New Track Viper
 

Pretty Badass:

Chrysler's high performance SRT division has unveiled an even more track focused version of the recently reborn Viper coupe. Powered by the same 640 hp, 600 lb-ft torque 8.4-liter V10 as the rest of the lineup, the Viper TA (Time Attack) gets an updated suspension featuring adjustable dampers with settings for Smooth and Rough surfaces, retuned springs, new stabilizer bars and a carbon fiber x-brace under the hood to stiffen the chassis.


The brakes have been updated for better heat management, and a new carbon fiber front splitter and rear spoiler were added for improved aerodynamics.

The changes add up to a new production car lap record at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. If you want to try to beat it yourself, empty your Cypriot bank account and get your order in soon. SRT is building just 33 Viper TAs in Crusher Orange paint for $120,500 a pop starting this fall.

i wondered what they would do after they go stomped by the zr1 lol

Zactly what I thought.

still is perty.

i wonder if its got michelin pilot sport cup 2's on it or not...

I like! I have pilot sport cup II's on the front of the T/A. Awesome tires!

Srt-4 inspired seats?

:bigthumb:

At 2 seconds a lap faster; in road course racing, that is more appropriately called "monkey stomped". In 2.5 laps, the vette wouldn't even be visible to the viper.

I think the Viper guys have some dealio with Pirelli.

looks like a two part jelly bean, or mabye a skittle.

oddly disconjuctive shape. like two lumps lumped together at the back of the bowl.

Has Laguna Seca become our Nurburgring?

Basically... but the ring is currently for sale... I hope someone buys it and keeps it public.

Yeah I hear about that. Hold on while I email Jay Leno. Lol

Oh, you mean when the ZR1 was on race tires and the Viper was on all season's? that test? lol

btw, my Challenger "monkey stomped" your vette at a red light. could have been the tires though:poke:

Does this monkey who stomps own a dremel?

:hysterical:

I don't know about dremels or monkeys, but the there for mentioned challenger has a gator under the hood..:bigthumb:

ZR1 on factory tires/Viper on factory tires........... Anything else is monkey with a dremel.

:poke:

our cars are not apples to apples comparisons in any category. I'd monkey stomp you in the turns and you'd return the favor in the 1320.

we can pro/con all day

the undisputable fact is that the ZR1 was on a factory optioned "street tire".


Oh, something just dawned on my Ray; you're a mopar fan............ now I understand.

I thought the ZR1 was on production tires.

Put that FastNFurious Challenger up against his vette on a roadcourse if you want to use that analogy correctly, given this context. But even then it will be incorrect since it's supposed to be between stock production cars.
