    ACR teaser - SEMA2014

    That would be FANTASTIC! ACR FTW! Um, now can we go racing again?

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    I think warrantied aftermarket is a good idea too. They can rely on Arrow who are already experts on the subject and save on development parts. They can also give customers the option and offer the best of both worlds NA and FI. Shelby has made it work with the super snake etc. so this could...

    SRT and the new gen5 Viper are Italian, not American.

    Agreed. Nonsense argument that the Viper is Italian. By that logic the Viper has been German too.

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    VIR has been repaved and widened. The track will be faster but maybe not right away until it rubbers in.

    No entry level viper

    This guy makes me an even bigger fan of the Viper!

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    Well said. The best driver will usually go faster at the track. I've seen big hp cars hold up fast guys in miatas. However if the drivers are somewhat equally skilled. I think the TA will win every time, especially vs a SRT. Randy said the SRT was not very confidence inspiring. He was able...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    Bruce, do you think they would have been better off delaying the tests? Let's not forget Randy Probst subsequently tested again after the debacle and private test with all 3 version and the times were back to being where they were the first time. I think the performance tests have not helped...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    You are the one losing your mind over a simple post.... My posts have been positive concerning the Viper. I think most here would agree that the Viper would be in a better place were the TA the release vehicle. So as not to derail the thread I'm not going to continue going back and forth with...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    The 911 was not discontinued and does not serve the same client base. Nor are sales struggling right now. And in that group of 911 you have awd, rwd, narrowbody, wide body, manual, pdk, turbo, na, gt, sporty, numerous power train and drive train configurations. Their are actual significant...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    I there still any doubt the TA should have been THE Viper to begin with? If there ends up being an acr you now have the acr srt gts and ta. Absolutely ridiculous for a limited model niche vehicle. Viper and acr. Period.

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    It's a shame that some people are content if they could get in a car and go to sleep and the car run 10's and record lap times with zero input from the driver.

    Rolex 24 Hr Daytona GTLM VS GTD

    Much tougher, faster competition, and many more politics. And a lot more expensive to run. If you are a private team, gtd is a better class to get into.

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    They just started development on the car, benchmark testing starts on their own testing grounds and the C7Z is ahead already. It may not have a higher top speed than a ZR1, but that auto is gonna win almost every time at the drag strip unless you are that good of a launcher and shifter. This...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    That auto trasmission almost certainly means doom on the drag strip, and if it performs like they claim on the track, with mostly not so great driving journalists, it's doomed there too. Especially on an inferior tire. Agree, at least make it an option. Part of the problem is the Viper's...

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    Why do people think the ACR is going to cost a fortune? I bet it will be much closer in price to the SRT than anywhere near a fully loaded GTS. It's the luxury items that drive the price way up, and the ACR is not built for that. Yes, the ZR1 also didn't get a private test day. The GTS and...

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    agree, and there are hardly any If any vettes pushing 850 na. With some skill it will be easy to dominate most events with just tires if not bone stock. It will not beat good drivers in cup cars and raced out c6, c5, viper, radical, etc. with an equal driver. Other than those types of cars...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    That looks like the regular stingray from one of the car shows, can't remember which, but the background looks identical.

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    I think that's because the wheel liner is part of the optional aero package, so they did not paint to match. Every car will not come as you see it in the picture/rendering with the aggressive aero. I wondered why they didn't paint it myself. Haha, and it's the cars fault? I think the car is...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    I agree with the sentiment about trusting Vettes on track which is the only reason I don't have one. If I were seeking a car for hard core track duty, this would not be it. I would pick the Viper. But this will stay stock for me and be a casual DE car. With GM backing track use I would still...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    Far fetched. Highly doubt the TA will be faster unless extreme temps after many laps. This car looks like it produces some mean DF. There is DF coming up through the radiator out of the hood, I think the vents behind the wheel wells are vents for the wheel wells and the mean front splitter...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    Heat soak is not going to be a factor in 98% of the driving anyways. Unless you are running balls out for a 25 or 30 minute track session which most of the people are NOT going to be doing. Irrelevant and only speculative excuse. Not only that but unless the car completely shuts down, you...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    Agree on everything but the price. The LS7 was a HUGE heat soaker as are many of the LS motors. I don't think it will be any worse than those. It will lose power, and then maintain the lost power level, but I doubt huge overheating problems I.E. early GT-R's. I agree, the Z51 hype was...

    track fever

    Yes, good club to run with. Chin Motorsports is awesome too. If you are a novice driver, you should be ok paying the entry fee and taking a stock car to the track. You may want a better brake fluid and pads, but that's it. Other expenses are hotel if needed and gas. That's it when you...

    C. O. T. A...anyone?

    It's a DE only. No times will be kept. No gridding by times.
