good:
cheap, fast, easy to find parts, HUD, LS6, mostly bulletproof drivetrain
bad:
expensive/annoying to fix little things (cooling), PBR brakes/thin pads, GM seats

lesson to learn - it's not about the power, it's about the driver. lesson learned? absolutely not.

goodbye! - sold after 7 years, 6 of those on the track


hello! - only drove for a few minutes today in the standing water type deal on the freeway - yeehaw!

The Viper has thicker factory brake pads?

Have fun with it, looks almost too clean to track!

It looks like you can reuse your touch up paint./:\

What's another 200 hp

travisnd

Yeah 200 at the wheels... those Gen IV V10s make 540-550 rwhp stock

longdaddy

nope, these pads are not that thick either, guess I am spoiled after swapping porsche pads a few times this summer.

i like how all the body/interior panels are held in place by big hex headed bolts with no intention to hide them.

as far as clean looks go, it's not like I am planning to offroad it (intentionally).

I do have to say it was pretty neat to get 15 feet of space in all directions in rush hour traffic yesterday, I am too used to driving a civic/mazda hatch daily. I actually tried going 5 under the limit on a road where everyone does 45+ with 35 posted, just to see what happens. The car behind kept at least 3 car length distance - in a mazda I would have been ran off the road! maybe I do need to drive this daily... you know, for safety reasons.

Is that z06 exhaust with a trailer hitch?
Just making sure I can do the same.

travisnd

Ben you can... I ran a hitch for a few years. It's only the C6 Z06 that has issues with a hitch.

RX-Ben

great, thanks.

Longdaddy,

Enjoy the Viper simplicity! If you get the itch for more downforce, there are some even more ridiculous aero options out there.

Congrats, good luck. Curious to here how you like the car after a few events
