    2013 Dodge SRT Viper: A Speed Demon With Too Much Engine

    Do people really do this? Listen to Elton John in a Viper?

    New guy looking for ACR

    The Motor Trend article has it right...but doesn't mention that the speaker covers, battery cover and radio panel are nice finished carbon fiber pieces. ;) It also makes the car more rare, fwiw. This might be a 1 off car. For eg., I have seen several other graphite ACR's like mine, but never...

    New guy looking for ACR

    The one I am thinking of is owned by a guy named Frank who races a Comp Coupe in the NE region and with NARRA. I don't know if he still has it or what his username here is, but search around for him and you will find him. Good luck.

    New guy looking for ACR

    There was a member with a solid orange ACR for sale, I believe. Suggest you do some research on here before you buy, these cars have some options and there are avail mods that can significantly impact the price.

    Jealous...glad to see someone stepped up to the plate! Let's hope for a couple others to join him, at least in the 24 hours. Maybe a Woodhouse entry? hint hint

    Opinions on New Transmission and Gearing Wanted

    I changed over to the Gen V gears, and it is well worth the money and effort. I don't know what they were thinking with the 08-09 tranny. It sucks. I bought mine, the ACR-X trans, from Viper Race Hqtrs. I think you should easily get 190 on a mile track at your 625 rwhp and easily with...

    Viper + Ford GT

    The frame was structurally strengthened in 09, at least on the ACR. The 09 ACR has the Ring record also, fwiw. Many unique color schemes on ACR. Go for the ACR!

    Vipers qulify 1st and 3rd at the Canadian ALMS round

    Great result...great race. The GT cars are finally getting some coverage, which is well deserved. Its the top class of the series. I also thought it was weird to see the Vette front wheel spinning in the grass after the impact, like it was a drive wheel. What a drive for the Vettes and the...

    Ralph Gilles' Dyno Results

    Like any engine factory, they have suppliers or another division produce the parts to within certain tolerances. It is well known that there is slight deviation in parts. For example, in Spec Miata racing, the top guys buy multiple motors from the factory and tear down the motors and measure...

    Ralph Gilles' Dyno Results

    A friend of mine is a former Chrysler engine plant manager--he says when the brass wants a motor they don't just pick out a good motor, then check every part and get the best out of the bin to build it with...of course. The last they want to do is send a dud to the brass. I don't think Ralph...

    ALMS - Lime Rock July 5th - 6th

    ^^apparently, the guys at BMW know how to play the FIA game very well. Purpose built car, top pro driver. Vette couldn't really touch it head to head. I only scanned the race, but I didn't think I ever saw a GT pass a GT car. Lots going on at that track, except racing.

    Future values of ACRs

    ^^totally agree. Like the Cobra..they will never make a more straight forward high performance Viper. History will document how it decimated the Ring record and owned all current super car competition. If the PCM codes are ever released, it will be even better. All the super cars have upped the...

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    When you buy the new pads, there is a detailed instruction sheet in the box. Basically you remove the caliper, screw the piston back in to install the new pads (use needle nose pliers) and reinstall the caliper then adjust ebrake by multiple lever actuations.

    How do you break an OSG diff?

    Who built your diff? How many miles on it?

    Ralph's Viper + ACR-X Slicks

    The whites match up pretty good...but my personal fav is still Graphite, and I prefer American made Hoosiers!!! ;) Ooops, this is a Gen V forum....sorry about that! (NOTE TO SRT....BRING BACK GRAPHITE ACR'S!)

    GT3-R

    Per SRT ad....United SportsCar Series GT Daytona, Pirelli World Challenge GT class, NARRA, SCCA and other GT categories. I'm sure that the guys running CC at Daytona would rather have one of these in their garage next year. We might see one (or two) at NARRA next year, maybe even SCCA. I...

    GT3-R

    We all know who the competition is, the Porsche factory built 911 GT3 Cup retailing for about $235k. Then there is the P&M built Vette C6.R. I have heard of used C6.R's going for $650k. That was a while ago. The P&M C6RS (street legal T-56 equipped version of C6.R...kinda) sold for around...

    GT3-R

    I hear F1 transmissions are about the size of a can of coffee...when is this tech going to trickle down?? Imagine the weight savings!

    What do you think on where we placed at Le Mans?

    TK seems to have more than his share of bad luck...but did you notice there were two Vipers on the track? They were neck and neck in the middle of the GT pack so putting the Stig in there prob won't help. (Did he really put the Gen V on top of the board?) ;)f...

    What do you think on where we placed at Le Mans?

    I guess the question of the day is:: Did SRT sell some Vipers with this race effort? I think its a big deal for Viper to be making a factory racing effort and I suspect it will trickle down to car sales. There is certainly a lot of 'interest' in the racing community and the GTS-R gives the...

    What do you think on where we placed at Le Mans?

    ^^The GTS-R would blow the doors off a TA..just sayin. Look at Monterey times for a benchmark. GTS-R=1:24.163 TA=1:33.62
