[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16319151, member: 68944"] A mag shock setup to handle that size of load would be great. The small stuff on the shelf isn’t setup for that level of dampening but if engineered for the task ie start with something robust like a redesign of what was used on the h1 alpha weight wise but obviously fit and proportioned for a viper, the task at hand, and able to handle 3500+lbs of load. Current off the shelf mag ride stuff isn’t capable of handling those kinds of loads. It was a hypothetical commentary. There also currently isn’t a carbon fiber wheel that I know of that fits the viper acr’s 355/30/19’s. Just bench racing stuff. Mag ride is great for a Goldilocks machine, but it’ll let down a racecar setup. It’s just not Stiff enough, and the magnetic properties while very quick are not lightning quick but the present load is so the car will always wonder unless it’s beautifully optimized. My point was the viper is great but where it loses time in a lap is low speed choppy sections, and very high speed areas where it is well below 1.5g’s. This is why it’s laps at places like Grattan are great but not hold my beer amazing, same with its VIR lap where a zr1 will hit 180mph or whatever meanwhile the viper acr barely reaches 150mph. I’m sure the acr would be a bad choice for Le Mans, mean while a ford gt with only 630hp would probably be 10 seconds a lap faster. Just not what the acr is setup for. I gotta see what the acr runs at Sebring Seattle and how it was setup there. Honestly at Le Mans you’d probably do best to just take the rear wing and front splitter off an acr and loosen the suspension quite a bit, try to get 185-190 on the back straight. Anyways all of this is bullshitting because who takes an acr to le mans. The acr does awesome anytime it is as close to 1.5g’s as possible. It’s trump card is that it is mechanically setup to pull and sustain 1.5g’s. The gt500cftp can hold 1.3g at high speed which is pretty damn impressive for a 4080lbs car. I’m actually surprised it’s doing so on 305/315 setup because if my math is right, it’s effectively holding 5304lbs of cornering weight at 170mph... that’s pretty insane load on relatively small tires. The viper by comparison and assuming my simple math is accurate is holding 5,100lbs. I just took the curb weights and multiplied them by 1.3 and 1.5. Lemme know who that’s actually done if your willing. Static stuff is very tunable. 10 way adjustable shocks etc are great. I believe the vipers aero is also adjustable from 800lbs to 1700 as is the gt500cftp’s from 300 to 500lbs. [/QUOTE]
