All of this is irrelevant if the Z06 is in the shop like what, 80% of the
time.
And as far as ABS for the Viper, that will begin to ruin the original concept
of
the Viper. Which was simple, conventionally engineered overhead cam super
power.
Some thing the average more advanced shadetree can work on. Just like you
need to learn to apply the power you also need to learn to haul it down
properly.
Let's not dummy it up. Hell, the first years did not have door locks or even
side windows. They came with curtains of all things.
Let's not follow Ford and ruin a good concept. You know, have a winning
combination and then begin adding, adding, adding, till the sports car comes
with 4 doors and A/C. Mustang/T-bird
The Viper Rules and will continue to rule long after the electronics of every
other
sport car totally shorts out.
K.I.S.S Keep it simple stupid.
