Default BYE Corvette! Hello VIPER!

I knew that Dodge wouldnt let the Vette be faster! This is AMAZING
0-100-0 in ;ess than 12 seconds!!!! 14 inch brake rotors There is no way Chevy can make a Corvette with 600 hp unless they put in a different engine. GO DODGE!

lol did you see how far the handbrake is from the drivers seat. youd almost have to have him pull it then reaching way over there.

The upcoming Corvette SS (sometimes referred to as Blue Devil) uses the Vette Z06 engine with a supercharger to get 650 bhp...GO CHEVY.

Yeah, I just recently heard about that. But....you never know. The Dodge boys might put out something too...like a new GTS or something. They have also been talking about using the Hemi too.

What!? The Viper has one of the best slalom(spelling?) times! I think it was Road and Track?

I just recall hearing that at high speeds it lacked downforce to make it feel more solid (the stealth had the same issue), It's cornering/handling was supposed to be pretty good for an american car and obviously was if they got good times on the slalom but I was talking about the way it seemed to come up instead of "settle in" at higher speeds (100 +)

No float at all in the current, C6, Vette. I've had mine up to 151 MPH, and it was rock solid.
