i replied to the guy saying you need a car 1.5mil+ to outperform a c7z

the whole forum thread that i took that quote from was about getting either c7 zo6 or a gen 5 viper.

the viper is superior car if you intend to use the car what it was built for. if its just gonna be a boulevard cruiser then get whatever is cheaper (slowvette or w/e else you are looking at) but if you want something that will annihilate pavement and instantly put you in the cockpit of a car thats name has a top 10 ring time, then get a viper.

im currently scoping out a 2010 viper ACR-X, the model that has the 6th fastest lap time. Deciding if i want to bite the bullet on it..would require me to sell my new challenger i just bought but, i would, in the end, have the exact viper with the most championship wins.

this is the exact car im looking at.

i give it 2 weeks b4 u dont wanna drive that car anymore. only reason why it has 6th place at nurbergring is because is a track built car. not much else than a roll bar, seat, peddle and steeringwheel inside.

prolly worse than driving a evo8 without the radio and such lol, prolly hot as all hell in that cock pit, I know my vette gets pretty damn toasty at times, with the tranny right next to the legs.

huge difference between between the viper and the vette when it comes to heat generated from the front. My dads friend made the mistake of buying a viper and literally never drove it because he absolutely hated driving it for any extended amount of time.

My old roomates 09 C6 Zo6 would get very toasty on a hot day just cruising around town. The cup holders are really drink warmers after awhile

Its to be expected though IMO... you cant have everything

too bad you would have to chop off 1/3 of the car to deal with the fat issue.

Thats why they put a blower on it dawg.

Besides... Fill tires with Helium. Problem solved ^_^

You might want to look into that, I've been in a lot of C5s I have never seen that issue.

Nothing to look into lol.. Its a fact that they tend to get warm inside. There is hardly any room between the exhaust + transmission and the floorboard. There isn't much material to dampen the heat. Its not a huge deal but its certainly noticeable on a hot day cruising in traffic in so cal.

no, just buy a viper.

Quote from a vette forum senior member

Let me know when he says to jump of a bridge so I can follow you then.....

yes the ACR is fast, it has a faster lap time from memory over 5 seconds. But you have to then look at a stock viper which looks like its barely squeezing thru @ just under 8 minutes, huge difference. I dont think you can pick up an ACR X viper no adays, can you? not knocking the ACR but its not exactly a car you can go to a dealer and buy. Unless dodge plans to come out with a new one.
