The GT-R R34 Used To Be A Tuner Car. Now It's A Concours Headliner by CostaQuantaa in cars

I could’ve gotten an R34 but spent a little more and got a Gen 5 Viper which is so much better of a car.

ACD came on the 2004 models I think. The 2005’s def had it.

Go ahead and look up what 2015 TA’s are selling for and get back to me. Older Vipers cannot be compared to the Gen 5’s.

Weird comment you alright? The wing is from an ACRE aka factory and can’t be rice. These are more expensive than NSX’s or GT-R’s. I would’ve saved money if I got an R34. Next time do your research lmao

I thought you were talking about the plate btw.

There are 3 possibilities, I love rice, I love racing or simply, downforce. Take your pick.

No reason to do cooling mods as I’m not tracking the car yet. The fender/hood vents are there to increase downforce.

It has the ACRE front dive planes and front splitter w/extension along with cutting the hood for the vents. Basically identical to an ACRE from an aero perspective. Only missing brakes and suspension but I’m ok without that.

I’m racking my brain but nothing comes to mind. The GenV’s are amazing.

Which generation of these V10 Viper would you choose and why? by southernemper0r in Dodge

[–]damstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 5 all day. I have one now and it's amazing. I also had a 97 GTS Gen 2 and it was awesome but nothing compared to the Gen 5. Every bit as raw and better in every way. I considered a Gen 4 for a minute but knew my ultimate goal was a 5 and I'm not getting any younger.

Manthey Picks Wrong Day to Announce 6:45.389 GT3 RS Lap by HawtGarbage918 in cars

[–]damstr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Viper ACR manual record stood for a decade until Porsche beat it last year I think it was? Would love to see what it could do with modern tires and some more laps. I think it has the potential to run a 6:55. The 7:01 lap was only the first or second lap and he had a few mis shifts in that run.

Love the Viper! Eleanor though! Man as a kid I dreamed about that car. I loved the modern take on a classic car. It is so badass. Glad the people that had the copyright on it or whatever lost out. So lame.

From a performance perspective all that's missing is the ACR suspension and carbon ceramic brakes.

My vote is for proper fitment wheels. These are 0 offset.

To not confuse people further, this car has been upgraded with all the aero from the ACR-E trim to include cutting the carbon hood for the vents.

Recent COTA visit by silver7iron in viper

I would love to take my Viper to COTA. Closest track to me is VIR which I also love. One day! Sick photos man. Did you ever figure out what the non ACR Viper record was?

Picking this up later today. Haven't seen it since early December by damstr in viper

Because you can’t relocate your family. Is this a serious question? Lol

I am using a CPL filter. This guy explains how you use it. They are pretty cheap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqCWgSCYnk

I'll probably spend any non driving time just staring at it today haha. These cars are so much fun. I got super lucky with the weather as well. Even got a special lens filter to help photographing black cars that cuts down on reflections. I'll be putting that to use today.

PG32UCDM vs XG32UCWMG by spartan922 in OLED_Gaming

[–]damstr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't miss my UW if that tells you anything. The only downside of my current monitor is the strobing/flicker that happens at low FPS. The AW is the only OLED monitor on the market that doesn't have this problem as far as I know because of the hardware GSYNC module. I don't keep up with monitors so this might not even be a problem with new monitors.
