    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    I do believe when Chris exited the car he proclaimed there is more left in it for a faster time. I do think Chris is an SCCA racer, but I do not know what his experience or time on Laguna Seca is versus midwest and east coast tracks. Has Randy Probst ever been timed in a Gen 4 ACR around...

    Great price on new Viper TA if anyone is interested

    An interesting side note to vehicles winning "races" and values. When Ray Hofman (known as Peak Completions on the forums) starting breaking all the records in the standing mile about 3 years ago, there was a direct correlation to the meteoric rise in Ford GT values. Even though his car was at...

    Possible 2015 Power Increase

    It is a good question on how a vehicle gets "re-certified".......my guess is Chrysler has its own certification lab in house. Once a product has passed certification, doing minor upgrades (like a minor computer program change) does not require a complete "start from zero" certification. I would...

    Oil Weight?

    Do not add any type of additives....more is not always better and can actually make the oil not perform as intended. Sometimes adding additives can make your oil foam up or leave deposits...neither of which is good. Your engine is not a flat tappet design....there is no metal to metal contact...

    P0456 Evap System Small Leak

    When I visited CAAP during the Homecoming event, I was surprised to see how the fuel filler system works on the Gen 5. The fuel filler hose entering the tank is literally only 1" in diameter. Also, the hose enters the tank at the bottom half, about 1" below the belt line. I would assume any...

    Wow, srt homecoming open to all past and present owners, not exclusive

    Now this makes more sense....honestly, I wasn't seeing why Chrysler was charging anything for the event. Hopefully a lot of Viper owners will get the word.

    next car purchase...

    Twister, You live on a rain maker, get AWD so you can enjoy the car anywhere, any time even during a rain storm. Since you don't really have a season to know it's not going to rain, why would you want something that is sketchy in a big down pour, especially when you know it will be sunny...

    Anyone calculate/know the Motion Ratio?

    The only thing I saw when looking at your question is some info from the Eibach worksheet.....that much math makes my brain hurt, lol. http://eibach.com/america/en/motorsport/products/suspension-worksheet

    NEW: SRT VIPER GEN 5 - GEN 4 RACE HEADERS BBG STYLE (Teaser Photos)

    Kris, Give Toddy a call, I was just at his shop for a project he is doing on my car and not only does he have the shorty headers available, his complete Ohlins shocks suspension kits are ready for your new Snake. If you haven't seen them, they really are a work of art and he has Gen 2, 3, 4...

    what weight oil is everyone running?

    Looks great!....I'll say a prayer to the Viper Gods to insure a drama free vehicle. IIRC, you bought a ZR1, did you keep it or let it go? George

    The Dirty Three

    I only see a Viper...... That thing looks so sinister in black it doesn't even look as if it would pass DOT regulations.

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    You ignorant poser....our customers were delayed in purchasing because it was a long, wet and frozen winter....they couldn't buy, manufacture, build, plant or sell because of the tougher than average winter shutting production and demand down. This will effect the GDP. Where do you come up with...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Mootblocker, I posted about the state of the economy for the last 30 years and you post Reagan era history from over 30 years ago......learn what decade you're dealing with when trying to make your point. Maybe the economy of the last 30 years hasn't worked out in your favor.....sorry. GM...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Your comprehension is the craps. I did not state that Chrysler had original plans to build 5000 Vipers (more like 2500)....I stated they could easily build 5000 on the production line they now have IMO. You went off on the robotic assembly tangent. Nobody discussed the Viper being an assembly...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Predictable again....you can't even answer a simple yes or no question. Your idea of a scale up in costs to build 11 Vipers per shift is laughable....you have no clue what the costs are to automate an assembly line to robotic vehicle assembly. You side step the economy issue...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Now I don't know if we should call you Mootblocker or Spinblocker...... Love the way you only answer parts of questions that you try to sort out in your mind. -Bad economy....you forgot about the Porsche part of the example. The reality is there is a lot of money out there and people are...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    MootBlocker, So when will you grace us with a video of your driving expertise? Simple question but you give no answer or proof you know dick of what you're talking. Hell, at this point I'd even concede if you showed you knew how to change a tire on a Viper. You're proving your ignorance of...

    Brake shudder caused by pad deposits on TA front rotors

    If the OEM pads are working well, do you think the most efficient set up might be to run the OEM pads and just change them out every two track events to make everything else last longer (rotors, etc) making them the sacrificial part in the system? You are driving much harder than the...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    You are 100% correct about your views and thoughts about PeerBlock. Nearly every argument he makes is a moot point.....what is the best selling Gen 5? The TA model which also happens to have the highest track performance/potential. Hmmm imagine that, the highest performance Viper is also the...

    Road & Track Article Z/28 vs.the World (Including Viper TA)

    Thanks and also to Zim for the input on Thermal. Better facilities than Spring Mountain would be pretty impressive....going to have to check it out when I get down there on vacation. But the buy-in price seems way high at this point. Hopefully they will offer some type of club introduction track...

    Road & Track Article Z/28 vs.the World (Including Viper TA)

    Thanks for the input....I had forgotten about Thermal until mentioned above. They wife wants to get a winter place in the Palm Springs area.....having two tracks in the area might make my life more interesting for me :D
