    Cylinder heads spark plug holes tapered or not?

    This quote and Allen (above) are WRONG!!! Dan is correct. Gen IV (and V) use tapered. If you have a GenI-III, make sure your heads haven't been worked on...The OEM plug for Gen IV is Champion RE10PMC5 Single Platinum Spark Plug. The NGK replacement is NGK 3381 LZTR5AGP Single Platinum Spark...

    Old Men Seem to Own Vipers, Why???

    Just shut up and come out to High Plains and see if you can beat the 'old man' around the track! If not, you have something to talk about...how to drive a Viper. ;)

    Transmission is difficult to shift! Please help

    If you have a bad mount, you should be able to tell by looking at it. Make sure the mounting bolts are all torqued properly. If you double clutch does it shift easier?

    New Viper teased?

    Ok, so SRT maybe kinda overstated the 'historical opportunity' a bit....LOL

    No. 91 Rush SRT Viper GTS-R

    SRT has paired up with the movie "RUSH" for the VIR race this weekend, and you will notice the name on the 91 car. The movie, btw, is awesome and even my wife (who is not much of a motorsports fan) loved it. Sure, it had a lot to do with the actors instead of the cars, but there was a lot of...

    Jalopnik... Why Is No One Buying The SRT Viper?

    IMO, SRT needs to build a 'halo' version of the Viper to put butts in the showroom. How many guys go looking for GT2's & 3's, and end up buying a C4? LOTS.

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    ^^totally agree. Those cars may have some techno tricks, but there is nothing 'faux' about them. All great cars that are setting the bar high for SRT.

    Question about straight pipe NO muffler cat back on Gen 4?

    Just leave them unplugged and wrap the plug with insulation and tie it out of the way.

    Question about straight pipe NO muffler cat back on Gen 4?

    I have the Belanger race exhaust and can't even stand to drive an hour without windows up or ear plugs in. It's not so bad for short bursts at the track. Everyone says (and I Agree) it's the best sounding Viper they've ever heard at WOT. Good choice. Leave the rear O2 sensors unplugged bcz...

    HPR track days in September

    Sounds fun. Spring for a carport next time! Your Viper deserves it!

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    ^^I think you guys miss the point...make the ACR more like a race car than the street car. The TA satisfies the street car occasional track day niche. The ACR should be 'radical' like Ralph has been quoted as saying. Make the ACR a true 'street legal race car.' (Think "F40") There is nothing...

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    Doesn't the X-brace made it impossible to add a blower?

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    It seems to me there are two options already to satisfy the core customers, the base SRT, and the TA. Why would they complain about a higher priced ACR?? I don't think you can have low tech heavy V10 and win this track war. Call me a skeptic I guess but I just don't see a couple hundred pounds...

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    The new GT3-R is $450k. That's twice the cost of the Comp Cpe and almost 4 times the ACR-X. Speed costs money. Is $200k really out if the question for a world beating ACR? People are keeping the Viper down with low pricing demands! Putting a wing and CC brakes on the Gen V isn't going to make...

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    Incremental improvements work for cars with strong customer bases, but I am not sure the Viper has that base anymore. It needs to blow away the competition again. I think Ralph and SRT can do it. Just my 2c.

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    ^^I have a suspicion the zr1 will be released before the ACR, so if you are the type to jump the gun, you might be sorry you didn't wait! Ralph says the new ACR will be 'radical' so I don't expect just an aero upgrade. I am hoping that I don't have to dump $50k in upgrades to make it what I...

    Congrats SRT for a great race at COTA!

    ANOTHER GREAT SHOWING BY TEAM SRT, with the 93 of Bomarito and Witmer coming in second place! Great push from Bomarito at the start of the race to get the SRT in contention! Decent showing by 91 too, which finished in 5th. :2tu:

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    I think SRT's R&D team is called Riley Motorsports and they have the know-how, they just need to overcome the perception that this car needs to be within the avg Viper enthusiast's current budget and build something with a higher performance level without regard to cost. I know it will still be...

    Looks like the next Vette Hi Po Z07? Will have a twin Turbo?

    Of course the Vette is in the performance race but until now, GM has always built 'junk' that breaks...if the new Z is any different I will be shocked. Just sayin'.

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    The GT3-R is a purpose built racer, and I only buy street cars at this point. All 'race' cars become obsolete as soon as the next model comes out and bests the current model. Look at the Ferrari Challenge cars, who wants one after two years? The Stradale on the other hand will retain its...

    Gen V ACR performance speculation...

    Given the 'standard' for the ACR is the Ring record, I imagine that SRT has some or will get some good data from the GT3-R on the Ring and use this to develop the new ACR. Price is really no object since the goal is world record setting performance. If it costs $250k, then so be it. I want...

    I like the Venom Black! So what would the 'out the door' price be on one of these? $120k?
