GS Stripes on a Dodge?
I would like to know how did the dodge boys get the permission to use the Grand Sport's chevron stripes? Did GM feel bad for them and through them a bone?

viper was designed to be the modern day Shelby , shelby himself was supposed to help with the whole project, but he passed.
Know your history before you spat garbage, you are just another sour grape chevy fan boy trying to start crap.

Cunningham Race cars were the 1st cars to use racing stripes, Carroll Shelby was the second and were the 1st to be used on the street , so I would ask chevy how they got permission to use Shelby racing stripes on the c2 corvettes, due to the fact that Shelby gave the go for stripes on Viper, honestly your question is stupid, corvettes look terrible with stripes (except the 96 GS and the original 60's c2's)

I don't think those stripes are patented.

Those fender hash mark stripes also started back in the 1960s on racecars, and many of them were just duct tape. They did that to distinguish between cars on the same race teams. Some had 1 stripe, 2 stripes, etc...
Not a Chevy thing. Even Fords and Mopars did that.

Where is the OP now.... My guess is his head buried in the sand for such a stupid topic., it's funny how the C7 corvette fanboys claim to have such hate for Viper, but can't stop talking about it.

Thank you for clarifying where the stripes came from. But in the last twenty years with the return of the Grand Sport they where exclusively on corvette. It seems the Dodge picked up on it late in the game. Sorry to offended some people here in the forum that know it all with such a mindless question.

My buddy has a Viper and it is a wonderful car. I like all cars regardless of the manufacturer and never understood the whole "your car sucks" mentality. I currently own Chevy's, Fords and Mopars.
That said, I can understand good nature ribbing between owners of different makes and take it as a fun poke. No need to get nasty or arrogant about it.

Also, Ford Model T's all had black wheels. Therefore all black wheels are a Ford idea.

I'm not a Dodge guy (or any brand loyalist), but now is not the time to get on your high horse about GM feeling bad for Dodge. Have you looked at the cars Dodge is putting out? (besides there stripes)? They are making GM look bad.

Yet, here you are on a Corvette forum!

The attitude here is that you cannot own any other car except a vette that irritates me, along with the reviews of people who no nothing of the cars they speak off.

I like the Viper however it's not in the cards for me right now, I definitely will get a GTS one day, or at least I hope to. The only car that I think is over hyped is the HC, yeah it's a fast car.......in a straight line but a lot of people in here seem to think it's the be all and end all of automobiledom. They watch a couple of YT vids of the HC doing a roll on race against a Z06 and all of a sudden they're the fastest car on the planet, fact, the Z06 A8 is faster than the HC to 60 as well as the 1/4 and when a reputable automobile reviewer does the test it will be proven without a doubt. Two dufuses doing a roll on race means squat to me, go to a track if you want to convince me either way.

However, I've read a lot of your posts putting down the C7, Stingray and Z06........

because some people in here are too stupid to know that the HC is a totally different car than the Stingray and comparing the two is meaningless and trying to convince people of this is like banging your head against a brick wall. Have you seen how many threads there are comparing the two, it's ridiculous. So in answer to your question why I care, I don't really, I'm just trying to show people the error of their ways after all, aren't forums supposed to provide accurate information about things?

I've stated that I'm not a fan of the rear , but I'm not the only one.
As far as the Z pointing out the obvious problems it has , I also think the aero was an afterthought , something that is shared with others, is in no way ripping on it, I have not ripped the C7 at all.
It is just fact that some people can't take any constructive criticism on anthing corvette, topics get removed , members like 9ball who is actually very partial get banned for nothing, this forum is very different from whe I joined it.

The Hellcat video stuff, showing the roll races, only compared ONE aspect of these two cars. Highway acceleration. By now, we've all see how the M7 Z06 hits a wall at 120 mph and seems to accelerate slower than it should. I've never seen anyone mention that the Hellcat was better, or claimed it could do lap times, etc... like a Corvette can. The Hellcat fans just pointed out that it was faster from the popular rolling start 60-140 runs. Well, it is. Even the magazine data to 150 mph suggests this.
That being said, it was the Corvette fans that started all the "but it can't take turns" or "but it doesn't beat it on the 'Ring" stuff. Those comments didn't come from the Hellcat fans. So, this puts the question on who was "being stupid" and comparing the cars in those other ways. The only comparison was acceleration.

Please don't be offended, but I'd like to offer the counter to this statement. I agree with the statement, but there is some information missing.
