    SC and Vert for 2016 rumors

    The motor can easily make more torque but the transmission can't handle it. Therefore, I assume that they are manipulating the torque in the tuning. If the computer gets cracked on the SC motor, watch out! Add some timing and fuel and you will be 700+ torque and probably more hp as well. This...

    Ralph in Automobile magazine

    In the good ole viper days it would obliterate any and all supercars that cost 5x as much. Now it's main stream performance or maybe lower than average except on the road course. The biggest change has been technology. Don't get me wrong, I love my viper technology less but when everything is...

    Ralph in Automobile magazine

    I think the new limited edition cars have been really nice. I really like the TA. 640 HP is plenty if it is putting the power down efficiently. Look at the 911 (530-540hp). It puts down some of the best1/4 mile times and great trap speeds. 640hp is enough if they had a much better traction...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    This is good news for the viper. However, I don't see gm coming out with a z06 that won't at least perform similiar to 911 turbo, GTR, 458, etc. Im sure 0-60 wont be 2's but 1/4 mile or other stats will be on par with the other, very low 11 or high 10's. This vette will be a mod monster...

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    I've bought numerous vipers from ringgold and have always had an exceptional experience. I will buy another viper from them when srt addresses the issues surrounding the current viper.

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    I have owned many vipers. I owned 3 at the same time a 6 months ago. I have loved everyone of them for different reasons. My 08 was great and fast. It dynoed at 540 rwhp, very underrated. I went to VOI 12 and drove the new viper. Loved the looks and got sucked into the best power to weight next...

    Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper

    Nice runs and good shifts from both drivers. It's good to see the gen5 beating up on its sibling.

    Viper Dyno Results

    I love the way the g5 looks. I just want more power. When that occurs, I will order my 7th viper. For all the people ignoring, that's fine, I understand. However, I just bought the m5 in June for what I could have paid for a viper. Btw, the great thing about turbos at attitude is you lose...

    Viper Dyno Results

    This is the biggest problem! POWER?? Where is it? My gen4 made 540rwhp stock. My wifes M5 made 525rwhp uncorrected and completely stock on a dynojet saturday in 90+ degree heat. It made 636rwhp corrected. These engines are amazing. I wish these were in the current viper, then I wouldnt have...

    Gen V Convertible Pic

    Driving one with 1000 is better, I promise.

    First Gen V vs Gen V race?

    im with Maui on this one. I drive them hard after idling for a bit and 5-10 miles. My 08 ran hard! 11.19 @129mph in a completely 100% stock car. I ran it to red line after 5-10 miles. If your cars are slow its because you broke them in slow.

    Viper racing at PBIR YESTERDAY

    If the air and track were not that good then why is a bone stock 911 doing exactly what they always post up? The viper would have lost to a 458 and a 911 that day with MT drag radials. Not a stellar showing for the snake. It should be in the high tens at 130+mph to be competitive in this current...

    Viper racing at PBIR YESTERDAY

    I don't think that is a very good time with drag radials. The mph should have been 130-132 mph. I've run 129mph multiple times out of my gen4 at Vegas which is 2200 ft elevation with original pilot sports.

    Lights after hard acceleration

    I would replace the harness, not cut it! They had to with mine due to the unavailibility of harnesses at the time. Good luck!

    Lights after hard acceleration

    I just saw your pm, sorry. Same problem here, everything checked out and they went through the same procedure as you are going through now. The harness looked fine but it wasn't. I actually called dick winkles about my car and he was about to flya tech out from srt until the viper tech locally...

    SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!

    Nice job srt!! This is what people expect to see, job well done. Nice to see the production car get a bump in 1/4 mile trap speed.

    Hmmmm, words from Ralph

    I like Ralphs passion and determination. He is as open as he can be, and gives us just enough to keep us guessing and wondering. He is not gonna just lay down and take this crap, good for him.

    Latest from Edmunds. Dyno test.

    I sure hope that the production models get a bump in HP. At VOI they hinted that the motors were underrated, well not the case. I was hoping for somewhere between 575-590rwhp. My gen4 made 540rwhp. This should have never been close to start with, IMHO!! All show very little relative go. I love...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Im out until they regroup and come out with something worthy of being called a VIPER. I bought my first viper 1997 because it annilated the competition period and was just in your face mean looking. Nothing was even close. Now, we are settling for performance standard from 4years ago. GARBAGE...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I dont agree with you on the ZR1 being at its limits. Its very cheap to add a pulley and a tune and get great performance increase. Adding boost to an already boosted car doesnt compromise reliability.

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Well, SRT has their work cut out for them. If their goal was to match the ZR1's performance numbers they get an A. Its hard to get any closer. I know MT doesnt care for the Viper but I guess I expected better performance in everyway on and off track. I can wait to hear all the GM guys saying...

    1st track test

    Here is the pass..sorry for the poor video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1q1I0JFqEE DOM, I just sold my gen4 to buy a gen5. I know I can ring more out of it than the mags but I want a significantly faster car. I dont want any other car, I want a faster viper. The Gen4 was fast and a great...

    1st track test

    Why bother coming out with a new viper that wont even beat a ZR1? Sure it looks great but why come out with a NEW car that gets beat by most of it competitors. This with a three year hiatus.....I was expecting it to be close to the 458 in performance numbers. If your gonna come out with a...

    Where are the Performance #'s
