Jesus

 

[Eagle]

At least they both appear to be ok! Damn!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Isn't that usually the end result of every viper on a road course?

 

[Mook]

the new vipers are incredibly capable...namely the acr which now holds the fastest production lap at laguna and the ring (technically the lf-a holds that now but it was a toyota test, not official)

 

[Mook]

new vipers have abs but no traction or stability control

 

[Runtz52]

i saw that vid a while back, still crazy. i think i read it was a guy trying to get some sort of racing license, think he got a big ol' F

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

There are just so many videos and stories of vipers and brake failures. I'm sure the acr is a total beast, I was speaking of the older models

 

[Turk]

The Viper is fast as fuck, but I'm guessing it's hard as hell to drive at the limit.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I couldn't even imagine how it feels. It's probably pretty unreal to push a car that hard

 

[Mook]

the old vipers didnt have abs

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

What's abs have to do with anything?

 

[Mook]

your previous comment said you were speaking of the older models. the older models didnt have abs. do you require a flow chart to help?

 

[Mook]

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

No abs caused brake failure? I fail to see the connection.

 

[UWISHU1]

hate when that happens

 

[Tuner World]

I don't have any audio on my computer, but it just looks like he was taking that turn way too damn fast, and he barely turned the wheel!

I mean it did say his breaks went out but I would imagine he would try to engine-break or pull the E in that situation

 

[Yaj Yak]

sillly breaks.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I break for brakes.

 

[Mook]

No abs caused brake failure? I fail to see the connection.

you mentioned older vipers and their shitty brakes...i mentioned that the old vipers had no abs....which would add to the fact that they had shitty brakes...and you wonder why i want to reach thru the monitor and beat you with my shoe

 

[Yaj Yak]

I was really hoping for you to beat him with a flow chart.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I appreciate the information you've given me mook. I just fail to see the correlation between not having abs and total brake failure. Many race cars don't have abs yet their brakes don't fail an they go off track and flip. It seems older vipers see huge amounts of brake fade/ brake failure over other similar performing cars.

Chill out buddy or I'm gonna give you an Internet hug!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It's like me saying that they have metal brake pedal pads. Neat info but has nothing to do with brake failure

 

[Yaj Yak]

mook. hit him with the chart. please.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Flowchart me.
