For you studs who like to bait each other, how about you post your times at various tracks to see whether you are extracting the potential of your car before you get too worked up over how fast the car is.

I can tell you why, at least for me. I am guilty of "funning" those (from time to time) who are "sensitive/apologist/fanboi/easy to get a rise out of". Combine that with being a Viper owner and you have "Viper troll". This is in particular to the C7Z ultra sensitive fanbois. This is funny being as though Ive had several vettes and the ACR will be only my 2nd Viper. In fact I just picked up my 3rd Gen 6 Z06 (there is a thread on it). I started lurking this forum in 05 when I got my 1st vette, didn't join till 11. I cant ever recall such fanboisim and sensitivity with Vettes like when the C7Z got in their owners hands. Look how it explodes over there when a comparo is not only done with vipers and what have you, but even other vettes such as the ZR1 of course. It goes down hill in a hurry and is written off quickly if it doesn't favor the Z06....Some don't even want you talk/post if you don't own 1....What kinda lil girl chyt is that?!?! This is a forum meant to discuss all aspects-facts, statistics, speculation Etc.... even if some1 comes in with a wise *** comment or joke, dudes start tripping and whining about dissing the car, the discussion should be able to continue as I believe we are all grown men here (although Im seriously beginning to doubt this).

Does framing status mean the actual frame itself is being put together? Or "framing" your build by compiling all the parts specific to your build sheet specs? Sorry if silly question. You know, speaking of some being sensitive, please don't post any youtube vids of an ACR in full aero packaging beating a stage 1 C7 Z in a roll race......the C7 section will implode.

I used to be able to tolerate the fanboys, in fact some of my early posts when I joined in May are probably a bit "fanboyish". Now it's completely annoying and gives me a headache to read their posts. I find it amazing that they can't accept that something is faster in a straight line or around the track.
The Z06 is a great car and the C7 just like every generation of the Corvette is amazing. I can say the same for the Viper and many other cars as well. Right now is probably one of the best times to be a car enthusiast. I mean we have a street legal race car (ACR), a car that is great around a track and can be as great of a daily driver as a Malibu (Z06), Mustangs and Camaros that will give exotics a run for their money, and hyper car war going on (although to play in that league you might need a lot more $
).

I don't know how my post on lap times landed here. I intended to taunt the children fighting over lap times. I too have an ACR on order.

Lol I didn't know all that status stuff either...I think I have somewhat of an understanding now
BX-car to be built for dealer with allocation
D-D1-VIN assigned
E-framing
G-trim
I-final inspection
J-JS-storage
KZ-ready to ship
Was advised Im in G as of right now. I still really don't understand because my I ordered mine 3 days before my friends ordered his and he took his home today. Both extremes.

When I ordered my '13, I remember the G phase moving very quickly beyond that point. They only build 6-8 cars per day, so most of those end phases occur on the same day. Unless something fails final inspection, so they pull it off to the side of the assembly line into a special area and replace/fix what the issue is. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend going on a plant tour before they close!

Boba,
Any word on your delivery date? Mine still shows D1 status, but has a projected delivery date of Jan 22nd. There is a Mojave Magnum Mile event in March that I would like to make. I want to run the mile/1.5 mile in a max downforce configuration and then remove the splitter and trim the wing to see the difference in top speed.
