    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    On this subject I've been making a point to check for orange peel over the past few years on exotics and luxury cars. 458s, F12s both have noticeable orange peel. Gallardo has orange peel. Most Mercedes have orange peel. The only two cars I've seen recently without orange peel are a buddy's...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    This. However I've read numerous times that Chevy was not comfortable squeezing out any more NA HP without compromising long term reliability. Their options were bigger displacement or FI. FI is the easy way out. I could be wrong but I have a feeling this going to crush the Viper in...

    Hellcat twin turbo Hemi V8 showing up in the Viper soon?

    And it will only work if it does NOT have Viper body work and is not called Viper. It can only share under the skin parts. Give it another snake name.

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    For the sake of argument when you say "auto" please specify if you mean real auto with torque converter or a DCT. I think on the fencers will support a DCT. It's the other legitimate auto that we don't want. even being offered.

    Hellcat twin turbo Hemi V8 showing up in the Viper soon?

    Let's hope they aren't going to do that. Now a cheaper sports car with Viper underpinnings and this motor would be a great idea. It can compete with the base vette and won't dilute the Viper's exclusivity.

    Gen V Roadster...spied!

    I hope it has its' own rear. The coupe rear doesn't work on the vert. It doesn't flow properly. Only way it will work with a coupe rear is as a targa.

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Congrats on the purchase! So maybe price was the problem from the beginning then? Not the car or HP... It seems more people are purchasing after the deep discounting

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    How about the Lambo E-gears. They've been holding up abuse with the UGR TT kits for years now. I'm not sure what if any has been done to beef those up.

    $34,380 off MSRP Loaded GTS!

    Had this car been around when I was shopping, and not red, it would be on the way to my house. Hell of a deal.

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    My father had a 4 speed automatic put into his TT SRT Vert. It was cool but very unsafe IMO, especially with boost. I can't remember the dyno numbers but if memory serves my correct he lost around 100WHP or more going from the factory 6 speed to the automatic. While with ****ty drivers the auto...

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    Real Automatic will be a huge fail. A true DCT will be a huge win. Regardless of how fast the automatics from ZF shift, you still have the huge HP loss through the drivetain. With the DCT you have lighting quick shifts and no drivetrain HP loss. i.e. all the benefits of the automatic + all...

    SRT a brand or a trim level?

    I'm gonna have to disagree on one thing, I own a '14 SRT Jeep and know a lot of people with SRT Jeep. All of them wanted a Jeep that halls ass. I don't want an SRT SUV, I want a Jeep with the SRT package. Nothing better than people saying "oh it's just a Jeep" while they drive away in their crap...

    SRT a brand or a trim level?

    It's no different than AMG. AMG is a trim level for the Mercedes brand, however the SLS was technically an AMG car, not a Mercedes. Even though it donned the Mercedes badge and everyone called it the Mercedes SLS, it was actually the AMG SLS. No big deal. Edit. Didn't realize someone already...

    First 2014 Billet Silver Viper

    Well, considering that about 3/4 of the car people I've met, while nice, are low class with a buck I'd say yes. They are ghetto. If you want to use a race car as an example let's not ignore the paint scheme. A race car can put any color style it damn well pleases. It's a race car. But the black...

    RIDICULOUS.....

    Tuning from Diablosport was just released for the 2014 SRT Jeep. It might be worth call to see if they're doing anything with the Viper. I know the Jeep had the same hurdles as the Viper so I don't imagine a fix could be that far off. Then the Viper modding can begin.

    Told ya...

    You can afford a Pagani, F40, F50, Enzo, La Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, F1, P1, Carerra GT, 998 and you have never owned any of them!!!??? And when you say afford I assume you mean paid in cash without feeling a thing. That's impressive restraint I must say...unless you are in a very capital...

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    SRT can build a street legal version of the GT3-R for under 200k. I'm convinced. There are a lot items that will carry over from the production car and a lot of race systems that won't be included. It can be done. It also doesn't have to be quite as radical as the GT3-R, just somewhere in between.

    No Viper in Road and Track Performance Car of Year???

    Part of it is related to no ground breaking performance over the previous model. The bigger part is even if the Viper came out with 700HP+ NA (which it should have), was another 100lbs less, and was wider Road and Track still wouldn't have featured it. I'd venture to say that the Gen V would...

    First 2014 Billet Silver Viper

    Lol at the crystal pepsi What I mean is, yes the OEM finally caught up, but in general matte black and gloss black are old news. That was circa 2006 in the car scene. Now it's all the old farts who are falling in love with them. Same goes for blacked out and matte paint jobs. To the others...

    First 2014 Billet Silver Viper

    God that's a beautiful color. No it's not matte. It's a metallic paint with a LOT of flakes. On another note SRT needs to offer the black chrome finish in all of the wheels, matte and gloss black wheels are as old as Pepsi Clear.

    I mean WTF...

    After reading through pages and pages of opinions I think the single most important issue holding the Gen V back is this. No support. No tuning.

    2013 SRT Viper by Vivid Racing Previewed Ahead of SEMA

    Because generally speaking carbon to be painted is not beautiful like carbon intended to be bare. A lot more car and work goes into creating carbon parts intended to be shown. Take a look at Pagani, I don't remember the exact numbers but the option to be bare carbon is in the $200k+ range. Same...

    What the ACR should look like

    It's not a problem if they put factory adjustable shocks on it. Ship it high and slam it when you get it. Also, it goes without saying that you can NOT completely duplicate the GTS-R and make it a streetable vehicle. This we know. It's understood that you will have to make the skirts, front and...
