Did anybody watch any of the Daytona 24 hour race on Speedvision?Dodge has dropped the Oreca Viper team,leaving
the vette teams to steal the show.And don't forget the earntarts,they drove a vette in the race,getting way too much media attention.Of coarse the vettes had to win overall,leaving a bad taste in my mouth.Bring back team Oreca Vipers!!

I was tinkering around with pricing a viper and it said they had won the 24 hours at Daytona overall. Was that a reference to last year or what??

That last 24 hour race was bad azz. Basically the Viper and the C5 were head to head...in the last straightaway to the finish line the Viper just pulled away...totally awsome race.

No, didn't see the speedvision...no cable

Team Oreca is going into Hibernation, they have the new V-10 they are working on, so all the vipers that are left are the independant teams running lst years engine and chassis. The new V-10 is based on the new dual plug Hemi V8...The street Viper motor(That the race motor is based upon) is supposed to put down 500bhp and be much smaller(Like 420 cubes or so). Look for next years viper to get much better gas economy and put down about 100 more HP(we are talking 800-900bhp) than last years motor.
I cant wait
