    If you were Cerebus, what would you do with the Viper?

    I read the details of the contract agreement and it appeared that Cerberus is closing the plant and Viper production at the end of this product cycle. They did not indicate the exact year, but my guess would be 3-4 years. Surprised nobody in the Viper community picked up on this earlier.

    Transmission Issues (Recommendations)

    If you do one thing...get the MGW short throw lever and knob. It takes 5 minutes to install and makes a dramatic improvement in shift quality. Seriously. As for the skip shift eliminator, I do not understand why people complain as from Day One I never even knew my car had one. Sorry, but you...

    I believe the rear axle is still the Dana 44 so the parts could very well interchange.

    What happend?

    From a design perspective the transmission in the Viper is not designed to be powershifted. The synchros, blocker rings, etc, all rely on an extremely short interruption in power (clutch) to function properly. If you want to powershift reliably under high load you need to eliminate the synchro...

    2008 Dodge Viper

    Close, but not quite on the mark. Desmodromic valve trains use the cam to both open and close the valve as opposed to a more traditional layout where the cam opens the valve and the valve spring closes the valve. The desmodromic systems work great at high engine speeds where a spring is too slow...

    Yes, it can easily be supercharged. Many factory supercharged vehicles feature variable cam timing, and aftermaket kits have also been developed.

    It means variable valve timing. In other words, they can change the timing of the valves opening and closing relative to engine speed, load, etc. Normally, this is achieved using a hydraulic cam phasing unit powered by engine oil pressure with electronic control via a solenoid. My F150 utilizes...
