    conspiracy theories

    I love conspiracy theories; I don’t believe any of them BUT they give free reign to creativity and are never troubled by facts! So here’s my effort at fantasy writing. See if you can top this.:rolaugh: The ZR1s which SRT used for comparison testing were provided by GM as a courtesy. All ZR1...

    Optimism, Pessimism and Trolls

    IMHO, there is an element within the Viper nation that believes that there was a time when nothing was "pretty evenly matched" to the Viper AND they don't want any other current car, Corvette included, to be "pretty evenly matched" to the Gen V Viper. That desire for a performance advantage over...

    Automatic Viper?

    Packing is interesting. For example, if you start with a trans that is designed for four wheel drive, then you can mount it in the rear, in front of the rear diff, ala the Corvette. That is exactly what Corvette did. They started with a four wheel drive trans from the truck division. The...

    Latest from Edmunds. Dyno test.

    A long time ago, Pontiac brought out a car named the GTO. A magazine tested it against a Ferrari GTO, the V12, 3 ltr racer. The magazine reported that the GM product beat the Ferrari. What they didn't report was that the GM car arrived in a trailer from a then famous stock car racing team, could...

    Track Pack Plius

    Been messing with this same issue. Get Track Pack and swap the tires? Or get the light weight brakes from MoPar and stick with the street wheels and tires? Or get the light weight brakes from MoPar and replacement tires and wheels from the aftermarket? Or ? Oh well I'm waiting a year so maybe...

    Car&Driver:ZR1 beats the Viper...again

    Ralph did make such a statement at the intro. You can go back and see the tape. Perhaps now that the F150 is coming out, Fiat will lift the ceiling? GM has done something interesting that may apply. At the 2011 Corvette bash, the Vett Program Manager told the audience that GM did not consider...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    MoPar parts may solve that problem but at the cost of the warrenty. Reliability may well be there but not the warrenty.

    Don't under estimate the importance of the cooling changes to the tuning.

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Wait a minute. If the five laps criteria was on for the test then what was being tested was "How fast can Randy Pobst go within five laps on a green track at Laguna in a ZR1?" and then "How fast can Randy Pobst go within five laps on a green track at Laguna in a Viper?" It was a test of Randy...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    In looking at the lap chart provided by MT, the Vett out braked the Viper. Plain and simple. And it looks like the Vett was able to carry more speed through most of the corners. The cause of that is not known. It would be nice to instrument both cars and learn exactly what enabled the Vett to...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Your definition of a true enthusiast is facinating. Apparently you've never been to a sporting event and sat with the home team fans. The fans are ALWAYS giving "advice" to the players, managers, coaches and referees on every subject and the results of every performance, even a win. Passion is...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I agree completley with the above statements. IMO, the Vett showed that a daily driver, GT type car can be very fast. The Z06 with the Z07 is the Vett track car, not the ZR1! The ZR1 is a very easy to drive, street, GT type car. Simply, the Viper was beaten in this test. One observation, I...

    "a 640 hp Viper being released in 2013 IS NOT A COMPETITIVE SPORTS CAR. So...what was once the WORLDS MOST FEARED and highly respected sports car has been Europeanized and is now actually SLOWER in a drag race than 95% of everyting else in its cateragory. So, yes, we will still have a...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I'd like to see a Viper vs Viper series of tests. Gen V SRT with no options except aero and track vs a Gen V GTS with no options except aero and track. Then an intergenerational series of tests. However it will be very hard to get STOCK previous generation cars. The ACR would be excluded UNTIL...
