Everything is awesome right up til they show the rear end of the car then all #%#$% breaks loose! YUK Damn they screwed that part up!

 

Damn... What a car!!! The SRT Viper is gonna get beat for sure!

 

That car was never a problem for the c6 zr1

 

Except on the track where the SRT TA is quicker at MRLS and the ACR is quicker at the 'Ring. And then the question of supercharger heat soak for extended lapping sessions...

 

Never... in the track the ZR1 will destroy any Viper... the Zr1 have the best brakes and suspension in any American car...

 

Before I had my ZR1 I had an opportunity to tack my ZO6 and go up against a handful of porsche's (no turbos) corvettes and an ACR viper, with my inexperience I pulled off a second place out of 67 competitors. Not that any of this means anything but I was proud to say that I had beat the Viper.

 

"Destroy"? LMAO. Nevermind heat soak from the supercharger, this pro driver proved otherwise. I thought this was common knowledge. Published in Motor Trend, various internet pages, etc:
It may have the most high-tech suspension (actually the CTS V-Sport is probably better since it doesn't have leaf springs), and the best brakes, but Mero really saws on that wheel at the 'Ring.

Word from Chevy is that the new 8 speed auto shifts faster than Porsche's PDK.

 

And Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney...

 

It's an automatic, why is that hard to believe?

 

Because its Chevrolet thats why. Personally even if it shifted faster than a gt3 or tts for that matter I wouldn't be impressed.

 

Not impressed they got a regular slush box to respond and perform quicker than a dual clutch? Huh? I'd say that's a miracle they even got to dual clutch type performance let alone beat PDK which is one of the tops. I've driven the Jag F-Type and that 8 speed was great but just wasn't at the level of a dual clutch. Actually I hope the manual trans rumor is true.
Huh? The TA beat, though narrowly, the ZR1 on track with its plebeian Pirellis vs the ZR1 Sport Cup tires. When Sport Cups were swapped on the TA it was over 2.5 seconds per lap quicker, now that's destroying. GM nailed the Mich contract though, SRT better hope Pirelli releases the Trofeos that are Viper spec'd though to go against the Sport Cups. If not the Vipers a sitting duck on the regular Pirelli Corsa. That's not to take away from the ZR1 which is an awesome performance car, heck we should be glad both brands put an *** whipping on makes costing 3X as much.

 

The Z06 will come with either a 7-speed manual or a 8-speed auto. That's not a rumor. That's direct from GM.

 

Was talking about the Jag lol

 

I don't care if you swap the tires or no... we are talking about stock cars...

I had 2 Vipers and.... the are very good looking but the worst cars in the planet... there was no one thing i like about that car.... only the way the car looks...

I also owned a Z06 and wow... just wow... i still miss that car...

I hear the new Viper still have a lot of flaws... like the launch control, the heat from the exhaust coming inside of the car, etc

I really love the way they look and i even though about trading my Gallardo for a SRT Viper but.... i read about it and i change my mind very quick...

I'm sure the C7 Z06 won't have any of this problems i drive a Lambo but in my heart i'm a Chevy guy...
