Ralph runs a 10.8 @ 133mph with exhaust/tune

[Solid Red 98]

Pretty impressive that he was able to run a 10.8 @ 133 with just exhaust and tune. He was on the stock corsa tires too. Great to have a CEO who really knows how to drive!

THAT is bad ass considering it still has cats! and the weather isn't even that great right now, these cars are going to fly. 140 mph NA with boltons, ECU, and ported stock heads I garuntee.

Awesome! So glad I bought a gen V!

AWESOME!! I wonder how he launched? I hope somebody got it on video, this is to cool!

He only cut a 1.80 60' so with drag radials and a 1.6 60' your looking at a mid 10 second car with headers, ECU, still running cats as well. That's getting it done.

Also I did see that it was 44 degrees out there today so the DA was better than I thought.

If we know which strip we can find the DA?

Gen 5 has LAUNCH CONTROL !

I bet he knows someone that could get him an early copy of the Gen V MoPar PCM

He had Belngers on his 2010 VooDoo......

My launch control sucks. Using the performance 0-60 app I was able to cut .3 tents off my 0-60 time by putting the car into full no nanny mode. I doubt he used that to cut a 1.80 60' on the Corsa's.

Anyone who knows how to launch, can beat the factory"Launch Control". In Ralph's case I believe he did use it and that is not a knock on his driving, look at the reaction time, that tells me it was not a driver controlled launch. A 1.8 is not bad, but, it is not a great 60' time. With his mph, a set of sticky tires should put the Gen 5 in the 1.5-1.6 sec region with an ET close to 10.3-10.5.

Does anyone know what strip was used or what the DA was?

Fast & Furious movie should feature it since the series always talks about a ten second car. .

Hey don't make fun of F and F. It was the dream to have a ten second street car that could actually turn (and do it with so much more communication than eh heeem leeaaaaaaammme cpu GTR). Well looks like it is good that they closed the plant so they can hype it up to bring some buyers in that weren't Viplievers.

[ViperSmith]

Time for nine ball to step up

[Double0fox]

No video? Is Ralph a member here????

[ACRucrazy]

I wonder what "exhaust" consists of.
He is making 600 whp according to the engineers on cherokeesrt8.com

Drove a Stryker Green Gen V with Track pack and TA carbon package aero just a few minutes ago at the Ohio party. Very very nice! C'mon Gen 5 ACR!

Would you give up the ACR for one?

[IndyRon]

Would you give up the ACR for one?

Not likely new, just due to cost (the pragmatist in me), but I will say that the overall driving experience is just as fun as the ACR in the one I drove in with Graham Henckel while not having ANY rattles, vibrations, or misc noises that the Gen 4 has and just feeling more subjectively "solid"all the while being wrapped in an interior that is every bit as nice as an R8, Porsche Turbo S. The car is awesome. They had a Blue/White stripes ACR there parked next to the Gen 5's and to me the car is still just slightly more aggressive looking but the Gen 5 really feels that much better put together. It really is a great car....I'm just partial to the big wing on the back! I would recommend those who haven't driven the Gen 5 to do so before passing final judgement.

Didn't Nine Ball run 10.9 stock some time ago??

Yes that was Nine Ball's run that Ralph mentioned in the instagram post

10.8 @ 133....repeat 133 mph........that is freaking awesome! Go Ralph!

[08viperviolet]

I gave up my Acr for one and so did other members. The gen v is a great car. Yes tony ran 10.9 but with drag radials.

[ICPREY]

Impressive times/MPH.

[FLATOUT]

I know he is running cats on the car, you're not getting a gen IV to 600 with cats still on the car unless you port the heads. I think the extra 10-20rwhp the modded gen v's will make on the gen IV's will be because of the new cam.

I'll mod and beat Ralph's time this year. Tony and I will go after it down in Baytown once the weather gets cool.
