I love my Vette AND my Viper!

Boba Fett

nice!! awesome duo^^^

Out of all the car forums I browse, I'd consider this to have one of the LEAST fan-boyism.

Ever been to some of the import forums? Every domestic is a POS. Post a ZR1 Ring run on say, an STi forum, you'll get 3 thumbs up, and 120 "still a Chevy with pos plastic interior, fast straight and can't turn..."

I would also say the C7Z has received more criticism from this forum than any import releases from their respect forums.


But back on topic - the ACR is downright badass. It's unfortunate GM has aimed more for profitability and downright sales numbers, than catering to a true group of enthusiasts. Then again though, can we blame them for doing what a business does?

SRT on the other hand, knows it can't compete in sales being a niche car, so they went: we're in it for the passion not money, so might as well forget about profit and create a true world class track car.

As an engineer myself my heart certainly goes out to SRT. If I were a businessman, my mind would go to GM for long term product profitability and sustainment...

If the new ACR is anything like the Gen 4 ACR then it is going to be one crazy track car. I have never owned a Viper but have been looking to buy one. I have been looking at buying a clean Gen 2 (I really love the original look), but have also been looking at a Gen 4 or even possibly a Gen 5. I need to start sitting in these cars since I am 6'4" and 270 (what can I say I like lifting weights and pie ) Sorry for the off topic stuff. I hope to see the ACR putting some awesome numbers up at ring and other places soon.

you are making excuses for corvette in your statement, viper was never produced for profit, it's also Back to Dodge now, not SRT.

What is the "We" thing? Do you work for Chevy ?, lots of those people on here , some are really easy to pick out.

Sorry corvette is not a true world class track car, the over heating problems are real.

I don't bother with forums like STI, those cars aren't even in the same league, but over here I do see the of its not a corvette it's a POS, even with cars much more superior.

I don't care for ring times, but who is still talking about ZR1 ring times? Viper took that away with its gen 4 ACR back in 2008

Boba Fett

GOOD 1!!!

NytmereZ

He obviously hasn't been in the C7Z section, I admidt I don't come here much anymore, there really is no use , the more I come the less I like corvettes, and although the. Rear of the C7 looks cheap and pitiful, it the owners who are making me really not like it.

The fan boys are rampant here

Boba Fett

yea...I don't think so either, they even attack other C7Z owners who list a problem or dislike about the car, truly pathetic

I've been following this forum since 05 and joined in 11. I have made a few good friends from this board but do agree, it has come to an all time low with the fanboism.

Do you miss your ZR1?

Boba Fett

absolutely....1 of the best cars ive ever owned

Crabbers

If you had to do it over again, would you still sell it?

I guess instead of asking if you miss it, do you regret selling it? I should have worded that better the first time I asked

Boba Fett

I only wish I could have managed to keep it and get the TA. For my likings the TA edges the vette out, but that's not to take anything away from the ZR1. Ultimately, I am happier with the TA.

Boba Fett

I am thinking about the ACR now...

Capt Van

I'm very happy that I was fortunate enough to be able to keep the ZR1 and get the GTS, but I agree the Viper does edge out the Vette.

Damn Boba, I thought I was the only one in this boat

I do miss my Gen 4 ACR and want the new one. Don't think I can con the boss into letting me keep all 3.

^^nope, me too.

Seeing the Z06 and Viper side by side really makes the Z06 look like a Porker!

NytmereZ

I miss mine, I've said numerous times in this forum that it was one of the fastest stock cars I've ever owned.

NytmereZ

I only see the Viper, the Z06 disappears when a viper is parked next to it, that will never change.

Some of the crybabies have quieted down now that almost every track day results with some sort of issue from minor to alarming .

Crabbers

You'll have to remind me what you have now. And do you regret getting rid of it?
