Is this really how you measure the worth of a car? C'mon man.

Getting back to the actual car... anyone know if the exhaust tips can be replaced by black tips that would go on the black package easily? I assume so.

Believe it or not I actually expect cars that are supposed to give performance and make experiences.

I chase Dopamine, not fanaticism.

No one buying a manual car gives two sh**s about 0-60.

Cut it out already. You bash the s/t so much then you end up ordering a touring. lol

Glad I could help with your spec. 😂

Lol. Touring only ordered as an all around car with plans for back seat conversion. Plus with the 3.6l on the horizon might aswell capitalize on the chance. Still unsure of you spec so not sure what you mean.

You're right on the 0-60 though. I've yet to see an ST review less than 4. I don't dare do it in my ACR-E even with the 355 rears.... sideways very quickly. Wife won't ride in the Viper as it's too brutal for most.

On the manual launch talk though. The sensation of the 993 or 996 Turbo launch is just delicious. No torque management as we all experience in 991 to current gens. Truly a dig and eat.

Are you assuming I chase fanaticism? I really want to know so I can understand your logic. Dopamine release is not purely related to chasing numbers. Dopamine release and it's effects are relative to the individual. What drives you and gives you that high... fine. It's clearly different than me. Majority of people I know that are getting the S/T personally and not on this board - they own cars for the experience of driving them... and yet, they also do wheel to wheel racing, in the form of spec Miata all the way up to IMSA GT racing. I wouldn't call them fanatics. I would call them enthusiasts who relish something that the S/T gives them, that they don't see in other cars they could easily afford.

LOL dude he only bought a Touring because he's going to do a rear seat conversion! How long do you think it will take for him to do the S/T clutch conversion after? Then realize how awesome it is and not tell anyone he did

Won't. No value to me. I think you know Chris at Viper Exchange. Call him, he'll tell you all you'd need to know about how I am on machines. Hell I'd meet you with the ACR anyday for a ride or drive if you'd like. You'll see why a modified clutch in the Touring wouldn't be needed for me.

Hell i just grenaded the valve train in my TRX(which takes alot of effort) and for giggles we're building it to a stroker motor. A modified Touring really would serve me no use. 1400hp TRX.... yes. 100% usable.

It's not all that surprising.

I think you could pull off the heritage but may clash too much with the exterior. Really dig it.

I think it was very successful. 👍
Unfortunately, I have no chance of getting a PTS quota. 😕



That's why I'm currently wavering between the two presentation configurations (black or shoreblue).
