    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    I've been looking at getting an Audi RS5 as a daily driver. Oddly enough that car is more exclusive than most Porsche's and in my opinion it looks better.

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    I must be getting old; I remember when cars cutting 5 sec 0-60 times and 14 sec quarter mile passes were considered 'fast'...now family SUVs can approach or beat those figures...but it's fun to see things progressing as they have despite the EPA and government attempting to undo that fun by...

    V8 Supercharged 6.2 engine coming?

    The fitment issue is both physical and metaphorical.

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    Was out driving last weekend and I counted at least 15 Porsches in a 30 minute period at random locations along my route (There was no car show or anything like that going on). Most of them were silver or white and most of their drivers were eye-fcuking my Viper as they drove by. I found this to...

    Gen 5 owners: What has pleasantly surprised your about your car?

    What surprised me was that despite having driven cars with equal or greater power levels (and similar weight), the Viper still felt more visceral and thrilling...a feeling that is just as strong almost a year later as it was when the car was new. Also, the stereo...did not expect it to be as...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    Yes, you could drive it daily as a "commuter" type car and it's just fine. It's actually quite comfortable on long trips. I've driven for hundreds of miles at a time and never felt any discomfort. I love driving my Viper but with all the attention that it draws I feel uneasy parking it and...

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    Let me compare the Gen 5 situation to the Pioneer Kuro plasma TV. The Kuro was and still is the BEST big screen TV you can buy, hands down, at any price in any format (it beats all LCD, OLED, DLP and other Plasmas by a wide margin). The problem was that they were going for upwards of $10K new...

    VIDEO: SRT VIPER vs. C6 Z06 Roll Race...

    You could also spend $7K on a go cart and have vette-like performance for $7K, although your probability of getting laid by a non-fat chick will be even worse than it is with a vette.

    Stryker Red / other options

    I'd go with 1 and if you can get a stryker red below MSRP it's worth it. The quality of the paint is incredible and you can track the car if you get some kind of paint protection.

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    The nice thing about the viper is that there are so few of them, once they are no longer available new, someone who wants one will have to pay whatever someone who's selling is asking.

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    I want to like the Z06 but the styling just doesn't sit well with me, and if their target is matching the outgoing ZR1 in terms of performance then the difference between the Viper and Z06 on a track is largely going to be a drivers' race. Just be glad they're not doing something retarded like...

    Out of Control

    I don't buy the "family friendly" bit, if you're declaring venue to be "ok for smack talking", it's no longer smack talk as it simply becomes the normal tone. The best community will allow for a mix of the good with the not so good, rather than attempting to force everyone into a certain...

    Out of Control

    The VOA is worse than VCA at this time, and neither is worth paying for until they sort these and other issues out. While I agree that they shouldn't be allowing rampant trolling/spamming, they take it too far. It seems like they are trying to sanitize the forums to create the illusion that...

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    If it was a real GM press release then you'd be able to head over to the press section on Chevy's website and download the pics from there. That said, this pic is probably in the ballpark of how it's going to look...but I bet you the wings and fins are going to be options. Thou dost exudeth...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    This Z06 looks better if those pics are representative of what they'll actually put on sale, but the front grill looks bad and the rear end is hideous. In any case, I welcome the competition...I don't know why everyone else is so concerned about the viper being "dethroned" - if this new vette...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    It's probably going to be the stingray with better parts and some subtle design cues...although it would be nice to see GM make an effort beyond a few badges to have their "premium" vette look recognizably different than the base model that costs 40-50% less.

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    It would be helpful to know the weather at the time of the runs and whether or not both vehicles are stock or not. Is your X5 running stock levels of boost or did you crank it up, and is anything done to the Jeep? If you take two of the same vehicle, with one being FI while the other being...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    Both NA and FI cars can lose power as outdoor temps increase, but temperature and humidity do have magnified effects on FI vehicles compared to NA because compressing air heats it. I notice a huge difference in power on my turbo vehicles on a hot day vs a mild day, while the power loss on my NA...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    The obvious solution to heat soak is to wrap the airbox in sticky foil insulation purchased from summit racing. The more expensive the car, the more appropriate it looks. :2tu:

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    For a blown V8 those numbers are par for the course. If it was NA I'd be quite impressed. I heard they're not bringing back the ZR1 for now so this is probably going to be their answer to the Viper.

    Anodized Carbon Edition at LA Auto Show

    I like this look but I think it could use some additional tweaks. I would tint the headlights and taillights with a translucent smoke film, tint the windows, get some matte black wheels with a black chrome lip and have the gas cap done in a satin black finish.

    So Wait does this mean its official?

    Does this allow me to get a discount on pizza anywhere?

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    Anyone else notice that when the guy was driving the Viper, it sounded a lot quieter in the cabin than it did in the Vette?

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    I don't hate the vette; I just like making fun of it and I appreciate that GM is there to make sure second place is filled by a domestic brand. BTW the viper really sounded awesome in that video. :D

    Owner feedback...seat support and comfort after break-in

    I have close to 2K miles, if not a little more, on my odometer and for me the seat broke in around the 800 mile mark. For me it actually feels more comfortable. I've driven around for hours at a time and never felt fatigued. I prefer some lumbar support and I don't think the Viper seat has any...
