    Stunning job

    To those who predict skies falling on Viper on account of upcoming Z06

    If it comes out at around or just over $100k it'll need to be good.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    The Gen V is better looking than the 97 GTS IMHO, apart from that silly gaping front - which only works when the rest of the car is black.. If they fixed that (even painting the cross hairs in the same color as the car would be a massive improvement and cost next to nothing) then you'd have a...

    Custome Gen4/5 S/S Header Build

    Great to see someone doing it right. That's how a header should be done on these cars, nice work!

    Who has put headers on their car?

    There's some real headers right there, done right! Love the modular concept. Nice work.

    Keep the C7 Stingray or back to a Viper?

    LOL, that's cool. I find it ironic you call the C63 507 a beast after trading in a ZR1 which has less weight and another 130hp! Don't get me wrong, I won't be selling either of my AMGs for a Vette, but I'm surprised the ZR1 got boring. My wife competes for the keys to the C63 coupe since I...

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    The Scat Pack was a name from back in the days of innocence when gay meant happy, being blown meant supercharged, and it was ok for guys to walk around eating a banana. In 2014, I'm not certain calling an option list a Scat pack is a great idea.

    Keep the C7 Stingray or back to a Viper?

    Based on what you have said how you feel you have to surely buy a Gen V. I'd really like to see one, as far as I know there are none here (in NZ) yet. I have seen a couple of C7's and I love them, they're an awesome looking car and they sound fantastic, though I'm biased as I have a...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    A 4L60e robs 19% power vs 12% on a T56, on an LS car that's 40-50rwhp difference typically for a modded one. Hard to imagine a beefier 8 speed requiring less. Also the weight of the 8sp auto while lighter than a 6L80 will be a good 50lb north of a T6060.

    Observations while Twin Turbocharging a 2014 SRT GTS

    Fantastic project. I would have gone rear mount as I love the ability to run free flowing plumbing both in and out. I have a 2013 rear mount LS3 and it works brilliantly, 300rwhp by 2600rpm with an auto, peaks at only 640 (fwhp) due to small turbo, but upgrade coming to 800hp on auto without...

    Twin Turbo kit for your Gen V

    Yep, over time $100k goes nowhere on these cars when pushing 4 digits, there's always something, and people have spent a lot more than that and still had crap. The good thing is the factory built a tough base car, the aftermarket is a long way behind in quality control and things go wrong and...

    Twin Turbo kit for your Gen V

    You might want to review the Precision idea, they use cheap Chinese turbos that look pretty and there are scrap yards full of them, ask around at Yellowbullet forum and the LS community. I'd pay 3k more to get a decent turbo like a Borg Warner AFR that has OEM quality and should last years...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    I'm not privy to the law on this or whether there may even be a concession available for a low production run. However adding a fuel heating bypass under part load will clean up emissions significantly (on a 5 gas analyzer I've seen zero readings doing this on an SRT10 Ram - obviously not zero...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    I agree. Many race cars still dominate at the track on steel rotors. The best way to cure yourself of this carbon ceramic brake obsession is to wear a set out and have to replace them. The latest new thing in brakes is silicon alloy like the P1. Ceramic brakes are lighter than steel and...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    It is that easy to make that power increase, ask any Viper tuner here. The reason they have not will be political. I'd be amazed if SRT have not privately seen 700hp on a development engine long ago. Long tube headers, higher flow cats and exhaust, cam, retune, done. All that is not difficult...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    No new motor needed. Adding 40-60hp to the V10 could be done off the top of any SRT techs head and in less than a days work, including tuning. 800hp is already available to them for drag racing. The real budget would be in fine tuning for production, but no biggie. It might cost more in gas...

    Twin Turbo kit for your Gen V

    I'm not an expert on this either but as long as you still ran cats and the engine was otherwise stock it should not be unsurmountable to pass a plug test. Adding turbos won't hurt emissions at part throttle, only when boost comes in and they need more fuel. Also adding water injection can...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    The C7 ZO6 will be traction limited based upon wheel size and tire profiles. Good luck laying down a 10.5 1/4 on thin walled 20" tires. Track and strip times would improve when car OEM's lose this silly Hot Wheels obsession with bigger and bigger brakes and wheels. Look at the race C7.R and...

    Twin Turbo kit for your Gen V

    Great idea. A lifetime warranty is brave however as even "good" components eventually wear out or go south after a few years (and as you know some famous brands don't last 2 years). If you expect to still be around in support when that happens, you may want to cap your liability so you make...

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    Need it be said that comparing shift times between a Porsche Cup car and a TR6060 is a little funny don't you think? The stick shift Porsche cars can be shifted like lightning, so PDK wouldn't offer the same edge, but against a TR6060 a PDK would be worth measurable gains around a big track...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    IMHO CCBs are a bad idea for regular street cars. Their superiority in performance over an equivalent metal brake is marginal but their cost to replace is astronomically higher and way out of proportion to their advantages. And boy do they wear out when driven hard over a sustained period...

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    I'd love to see SRT put an ACR together that beats the GTR Nismo, that is do-able. What is not doable is to aim to reset the production car record. The 918 has set the benchmark way beyond what a rwd Viper will ever do in street legal form and the 918 has been "allegedly" thrashed by the new...

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    Just as it is with a lightning shift trans to match a GTR, the G5 would shave seconds off the "Ring" lap times and make it a genuine 10 second car off the showroom floor. The other things like more power and tuning are all available in the aftermarket.

    New Viper teased?

    Your thinking about being green and fast is dinosaur cave man stuff. It's not about what you can afford but being ****ing responsible given your children might see the end of oil, if not theirs will, don't be so selfish. Emissions and mpg do matter today. You sound like a young person. In...

    New Viper teased?

    You need to get out more. LS7's had quality control issues on a minority of engines but the good ones give no trouble, and the hand built race ones have been dyno'd for 300 hours under hard out track simulations - try that in your supercharged heat soaked Ford. It's not DOHC that gives Ford an...
