    Who to call for Viper parts?

    Am considering converting my Gen4 Coupe to ACR spec aero, and putting in a Gen5 3.55 rear. In the old days I used to call Mark Jorgenson at Woodhouse for this sort of stuff, but I hear he's moved to a new role? Who's the go-to these days for these sorts of things? Thanks!!

    Gen 5 brake bias?

    Thanks Mark! Do we know how much longer Dodge are taking orders on new builds? In the 1-of-1, would it be possible to get ACR suspension, wheels, and vented hood with TA 1.0 aero?

    Gen 5 brake bias?

    Hi folks, Wondering the experience folks have had altering the tire stagger in their Gen 5s. Their front:rear tire circumference difference is greater than that of the Gen 3s and 4s (where I have experience). In the Gen3/4s, the brake bias would go too far rearward if that circumference...

    Same ole rumor

    How much longer will they be taking orders for the 1-of-1 program?

    Tires/wheels for the 2013 Viper guesses

    From the looks of it, 19's in back with 345/30's and 18's in front with 295/30's. Basically same sizes as the ACR. Great choices SRT, as it'll allow people to get R-compound tires for their stock-sized wheels. Widths don't seem to be available yet but it'd be great if they found a way to...

    Tires/wheels for the 2013 Viper guesses

    Would like to see wider fronts, the 10", while decent, was a limiting factor to the car's capability.

    Any Gen4 owners interested in gunning for an SCCA National Championship in 2012?

    A buddy of mine is looking for a Gen4 Viper. Aero coupe preferably but others would work. He's also looking to sell and could use as partial trade, a 996 GT3 (black w/carbon brakes) and a 2011 Corvette Grand Sport w/ only 500 miles. If anybody knows of a good car for sale at a good price...

    Any Gen4 owners interested in gunning for an SCCA National Championship in 2012?

    Hi Al, Have to run 19's in Stock, so the 345 it is. Plus there's always first gear! Sounds like you need shorter shocks? If you're going to SSP (or SSM) then a change to a 3.33 or 3.42 rear end would be all you need. Jason

    Any Gen4 owners interested in gunning for an SCCA National Championship in 2012?

    Hi George, Sidewinders would be the perfect wheel choice. The only means of "adjusting" the diff is through the use of different fluids. I found a setup I was very happy with for that diff , since SRT came through and allowed the Gen4 diff in the Gen3 car in 2010 (part supcedence). Made a huge...

    Springs and ride height must remain stock, though the shocks can be changed. I happen to still have the killer shocks from my Viper, which would work fine on a Gen4. I did, and would continue to, run the 335/30-18 A6 up front. 345-19 A6 rear. Stock size wheels.

    Okay, it'd just be autocross, but this is an exciting opportunity. For 2012, the SCCA made an oversight, and allowed the Gen4 Viper (not ACR) into the "Super Stock" autocross class. This class consists of the Lotus Elise, C5 and C6 Corvettes, and the Porsche GT3. It's been won the last few...

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    Hi Steve, There really isn't much to the setup that hasn't already been posted. Because I run in Stock class, the modification allowances are rather limited. Alignment, front: Camber: max negative (around -2) Caster: max postive after setting camber (around 5.5) Toe: 1/16" out Rear...

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    Finished second in SS at the National Championships. A single mistake on the first day cost me the championship. The car was absolutely incredible - every aspect working together in flawless harmony. On index, my times were 13th out of 1200+ entrants. Here's a couple videos: Day 1: Day...

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    Loading up the trailer tomorrow for the 1600 mile haul to Lincoln, NE. Put a little ad together for the car. It will probably once again prove to be the fastest autocross Viper in the country! :) SCCAForums.com - Super Stock SRT-10 Viper for sale at Nats

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    Hmm, tires, shocks, swaybar, alignment, and now the diff all dialed in. Sounds like this car is ready to go! Leave for Nationals in about 4 weeks. After that, I would be willing to part with the car. It's been a great three years. If you're in the western half of the US and interested...
