Not at this point.. just don’t want to deal wth the compromises.. I’ll continue to add aesthetic mods inside and out.. don’t think I’ll add performance mods.. I’d liketo get another sports car down the road.. maybe an awd platform.. maybe that mid engine supercharged vette. That’ll be pretty cool I thinkWelcome to the club... I love the color. Any plans as far as performance mods go?
Congrats! The Gen V Viper is on my bucket list for sure.
As a former C6Z06 H/C/I owner...I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Viper vs the Vette. Maybe not so much on the quality of fit, finish, interior; but more regarding the performance of the modded vette vs viper as it currently sits.
Thanks guys!
@08mojo the viper is definitely different.. with the z if it started to spin Id just get out of the throttle and the car would straighten up no problem.. with the viper it seems violent when you let off after spinning.. i think it has something to do with the proportions.. the hood is so long and back end so short.. other then that the power seems similar, maybe my z had a little more power.. i need drag radials on the viper for sure.. spins too much, 1st for sure and sometimes second.. fit and finish and overall quality is far superior on the viper.. love this car.. amazing.. and the attention it gets is second to only lambos and newer ferraris.. wayyyy more looks then z06 and vipers.. i dont have much experience with performance in the turns and what not, I dont ever drive fast on turns or even have many windy roads around nola..
hope that helps..
cant compare the viper to the 911s or huracan.. its such a drivers car.. those cars will damn near drive themselves.. although i will say their autos and awd are addicting and do so much with the power.. very fast cars red light to red light.
Main bearings? Haven’t heard of any issues. Can u elaborate?Buy a extra set of main bearings lol. Love the genV, best DD I have owned.
YupSweet cars. I think I remember that GT. It used to be yellow, right?

I read the 16s don’t have those issuesEdit: I didn't say this trying to scare you or being a dick. Just saying it joking, thought most people owning or looking at these knew about the problem.
Oh just some of the genVs have had main bearing problem, spinning and losing oil pressure.
Some reading on it.
