    YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THIS - THE NEW VIPER WILL RUN 10'S IN THE 1/4 MILE

    Re: YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THIS - THE NEW VIPER WILL RUN 10\'S IN THE 1/4 MILE This car will certainly break into the high 10’s, in my opinion. I did 11.78 in my 2003 in less than stock form. Bone stock, the car originally dyno’ed at 438.6hp and 465.9tq in June 2003. I added K&N air and had...

    I RACED W/NEWZ06 SUNDAY, WARNING SRT10 ITS NOT GOOD NEWS

    Ranger, Interesting thread, and I appreciate your willingness to help others improve their game. I notice that you don’t mention power-shifting, but it’s hard to believe you could attain those times without it. Do you power-shift all gears? I’d also be interested in hearing your technique for...

    Waterproofing Your SRT-10

    If your SRT-10 has ever been stuck in 2 consecutive days of rain, many of you might be surprised to find a half-inch of water in your floor pans. The problem has happened to me, and other owners of 2003 and 2004 SRT-10s. In my case, the problem was easily rectifiable, although very...

    Spun Out Last Night

    In my previous non-ABS RT-10, hard braking would cause the rear end to jump right, in which case I would turn the steering wheel slightly clockwise in the direction of the spin. With ABS my SRT-10 brakes straight so no compensation is necessary. As stated previously, when you hard braked all...

    Which K&N intake for SRT10?

    I have an early K&N that I would like to sell. It has drill-outs of ½” and ¼” which were recommended back then. As you can see from my signature, this kit was instrumental in helping me achieve a sub 12-second ¼ mile. I plan to return my car to 100% bone stock and see what I can turn in...

    New Platform Dimensions for Next Generation Viper

    Dean: You forced me to do a little research and you are correct about the CG height remaining the same with an increase in front/rear track. I was correct, however, about the improved performance (cornering) and I now know why. Thanks man!

    2003 Viper Sold at Barrett-Jackson

    The car sold for $63,000 + 8% commission ($5,040) = $68,040 Maybe the bidder forgot about the 8% buyers premium (ouch!), or maybe the person just knew the 1st production year, GenIIIs, are worth more. :)

    2003 Viper Sold at Barrett-Jackson

    A Silver 2003 with 4,900 miles just sold for $68,040: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/auctionresults/default.asp Also, eBay has only four 2003s for sale as well as the ViperClub classifieds. With spring right around the corner and little inventory of 2003s, I think a few of these cars may be...

    New Platform Dimensions for Next Generation Viper

    Ok, I think I have a compromise. We borrow the front and rear track from the Dodge Charger of 63” on both. This allows us to stretch the width to approximately 78” and still gives us a great super car look. Now Bill P. can ship his Vipers everywhere as long he can find someone skinny enough...

    New Platform Dimensions for Next Generation Viper

    The Lambo Murci and the Ferrari Enzo are 5 inches wider than the SRT-10 (80” vs. 75”). These same two cars have a wheel base one inch shorter than a C6 Corvette (104”). An 80” width is the magic number for super car status. Any increase from 75” toward that number would lower the center of...

    Good News for Generation I & II Vipers

    I think HP has always been a key factor in determining which car in a particular generation is most desirable. The 67 big block Corvette was the only mid-year to offer a 435 HP, 427ci engine (L71). This was 10 HP more than the 427ci (L72) in the 66 model year. Also, there were a couple of...
