    08 ACR Exhaust Recommendations After No-Go on Hennesey Unit

    For '08, Corsa Track and STOCK CATS is the way to go. 200% better sound than stock, little or no "drone" and spirited but NOT overly loud sound. Again, I highly recommend NOT changing the CATS!

    ACR 7.22 at the Ring.

    I believe GM replaced that engine, largely because it was stock. If you want keep the warranty on your snake, then you should really avoid computer tuning. My '08 will stay stock for that reason.

    Congrats--looks like you have traded up twice now!

    Aug C&D: ACR vs. Z06 vs. GT2 vs. GT-R = ???

    We could not have had a better test numbers-wise. The ACR crushed the others so badly on the track that they really should have used a 2008 Coupe instead--still would have won. :shark: Nissan was exposed for the real car that it is! :lmao: The track version at > $100k will be better.

    Did you regret putting a Paxton on your SRT? Help!

    Are you talking about a Turbo Murcielago? Interesting someone would do that to that car! The fact that the '08 Vipers have a higher compression ratio probably does not help for supercharging. Are you supercharged guys and gals getting: 1. Any supercharger lag? 2. Any supercharger...

    Car & Driver does it again.......

    They should have tested the SRT Coupe instead of the ACR. I think it would also have spanked the crowd, albeit with a bit slower lap time due to grip and downforce deficits to the ACR.

    royal purple eng oil in 08?

    Again, if you are changing your oil every 3k mi. or so, this is all largely irrelevant. There is really no reason to use Amsoil or RP, etc. as all are more expensive and will not give your motor any appreciable benefits beyond Mobil 1. If you are just bored, then maybe this makes sense...

    royal purple eng oil in 08?

    While RP might outperform Mobile 1 in some tests, it is not important to me because: 1. I change the oil and filter often; 2. Mobile 1 is recommended by Dodge for the Viper; and 3. Royal Purple is quite a bit more expensive. So, I doubt you will have any meaningful effects, except...

    Reason for Blank Dash Dial in '08?

    Thanks for the information!

    Parts Rack

    While each situation is of course different, I will say that Jon B. has done an excellent job getting me great gear at a great price and with great service. So far this includes exhaust, 6-points, brake lines, shifter, carbon fiber dash and other assorted stuff. Even when complications arose...

    Reason for Blank Dash Dial in '08?

    It appears that the dash dial to the far left of our instrument cluster is blank on my 2008. Any reason for this? Is it a placeholder for a boost gauge?

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    I too cannot really tell if the car has 600+ hp. My car has 880 mi. on it and I am in warm SoCal. The car definitely moves but hard to say exactly what the power is (I came from a 575hp C6 Z06 that was also very fast). When I roll heavy into the throttle on a good surface when it is...

    Race of a life time : Two Enzo took me in Sandwich !

    UNDERSTOOD! I was just looking for clarification to understand the 33% faster issue. In my HPDE track experience, driver alone can make that much of a difference. Also, while the Enzo is a bit lighter, it does not have comparable torque with the '08 Viper. This can make a difference...

    Race of a life time : Two Enzo took me in Sandwich !

    Again, were you in a 2008? 2008 should hang very well with comparable drivers. No possible way they were 33% faster than a 2008 with comparable tires and drivers. Drivers make a huge difference. Maybe the cars were actually Nissan GT-Rs--that would explain their extreme speed vs. your...

    Race of a life time : Two Enzo took me in Sandwich !

    What year is your Viper? I REALLY doubt it is a 2008.

    Does the K&N intake actually do anything?

    Sources tell me that an air filter change in a 2008 is worth 6hp. For reduced filtration and non-OEM issues, I will probably pass, but I am interested in any verfied gains others have experienced.

    RB1 Upgrade

    Exactly the setup I have and I love it! I added the carbon fiber look dash from Jon B. at partsrack and it looks great and looks factory. I also swapped out the door speakers for the direct drop in Polks others on the forum have added. FYI, RB1 DOES have POIs, scan (artist, genre, etc.)...

    A Note on Belanger Headers & 2008 Vipers

    Well, I am a lawyer and unfortunately you are wrong about literally everything you said--other than the fact that probably all of us would gladly pay a little extra for forged pistons, etc. to make our motors stronger. It is unrealistic for manufacturers to design-in tolerances and cover under...

    New Windshield +clear film ?

    My Venture Shield installation expert also does the install of the windshield protection as well. It is thicker than tint of course. Well, I told him to go ahead and try the install on my '08 windshield. He tried for and hour and could not get the material to stick to the curvy glass with an...

    '08 Street/Track Alignment

    Does anyone have a list of specs for a Street/Track alignment for the '08s that I could take to my local shop? This would be an alignment I could use on street tires at a HPDE that would be superior to stock BUT which would also not chew my tires up on the street. My car will be used 95% on...

    Installation of Team Tech 6-Points in '08 Coupe

    Red/Tan: Thanks for the info--exactly what I expected. I live by the beach in Huntington and work in Newport. When I went to the Dealer to pick up my car the only things the dealer did were to swap out my stereo head unit for the OEM RB1, add iPod adaptor, put polks in the doors (drop...

    iPod Adapter in '08 Successfully!!

    FYI, my iPod is the 30 GB iPod "Classic" model with a 2.5" video screen. I have 1600 or so songs on it. It is about 2 years old. I have no idea what software it runs. It plays songs--this is all I know! With Dan's adapter, many, many iPod functions are available using the RB1 head unit...

    Installation of Team Tech 6-Points in '08 Coupe

    Agreed--BUT too late on this one. For heavy lifting I will go to DC,but this requires a trip to LA during the week, leaving the car there, driving home, and then back again. This is simply not practical for most things. The Dealer and Tech are great BUT clearly knew nothing about the...
