    What are you expecting to see tonight in the "teaser" pic?

    Volado is by far the best design I have seen and the only one I would consider so far-for the right price!

    Yes, at least 50-100 of them will sell at that price! Too many other cars available at that price (new and used). The Viper is a (magnificient) toy, but a toy none the less. $135k (even for the ACR) will chase many buyers away--even those who can afford it.

    Gen 5 Viper

    Got it Malu! My Gen IV is not an "aero coupe."

    Gen 5 Viper

    Thanks Shooter! The figure on the Coupe is really quite amazing--60% of the downforce of the ACR. This has not been my observation at HPDE events. The ACR appears to have "night and day" different road-holding ability from the Coupe--for instance on high-speed banked oval turns and...

    Don't want a carbon fiber frame: cost to repair, etc. would be astronomical. Maybe aluminium? Carbon fiber bits elsewhere would be fine. Anything over $100k should have 700hp +, and given the hp/trq of competitors, the price should still not exceed $100k by much for an ACR. Now, if...

    Gen 5 Viper

    Couple points: 1. The Gen V should have been introduced at Detroit, where the home and heart of the Viper are located. This cloak and dagger stuff is getting a bit old... . 2. The ACR produces downforce at speed. I believe the coupe has "reduced lift" and not downforce. If someone has...

    a little birdie says......

    No chance that will be the price. If it is, the car becomes a diseconomic proposition. Used Gallardos (even with supercharging or twin turbos), used Ferraris, Ford GTs and others become the competition. The next ZRI Vette will then undercut the Viper by $10-15k for comparable performance...

    Gen 5 Viper

    I would like the Coupe and the ACR to produce downforce without wings, etc. Ferrari seems to do ok... .

    Revealing Gen V at a Charity Event Next Month!

    This big "suspense" is really losing its luster... .

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    I agree: to be fair, let's have the next VOI in Maine or Canada! After those 5 owners have a great time, then the next VOI can be in a different area where more owners can attend!

    Real Front of 2013 Viper - See photo

    Extremely hard to believe that the Gen V will look as good as this Volado design; Volado is smoking!

    Swapping Wheels and Wheel Stuck on Hub--How to Remove?

    No corrosion on the HRE P40 Monoblocks--solid aluminum. The axle hub was a bit rusted, as were some other bolts, etc. While it may not be optimal, I used WD 40 on all affected parts, and then sprayed on silicone to help keep things lubricated. I did not have any grease, etc. When I...

    C6 Z06s

    A Stock Gen IV Viper is faster than a C6Z with headers, intake and tune; I owned both cars. Viper also handles better. I like Vettes, but not as much as my current Viper.

    Yes! HRE P40s 19/20 and ACR rotors.

    Swapping Wheels and Wheel Stuck on Hub--How to Remove?

    I thought I would check with the experts! My '08 has 2 sets of wheels and tires and I am swapping now to break in some other tires. Using just a racing jack I am going one corner at a time. I started on the Driver's front and once I had removed all lugs with the wheel slightly lifted off...

    Possibly trading Viper. need porsche opinions

    GT3 RS is well over $140k. New GT3 500hp is $185k+. Shows what a bargain our snakes are!

    Blew up a half-shaft. Any suggestions?

    I would always start by contacting JON B. at partsrack to check on the type of part you need for your applicaiton and the best deal.

    Do you regret buying a Borla exhaust rather than a Corsa exhaust?

    On my '08 coupe, stock sounded like a vacuum machine or something. I tried high-flow metal cats and corsas and it was a disaster! Like no exhaust at all. The police followed me immediately. Then I switched to corsas and stock cats and it was a 100% better than stock with no drone. NOTE...

    Next viper interior

    My GTS Blue Coupe has the gray/black interior. I added the carbon fiber look console/dash piece from JonB and it actually looks great. I would not mind softer door elbow areas and some nicer materials, but it really is not bad for this type of serious sports car.

    How do you keep the wheelwell liners clean?

    +1, except to spray it with a hose. WOW, here I thought I was doing a good job washing and waxing and now I seek how much more thorough some are! I never pull the wheels for a wash, although I use a long brush to get the barrels clean. Excellent advice on this thread.

    New Corvette will Have a 3 liter 10,000 RPM Turbo

    No way. 3L Turbo V8 will be received like a lead balloon by the Corvette faithful (unless it pushes 700hp). The article just does not seem accurate.

    Gen 4 track issue with panel

    I lost this rectangle as well and have no idea when! It has since been replaced.

    I'm seriously getting sick of Vipers being looked down on. Sick of it.

    Sorry for any negative experience you may have encountered. I am in Newport Beach (work) and Huntington Beach (home) near the SoCal coast all the time. You would be hard-pressed to find an area with more Ferraris, Lambos, Veyrons, Audi R8s, FGTs and anything else you can think of. That...
