A "snake" with an all-new skin, the ASC Viper Diamondback is super-light and super-fast. It’s fitting that ASC, which helped the Chrysler Group bring the new Dodge Viper SRT10 coupe to life, would, with the aid of McLaren Performance Technologies, show how the Viper coupe might be taken to an all-new level of “extreme.” The 615 bhp Viper Diamondback features a carbon fiber roof, deck lid, rockers, fascia inserts, body trim and a massive OmniCarbon hood that shows off ten unique trumpeted air intakes, with individual port throttles, peeking through - a McLaren Performance Technologies feature reminiscent of McLaren Can-Am engines of the past. The hood also shows off compression-molded carbon fiber. It’s displayed beautifully, with a broad, clearcoated racing stripe down the Artic White-painted expanse, subtly outlined by “Viper Blue” and “McLaren Red” pinstripes. In all, ASC removed about 85 lbs. of weight from the vehicle - including cutting the weight of the hood by nearly half versus the production model. Taken together with the powertrain modifications by McLaren Performance Technologies, the power-to-weight ratio was increased, resulting in an estimated increase in 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds. http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/02/viperdback_02.jpg |
more pictures coming soon in WYST... prolly tomarrow :)
|
But it's pushrods and RWD - so it's gonna be bad handling and slow off the line ;) :P hehe
|
Any clue why the individual throttle bodies are aimed in what looks to be random directions? Oh and the engine has to sound amazing!! But it still needs at least 700hp naturally aspirated to impress me for the liters they seem to be waisting. I'm sure a crazy cam could do the job.

Looks more exciting then a Vette.
I think 74hp per liter is not too bad at all. Quite a lot of cars out there which have lower numbers, yet are considered "performant". |
Yeah I was wondering myself why the throttle bodies all seem to pointing in different directions..

http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/9...nam12ug.th.jpg the basics are that the nearest to verticle is going to allow the highest intake velocities... this is one way to speed it up... and with such short runners, im guessing that is part of the reason this car boasts much higher power... more torque at high rpm :) in modern cars like the new M5, and the E39 M5... each intake runner is angled differently under the plastic cover to get both the highest volume, and velocity of air into each cylinder. |
Corvette Z06 by Geiger Cars
The new Corvette Z06 has arrived in the dealers’ showrooms! GeigerCars.de (www.geigercars.de) now offers a sporty tuning program for the top-of-the-line model of the American sportscar.
To achieve a power increase from standard 512 hp / 377 kW to 542 hp / 389 kW there will be soon available the GeigerCars.de STAGE 1 performance kit. The tune-up contains a free-flow intake air guiding with sport air filter, special exhaust manifolds, steel bed catalysts, four large chrome exhaust tips and a special mapping for the ECU. The engine tuning makes the Corvette Z06 even more agile and doesn’t only convince with quicker revving up but also with higher road performances: The sprint time from 0 – 100 km/h is reduced to about 3.7 seconds, maximum speed is increased to about 327 km/h. Many other special GeigerCars.de customizing components for the fastest production Corvette ever are already available. The designers of Europe’s leading customizer of American cars developed a front spoiler edge to fit on the standard apron. The bodystyling part doesn’t only make the front view more aggressive: The lift on the front axle is further reduced. Its aerodynamic counterpiece is a diffuser to fit on the rear apron. To be able to always safely control the outstanding road performances of the tuned Z06, GeigerCars.de offers a high performance brake system. GeigerCars.de also offers suspension tuning for the new supersportscar. They designed a custom spring strut sport suspension, which replaces the standard transverse springs to achieve an even more dynamic handling. To perfectly fill the existing space inside the wider Z06 wheel houses, the GeigerCars.de technicians developed an equally spectacular and exclusive wheel/tire combination. The multi-piece chrome wheels were designed in the dimensions 10.5Jx19 front with 285/30 ZR 19 tires and 13Jx20 rear with 345/25 ZR 20 tires. The GeigerCars.de set of wheels with tires is charged with 9,450 Euros. Of course GeigerCars.de also offers exclusive interior appointments for the cockpit from Carbon panels up to the masterly handcrafted full leather trim in every imaginable color and design. GeigerCars.de doesn’t only offer customizing options for the new Corvette Z06 but also fully tuned cars starting from 93,000 Euros. http://www.americancarfans.com/Tuner...002.mini1L.jpg http://www.americancarfans.com/Tuner...002.mini3L.jpg http://www.americancarfans.com/Tuner...002.mini4L.jpg http://www.americancarfans.com/Tuner...002.mini5L.jpg |
cerious how much im reminded of Spectre Werks :|
i can say im not a fan of the rear wheel width... it looks somewhat ghetto in how much they stick out |
Do they fix the interior?
