    APR GT500 wing - decklid reinforcement required?

    Anyone know if the APR 74" wing requires any decklid reinforcement? I know the ACR wing does, but it's also providing probably 3-4 times more downforce, the ACR wing provides approximately double the downforce of the APR GTC-500 74" wing.

    TA spoiler from Shelby Engineering

    I'm trying to decide on buying the TA 1.0 spoiler from Doug Shelby Engineering, or an APR wing. The APR wing looks great, but I just can't decide, I kind of rather keep the car a bit more low-key and it's not going to see track time, just Texas highway time. Anyone bought the DSE TA 1.0 spoiler...

    Texas Emissions test

    Is your car showing a CEL? If it's not, you should be fine. The only emissions test is they hook up an OBD II cable and check for any codes, no codes, no problem.

    Texas Emissions test

    I just got my car inspected today, lived in Austin for 17 years, never once had an emissions test performed. *edit* I should say it's never once had a tailpipe test, they always hook up the OBD II reader. and if you threw a code that's gonna be an issue. I used to know a guy that would pass it...

    Purchasing a 2013 GTS, first Viper

    Greetings, all. I'm in the purchasing phase just getting ready to transfer the money on a 2013 Viper GTS. I've wanted a Viper since I was a teenager, and I have the opportunity to get one now, so I'm pulling the trigger. I have not driven a Viper, but I've had a manual sportscar for most of the...

    Advice: Looking for a Gen III/IV, question about higher mileage

    Thanks for the feedback guys, seems like I need not worry much about the mileage on a Viper as long as it has been well looked after with good records, and passes a mechanical inspection.

    E85 on a Gen IV??

    It's.... entertaining, but it was more fun when I was 30 than it is now that I'm 40. Looking to sell it and get a Viper finally.

    E85 on a Gen IV??

    I don't know about Viper engines and E85, but I know you can advance the timing a bit with the higher octane of E85. I have an SRT-4 tuned for E85 that puts down ~475hp at the front, that's a combination of being able to run more boost as well as advance the timing a good amount because of the...

    Advice: Looking for a Gen III/IV, question about higher mileage

    Gents, I've decided now, in my 40th year, I will just bite the bullet and get myself a Viper finally. I'm specifically looking for a 2006+ coupe, looking to pay $35-55k depending on the year and mileage. If I get a 2006 I'd likely want to do the h/c/e and throw on some KW coilovers, 2008+ I'd...

    7 min Hi Res video of 2013 Viper GTS running on the street. Ignition sounds at 4:00

    Re: 7 min Hi Res video of 2013 Viper GTS running on the street. Ignition sounds at 4: Come on, really? +40hp/+40tq and -100lbs, with a 50% stiffer chassis, this car will feel very different from the Gen IV. The Gen IV was such a phenominal car, fastest production car in the world, and...

    new Viper gets a mention on Top Gear

    I don't recall them ever testing the 4th Gen Viper at all, and I've looked, searched, waited, wished for a long time that they would dare test the king of the 'Ring, but afaik they never did.

    800HP V10 crate engine, 650HP bolt-on kit for Gen III's, announced today

    That's not surprising, it's a drag application only piece. Not usable on the street anyways, it lacks accessories and has a 12.5:1 compression ration, it's for pro drag racing teams, and they'll be buying it.

    800HP V10 crate engine, 650HP bolt-on kit for Gen III's, announced today

    This seriously makes me want to buy a Gen III way more now. If it maintains the Gen III's low-end torque, and makes more power than the Gen IV stock motor, combined with the mechanical throttle, I think I'd love the Gen III 650HP setup more than a Gen IV with a full exhaust at the same power levels.
