    I participated in the wannGOFAST 1/2 Mile Shootout in Carrabelle, Florida this last weekend. It was a very nice day filled with great people and fast cars. The Viper community was well represented with 4 Vipers (Gen2, 2xGen3s, and a Gen IV). I knew gearing was critical as I had discovered...

    GEARING: Let's get the story straight ...

    I have posted the difference in the Gen V new tighter gearing before, but I keep hearing how much its hurting the Gen V. We all need to understand that gears cannot be optimized for all tracks. Any racer will tell that gearing is chose carefully for track specific scenarios. Here are some...

    Undisputed Viper tuning expert. Proof included.

    I first contacted Todd at A&C Performance almost 4 year ago for my Viper tuning needs. My first tune for headers was relatively trivial, but I really challenged Todd when I approached him with my heads/cam needs. I needed a solid tune that yielded great peak power, but also proved safe during...

    Gen V ACR - Leaked as a Toy??

    Came across this new Gen V toy. Very ACR'ish with park bench wing, adjustable suspension, SSG coloured, different wheels, and of course a monstrous "2 piece turbo engine" sticking out of the hood for those who complained about the power. There is even a video showing the adjustable...

    Key Fob and Ignition ???

    I have perused through the pictures and have seen the big red start button, but I don't see any place to introduce a key. Has the Gen V adopted a keyless remote for entry and engine start/stop function? Any info or pics on key fob?

    643whp/606wtq: Greg Good Heads/Cam with A&C Tune

    SHORT STORY: Decided to go heads/cam route on my SRT. Quick searching pointed me to a gentlemen residing just up the street from me. I knew there was some power to be realized by porting OEM heads, but end results blew my mind. This relatively straight forward application of Greg Good...

    Houston Mile - Half Mile 2012

    A few weeks back, one of my coworkers asked if knew why there were some exotics cars running around at Ellington Field. I asked around, but knew nothing at the time. Fast forward, and it turns out that we will be having a 1/2 mile shoot out right here in our own backyard. Some of our site's...

    Texas Mile - Oct 2011

    I wasn't able to make it this last weekend, but I have seen pics of the event. There were quite a few Vipers out there. Anyone have any results? I did read that Kelly's F-body Camaro (from LMR in Houston) went over 246mph!!!

    ARH worth 0.6sec at the 1/4 mile strip

    I went to the 1/4 mile track a few years ago when my car was stock. I had trouble launching (damn you wheel hop), and produced less than stellar results. Actually, I thought my car was anemic considering my poor trap speed. The track is almost at sea level, but weather was at the all too...

    Texas Mile: PICS, VIDS, and a Science Experiment

    I attended the Texas Mile this last weekend. Needless to say, it was a thrilling ride filled with fast speeds and a host of very scandalous cars (and trucks). I was quite pleased with my Viper. It was running strong and exceeded my expectations by a significant margin. For the event, my car...

    Gears vs speeds vs RPM.....warning, actual math included

    Hi everyone, I am new'ish to the VCA, and felt I should start with a minor contribution. I have seen numerous poorly answered posts regarding "what's my speed at X rpm, in Y gear, for Z sized tire"? What's the optimal shift point? My inputs below are based on numerical computations of...
