The Diablo is so weird and wild that people just SWARM it. We found that out firsthand when we had a viper get-together. There was some good interest in the passers by, but then a Diablo 6.0 showed up. Oh my gosh, you could not WALK for the crowd that clogged the place trying to get a...
I hate this practice, but they do it every time they do one of these ultimate speed shootouts. I think it's moronic, but not part of any conspiracy.
I just pretend it's not there. The stupid car isn't even street legal--oh, but the maker "promises" it will be soon.
And we all know how far...
Dean--
I have to giggle when I think about these results, and realize that this is just a cute little red convertable car. Almost just a Sunday cruiser, a car to drive to the mall in, besting the greatest cars in the world in performance on the way there. :) :) :)
I love it! People may...
Ferrari 360 Modena.............9.74|4.38|14.12

I came to the forum today after reading the MT shootout.
I expected to see what I didn't see in MT--awestruck wonder about how the 0-100-0 record has been shattered--even the mythical records alleged (but never proven) about the 427 Cobra have been shattered!
You guys may not be talking about...
Ugh--Loathe as I am to back up a zog driver, I must say, JRod's posts have a strong ring of genuine truth (and refreshing lack of attitude--extra points)
JROD--PLEASE BUY A VIPER. WE NEED YOU ON OUR TEAM.
Can you imagine what he could do with the viper?!?
If he is pulling 1.7 second 60's on...
When are we going to find out if the SRT-10 can best the Porsche GT-2 on the track?
I know PMUM (Paul Mumford, ACR privateer) has a GT-2, so all someone has to do is lend him their SRT, and we can put that one to bed. :)
Can we all agree that if the SRT beats the GT-2 that it will have made...
Re: John Myricks 2003 Viper SRT-10 1/4 Mile Video
11.8 @ 122 at 62 degrees farenheight.
Hello Lamoborgini! I wonder what ElDiablo would think of these numbers?
<shaking head>
Amazing...
Okay, I'll beat the vette guys to the punch.
"That car couldn't have been stock".
Congrats...
Re: Yeah, I did buy it from Todd......
DUUUUUUUUDE....
That looks like my car!
Hey, give it back! :laugh:
Ting, welcome, welcome, welcome....
I hope you have the best time with the car...
And to all of my friends in viperdom, I'm trying to work something out...
I'll be back...
Wow...so sorry for the wreck--that is truly a day-ruiner, but a very cool story about a cool-headed escape from what must be a pretty cool cat. I don't sense any tears dripping through the keyboard...somehow, I like that. Get up, get another one, try again. :)
We should do a poll on how...
Oh, I don't see why not, Janni. I wouldn't be surprised if you do. I almost always get a response from media authors of online content. It should be interesting to see what his repsonse is.. :laugh:
If you want raw perfromance, I think the SRT will beat the TT in EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY. We just have to get a good editor in a car magazine to prove that.
Okay, so maybe it won't beat the TT in 60' foot time--it looks like we're still saddled with those long 60's but who cares? It will catch...
I would be sure to have the system's refrigerant topped off before I made much of a decision one way or another. Sometimes new systems are shipped low. It's happened to me before.
This just in:
The brilliant Viper-Tech and recall artist extrodinaire, John Cisek, of Dublin Dodge is going to be ta :D king his welder home within a month. John has MANY well-done recalls under his belt, including every viper guy in this area that I know. All have come away happy.
But this...
Christian--
My man, what's aaaaaaaap?
You see how hard we have to work to keep the truth out there about the Viper/Z06! I remember you telling me that a Viper could never do low 12's--that it's a 12.6, 12.7 car.
You learned, but a lot of others still don't know that their Chebby product...
So here again, we see huge numbers for the GTS in the slalom, way above the SRT or the mini coop. I'm resigned to thinking simply that the drivers in this latest test did not have the guts or did not have the experience to drive the SRT hard.
Do they use different drivers when they do things...
Some of the restriction prevents rain from getting into the motor--a very bad thing.
How are you protecting against that, Cajun? Are the rain baffles still in place?

Now I ask you, in what sad sad world does a Z06 run that badly? .<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
By the way, in the same road test (motor trend)
the ACR got a 0-100 of
Dodge Viper ACR 9.56
This is over a second off the car and driver results above.
See all of these amazing numbers from the November 2001 Motor Trend shoot out (where the ACR did astoundingly well) at...
