it would give some idea.;)
I think there's a lot more difference between the Viper and the Viper GTS than people realize. Best to compare the previous Vipers with the Viper and acknowledge that the Viper SRT goes in the direction of a highly customizable Grand Touring car. The former should satisfy a large segment of the...
Put the trans in the rear like the race car has. Don't use the race car trans. I believe that Chrysler has a trans for their 4 wheel drive vehicles that can be easily modified for this installation?:2tu:
What I want is for the Vetts and the Vipers to be become so strong from competing with each other that the cry baby BMWs go home. The BMWs have been operating under an aero advantage that was just given the other cars this year. The BMWs still are able to run a race front suspension as their...
I've been reading and watching the tapes on the V10 mods. There are some key mods that will result in a much more responsive engine. The reduction in weight in the clutch, the lighter pistons with reduced friction, the steel piston rings with reduced friction, the new, electronically controlled...
Many thanks for the postings!!!
I've been trying to get folks to slow down and consider that there are two (2) models, with lots of options. Therefore generalizations have to be made very carefully.
The problem is that many posters completely ignore the standard Viper model, ignore the differences (yet to be completely understood) between the standard Viper model and the Viper GTS model and jump all over the Viper GTS model, apparently not underestanding the announcement. More importantly...
Three (3) Viper models were introduced: (1) the standard SRT Viper, (2) the SRT Viper GTS and (3) the SRT Viper GTS-R. Not one (1) model but rather three (3) models.
(1) The Standard SRT Viper was shown only in a quick wall projection and showed a different hood design. This model was...
Any way you want it. The "track package" on SRT will result in a 3143 lb (dry wt) street fighter. The GTS at 3277 (dry wt) will result in a Grand Touring car.
IMO: The focus at the NY show is on the "new" customer, the "expanded" market, with the GTS.
The raw model will be the SRT and may well get a slightly different intro to the "old" market.
