    Invited to an indoor Mall show

    How cool would it have been to rev out the car while in front of Victoria's Secret and blow a bunch of thongs off the hangers?? Car looks awesome!! Cheers, George

    Tire Pressure & Handling

    Most important sentence in this whole tread: "On the street, I don't give any thought to tire pressure because you can't push the car to any point that it will even matter." On the street I start at cold pressures of 27 psi front and rear (stock Michelin's) and I run my aggressive track...

    "---" off-road PCM

    Jack, you've got to ask yourself this.....the Gen 4 guys have had no real tuning options since 2008....7 years with no help from either Chrysler or the aftermarket. (and by tuning option, I do not mean using a stand alone unit like Motec or Pectel or the anemic Mopar PCM). But, as soon as the...

    Rebate on ge 5 coming this week

    I would think a HUD would be awesome on a Viper for track day events.....it would be nice to have the rpm graph light up at shift points and warning lights that go off if coolant temps, oil temps or oil pressure are outside the customer programmed parameters. The gauge design on the Gen 3/4...

    Has anyone else ordered the BC coilovers from Will at RSI in the past 6 months?

    Yeah, but the BC shocks come with rear forks that can be used as a receiver hitch when moving a farm trailer......

    Rebate on ge 5 coming this week

    Peter, If you still want a Gen 5, find the one you want at any location in the USA and have it shipped you. The best "dealer" for service for your Viper is in Rio Vista, about an hour from you. They are a small family owned business where one of the owners runs the service side. They are car...

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    My quote above is exactly correct when regarding the C7 Z06. The fender lips with tie ins to the front splitter, the vents on the rear fenders, the adjustable rear spoiler/wicker bill, etc....have you ever seen any other mainstream car made with this many obvious functional aero devices on a...

    Who the hell knows what the numbers are?....and really, down force numbers do not mean squat if the car is slower around a track. My point is this, aero is not just a giant wing that creates downforce (and a tremendous amount of drag). It has to work with the rest of the car. Next to a large...

    Keep the C7 Stingray or back to a Viper?

    Gen 5.....no comparison. You just can't beat the looks of the Viper.

    Peter, I do not defend the Corvette. I do not defend the Viper. I defend the Laws of Physics. When things are said that defy the basic laws of a high school physics class, I speak up. I have yet to meet anybody that has been able to defy the laws of physics. I did read through some of...

    Just so I can fully understand your logic Professor Physics......So you're claiming: 1. A vent that releases high pressure from under the hood cannot allow heat to escape. 2. A heat extraction vent cannot also vent high pressure from under the hood. Ok, got it. If this is correct...

    Holy C7 stalker, Batman!! :omg:.......:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao: No wonder the Germans lost WWII.....what a bunch of retards. Look at how they screwed up the aerodynamics on this race car.....wide fender lips over the tires and not even a flat hubcap or turbine...

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    You may be right about the car having "at least 625 hp".....you might be right that the car might have heat soak issues with the supercharger. But, you really have no concept of aerodymanics and why those fender lip extensions with tie in to the front splitter work. You can no concept of the...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    You can thank overweight and luxury demanding Americans for Porsche getting bigger, heavier and more of a "muscle car" than the nimble, lightweight sports cars of the past.....funny how that worked out. Still, Porsche does an incredible engineering feat to keep the cars very fast, but at a very...

    What a great article and piece of automotive history....thanks for posting. That Tempest made Jay Leno's jaw look aerodynamic, lol.

    Heck, my wifes supercharged 5.0 Range Rover can touch 600 crank h.p. with a pulley, tune and cat back exhaust.....and that's from 5 liters, lol. You have a pm. Cheers, George

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    If we take out the status symbol of the cars make/manufacturer and go strictly by performance, I think you're right, the C7 Z06 will be the top dog, even at the strip. "I am actually pleased that it runs the same times as a 997 TS stock(10.70/80s).I mean how much faster can a new car go with...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    Ferrari, Maserati and Fiat have tuning available for them. Every manufacturer has issues with recalls and faulty equipment. At this point, I think I'd rather have an airbag that does not go off versus a window stuck in the down position (Gen 3/4 Viper issue). Driving the car back from the VOI...

    Legal advice/tips regarding failed 06 FE purchase?

    If that is harboring, I'd hate to see how they'd treat them if they hated them......98% over there show no love for RSI or Vipair. The Alley has actually helped both domestic and foreign Viper owners get their parts/money from crooked people. I'm betting this issue can be handled by weeks...

    Legal advice/tips regarding failed 06 FE purchase?

    No legal advice, but here are two thoughts for you. 1. Carfax should never, ever be used as a final decision. If I crash my car into a tree tonight, take it to a Russian chop shop, pay them cash to "repair" it, it is not going to show up anywhere on paperwork. No police report, no insurance...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    You are partially correct Bob....let them take a spirited drive on a race track. Then put their butts in the passenger seat and let a pro drive them around at full speed. That is what sells cars and opens eyes. The average car buyer has no idea what the Gen 5 is capable of on the track. It...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    Here are a couple of facts I've come to realize about the Ford GT. Values really started to jump when Ray Hofman (RIP) started modding the hell out of his units and running them in the mile, breaking records in Texas, etc. This brought worldwide focus on the car. From the outside, the average...
