    I'm not even the one who's paying for this and the thought of the bill is making me nervous. LoL

    C7 Smokes GenV

    I loved the open door technique on the last run, lol. Super cute kids, great dad too. Funny that the Viper has a 16 volt & the vette a 12 volt and the vette wins, kinda like the cylinder & displacement debates. Big question is why wasn't a Viper TA used?? ;-) The MAIN thing is ... we see...

    My 2013 GTS by Prefix...a work in progress (pics)

    SRT dealer format deciding factor

    I understand the issue. I've met quite a few guys with vipers that really rely on the dealers for service & support, I know guys that get oil changes at the dealership for their vipers. So a new gen5, with some of the quirks we're seeing posted that may need debugging, etc., I defintiely...

    Gen V - SRT Roadster

    I was kinda thinking the same thing over the past couple of weeks. We haven't gotten any interesting info from a club perspective since VOI when Ralph whipped out his vert .. uh, convertible design on the screen. I've been wondering now that since we're the red-headed stepchild we might as...

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    Yea it's funny how often mustangs pop up in the gen5 forum. Didn't mean to offend at all. I've been racing stangs since 87 so I'm as excited about them as vipers. By a bit slow I just meant a bit. I thought if you were shifting right before you hit 60 you're adding a quarter sec to your time...

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    Well yea on the GT500, that's why I included my V6 mustang with it 3.73 rear end. But I just looked it up and here's Fords specs:Top speed in 2nd gear @6800 rpms: 3.31's = 68mph 3.55's = 64mph 3.73's = 61mph So no matter the gearing, if you guys were shifting to 3rd, you need to hold the rpm...

    Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptable

    Re: Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptab I don't think it's just a crossover thing. On my gen3 I did a corsa and I had no drone at all. On my gen4 I did and aero exhaust and it has a subtle drone that can get to me on very long drives, it like creeps...

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    I think your friends GT is modded or something. My '14 GT 500 does 65 in 1st gear so 0-60 is all 1st. My '12 V6 base mustang with a perf rear end tops 1st at 40mph and then rolled well past 60mph thru 2nd. How a GT 5.0 needs 3rd to get to 60mph I have no idea.

    Porsche 918 Spyder breaks Ring record

    I don't know why more hyper cars aren't doing the track key thing. When I first saw that I thought in a yr we'd see a lot of cars setup that way and nothing. You'd think it'd be a great solution but there must be some issue we're not aware of I guess.

    First day at the track

    Nice report, good to hear the car performaing so well, IMO those are some great times. Looking forward to more reports, Thanks.

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    I'm going to go out at lunch & see if my '14 GT500 does this too. I've never used all the apps and gagdets on the car other than LC. I'm just interested if other cars take this lame approach.

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    LoL, well if that's not the dumbest thing I've seen I don't know what it is. 0-60 measure with the car then is pretty much useless, I guess not that it matters really, but so lame it's just funny.

    Gen V ACR

    I don't think we'll see anything close to this, only because, based on the TA, all this wouldn't be needed to hit the target perf leel they'll shoot for. Depending on the ZR1, the only issues to deal with are really aero, perhaps some power, and possibly ceramic brakes. Let's face it, take the...

    2.8 0-60 MPH ET...Stock Gen V

    If it were rear tire based, it'd be way faster than a 2.8, it,takes a fraction of a sec for the rear wheels to break lose and spin to 60. Since every other ET looks to me that's a 0-60 ft time, would also make sense for the slow ET on quarter mile, bad 60ft equals bad 1/4 time. Must be...

    VOI Editin ACR

    I so almost bought one of these a couple of yrs back. I absolutely love this car. I opted for a vert but still not sure I was right.

    SRT Viper on Top Gear USA tonight

    I know right. You have a LC paddled car driven by a professional that is actually on asphalt and then the viper on a strip of paint with a comedian/actor/anything I can get paid to do on TV/guy driving it. And the results are ... As you say, wouldn't expect it to win, but could fare much...

    SRT Viper on Top Gear USA tonight

    How does this show stay on the air. Calling it "Top Gear" is as insulting to Britain as calling it "Top Gear USA" is to America. The chemistry among those guys is horrible and their attempts to mimick the original trio in whitty remarks, etc., is embarassing. Could've been a super cool show...

    First day at the track

    You can get trackday insurance on your car itself. I did this for VOI12, it can be had for any trackday that doesn't involve timing, the timing is critical as mentioned above, if there's any timing, even if it's not competitive, then there's no isurance coverage, so for ex you can't get it for...

    World's Greatest Drag Race 3 Unplugged!

    Well agree on the business part, I think the same way as a business owner. But if they sent the TA it'd have a world of difference. Even with the junk mule they sent these say several placed it 3rd in driving rating. Now if had a seat that was mounted, brakes not locking up, and ET of 11.3 as...

    Gen V for 97k.

    I found 3 at this price so far, one in OH, one is GA and the other was in MI, in the $96-98k range. If I were going to go with red, meh, and a '13 it'd be around xmas time, when more desperation is in the dealers' minds. But waiting on ACR or vert news, geesh. Plus the silver is something...

    Offset stripe

    I like it. Now you need to paint the calipers to match the stipe and pull it all together. Great vision and execution!!
