Not a problem... I think I'm the only one who'd be able to ramble off the whole history of the Kappa chassis and then start throwing parts codes at people.

I really need to get out more often...

Dodge Viper SRT 10.- A relic, of times past. Not a good street car, and really only a decent track performer relatively speaking; thirty and unyielding. You have to wrestle it around and manhandle it to get its best performance.

Absolute hogwash. Perhaps the old Viper, but multiple magazines have said the Viper is a better track car than the Z06, stating that the Viper SRT-10 is extremely driver respondent and will do whatever you say as long as you don't push it past the limits.

I'm also not sure if you said thirty referring to its age or something else, seeing as the Viper is technically not even 20.

Wow... all GM, You guys FAIL. The only good thing is none of the THREE SUVs got picked and the Cobalt didn't go high enough. lol

I nominated the Suzuki Swift in the Japanese thread...

I could be wrong but im pretty sure that post 32 comes before post 42. if not, i stand corrected.

I meant thirsty not thirty. Misspelling.

Some magazines have also said that the Viper broaches its limits faster than a Corvette. Which doesn't matter so much if you are a race car driver, but does if you are a normal, mortal human being. Driving backwards into a hedge, not so good for your insurance. Whether you are at a track or not.

Out of curiosity i googled SRT10 vs vette. Got these results
popular mechanics
car and driver
5th Gear
motor trend
road and track
and after perusing them i see no clear consensus that one is better than the other at a track. They do agree that the vettes suspension is more compliant and controllable.

Neither you, or I are right or wrong. It depends who you ask.
