    Battery recommendation - Optima Interstate vs. Diehard Platinum

    Optima in my '08 in SoCal. However, it is the 3rd one! I cannot recall what color (red or yellow top). One had a broken post, one died, and the last is doing well. I also purchased a battery tender and extension which I will attach once I figure out how to access the battery and atttach the...

    Does the ACR need to break the 7:00 mark at the Ring?

    +1 Comparison to cars over $500k is fun but not really reasonable. In racing--and arguably any reference to the N-Ring is a reference to speed, handling and racing capabilities/capacity--$$$$$$ spent (in R&D and in Purchase Price) often equates to speed. A Gen V ACR should definitely have...

    SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!

    It is great to see some good news! Well done SRT. It looks like a tie now with the outgoing ZR1 wearing slightly better rubber. I view the TA as a place-holder for what I hope SRT develops with the ACR. I also liked the Carbon Fiber bits on the car and the brakes. There were probably some...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    First, a well-equiped Z06 is available for significantly below $100k. Second, while SRT has accomplished alot, it still has a lot of work to do to stay at or near the top in perrmance. There is a new ZR1 and Z06 on the way which will no doubt be superior to the old cars. Most Viper buyers DO...

    ACR in Motor Trend

    This is a major issue. Dodge/SRT/Fiat must figure out this R&D/Budget issue quickly. Do they want a "Halo" car or not? While it is easy to sympathize with issues presented by a small volume/limited demand/price-constrained product, from the consumer standpoint the consumer is looking for...

    2014 ACR to be Performance Limited by Fiat

    This will be settled when the Viper Coupe, Vert and ACR are all putting out 700 factory hp at a value price and in a position to put a smackdown on the Vettes, P-Cars and others... . I would also prefer to see better cockpit ergonomics--not just good leather and gadgets. Routing the exhaust to...

    ACR in Motor Trend

    +1 My 2008 SRT Coupe (GTS Blue/Silver Metallic Stripes/Gray-Black Interior with Carbon Fiber bits/HRE P40s in Brushed Chrome) looks mean and gets people hanging out of their cars to take photos all the time--and I am in Southern California where every type of vehicle is on the road. The...

    Chevy ups the Ante.

    "The conspriracy theory is somewhat laughable if you had a chance to chat with some of the guys at SRT ( not trying to insult you, just stating why you need to actually talk to some at Chrysler ). There is not one shred of concern there, since Europeans view the Viper in a different light than...

    2008 ACR starter drags - is this normal

    I am on my 2nd Optima Battery with my 2008 and I have the same issue. My car is driven 1-2 times per week. I just purchased a B & D Battery Tender. Hopefully this handles the issue.

    CarAndDriver - Gen 5 vs Gen 2 Viper

    Very nice video. Beautiful Gen II. Unfortunately, this Video highlights the problem with Gen V: too much like Gen II and not enough forward-looking advances. For Gen II owners looking to move up it is great. Hopefully all Gen II owners and other Viper and non-Viper owners decide to purchase...

    What would you like to see in the ACR?

    The new ACR must be a livable/comfortable street car and not just a track monster. Most Gen IV ACRs are probably used on the street much more than on the track. Anything over about $125k well equipped (out the door before taxes) will face market resistance just as the GTS will after the...

    Edmunds: 2013 SRT Viper vs. 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Comparison Test

    3rd Test: same result ... . The Lap times are undoubtedly closer because Streets of Willow is a very tight track--not really a good track to test big, high-hp. cars. The "Big Willow" Track next door to Streets is much better. As many have mentioned, the Vette and Viper push each other to...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    I had a C6 Z06 with headers, intake and tuning and it was fast and bullet proof. My Gen IV Viper Coupe handles better though and is also more heavy-duty. My Vette did not have the Magnetic Ride.

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Well said: Castrol SRF, SS Lines and reasonable pads. CCB not needed. The facts are that SRT had the chance to properly benchmark the competition, come out with a NEW car and be KOTH. Under any analysis (even with different tires and braking and a tie in the test), the Gen V has not hit its...

    Automobile Magazine review

    My Gen GTS Blue/Silver Stripes IV Coupe has Black and Grey Interior and I put the faux carbon fiber dash kit in and it looks great. I also added the shorter shifter so it does not look like a baseball bat. A 700hp engine and a meaner exterior would have been welcome changes; a lexus interior...

    Used market flood

    There will be more earlier Gens on the market for sure. I expect mostly Gen III and Gen IV. However, the cost of stepping up is steep indeed: $50,000-$75,000 just for Gen IV owners; MUCH more for Gen I, II,and III. In CA we definitely must pay sales tax on the entire price. Heck, in CA they...
