    +1 You might also want to go to a high-temp. Brake Fluid to address the fade issue--Castrol SRF, Motul, etc.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    +1 My Gen IV was my first viper and the first viper for which I liked the looks and performance. Have you [peerblock] ever heard the reference to earlier vipers as a "Clown Shoe"? (See Ronald MacDonald's shoes). I have never before heard anyone refer to the Gen IV Viper as resembling a...

    Awesome photos of the 700hp 2014 ACR! :usa: What do ALMS and LeMans do to handicap the Viper Motor? Air and Fuel restrictors? Weight? Limitation of HP to ??? Thanks!

    Paint Protection Film Recommendations and Prices

    +1 Venture Shield is good. I have a 2008 GTS Blue Coupe, a carbon black BMW and Gunmetal Mercedes and all of them have Ventureshieild with no problems. Note: these colors would not show any yellowing since they are not white, etc. The price for the pre-cut kit installed by a good installer...

    My Amazing Gen 5 Viper Adventure!

    Great information! When you get a chance it would be great to have you compare and contrast the SRT factory and build process with the Ferrari and Lambo factories and build processes. There is a show called "Ultimate Factories" or something like that which gives you video tour which I find...

    New Viper with headers and 3" cat back exhaust

    Crazy result--dodge needs new attorneys. For example, if the Mopar part is defective (e.g., non-functioning when installed or broken by the Dealer during the install), then the Dealer or Dodge should pay all parts and labor required to fix the matter. The Federal Warranty Act...

    Gen 4 intake manifold removal

    When the dealer installed an Arrow-ported intake on my '08 Coupe I asked if there was any oil in the intake and the Viper tech said "not a drop". I guess I just need to drive harder!

    Anyone want to buy a Gen V from a dealership that still calls it a Dodge?

    AMG = Mercedes M = BMW SRT = Dodge/Chrysler regardless of what anything indicates. To change this Dodge/Chrysler/SRT would need to sell the SRT assets to a separate, unaffiliated company. The final product is what is important; cannot wait for the 700hp, $115k (well-optioned/equipped) Gen V ACR.

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    2014 Porsche GT3 will be much more than $130k--$140k once realistic options are added.

    New Video about Stryker Red

    So, $14,000 - $1,000 for paint = $13,000 /8 hours = $1,625 per hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an attorney and this shocks even me!!!!!! I suspect that repairing Stryker Red after a mini van hits the car from behind because the driver was texting will be very difficult. If the repair is not...

    11.1@ 127 Pretty strong!

    I am aware of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Act and I did not miss any points. Mod away if you like. I have modded to replace entire engines in the past (a C5R aluminum Block 427 added to a C5 Z06 for example) and do not care to do so in the future. Maintenance, etc. is less accesable, etc. I...

    11.1@ 127 Pretty strong!

    "Part of the problem is inter generational guilt and conflict. Some members are very loyal to, and have strong feelings for, the generation of Viper that they own. These same owners are less likely to care about costly interiors and other non performance related improvements and may not...

    11.1@ 127 Pretty strong!

    The ETA is not really the biggest issue; the lower than expected mph is the issue. Many of us hoped to see the Gen V in the low 130s for mph--at least before we saw the specs of the Gen V. It was great that Dodge--I mean SRT--allowed a car to go to the strip, and it certainly looks like the...

    Track wheels/tires wanted

    I have very good condition Factory 18/19 Razor wheels, sensors, center caps and 500mi. Michelin Pilot Sport tires. I took these off at about 8k mi. I think when I added my 19/20 HREs. I have photos, etc. I have been saving these for HPDE days but have only done 2 in 5 years, only 1 day of...

    Viper GTS-R qualifies 1st and 3rd in Long Beach

    I think it is more than just the BMW engine exception. For the BMWs to move through the field the way they did, they have a flatout advantage. This is usually addressed by the series making the (unfairly) faster cars run extra weight, restrictive restrictor plates, etc. Nevertheless, a great...

    Viper GTS-R qualifies 1st and 3rd in Long Beach

    Since the cat [snake] is out of the bag, I was there, and the Viper did very well considering they are very new to the ALMS party. I believe that #93 was pushed from behind to spin--the red 458 Ferrary I think. #91 was leading deep into the race until the Factory BMW Z4 ran it down and then...

    The new name just revealed for ALMS and Grand AM merger.

    I am still trying to get over the fact that NASCAR is all over the TV and cable, and sportscar racing in the US has been to a substantial extent booted to the internet. :(

    ACR Stoptech Rotor Hat Maintenance

    Yes, I have the Black Hat ACR-style rotors on my 2008 Coupe. I do not think anything spilled on them, so it is odd.

    ACR Stoptech Rotor Hat Maintenance

    For those of you with ACR Stoptech Rotors (slotted with Black Hats), have you done anyting to maintain the Black Rotor Hats? I noticed that each of mine have some splash marks, etc. or at least are not uniform in appearance, although I have not tried to clean them yet. I have never placed...

    Viper racing at PBIR YESTERDAY

    A Gen V on stock tires in the 1/4 mi. should be 132+ mph for any significant change from Gen IV (other than the Gen II looks and fine Corinthinian leather of course!). Maybe the Gen V car that ran was underpowered for some reason?
