    24 hour daytona

    I'm not sure but I think 93 is the car that burned last year so very impressive.

    24 hour daytona

    Vipers are now running 1-2. Winkles is one of those guys who prob volunteers his time and would be hard to keep away. Same with Ralph. Those guys have gear oil for blood.

    "---" off-road PCM

    It sounds equiv to what they did for the G4. I haven't heard of anyone improving on the factory stock intakes.

    Another rod bearing failure. This one was bought back by Chrysler!

    I think this dipstick issue is a red herring...cars don't burn oil these days (esp low mile exotics) unless tracked and the 1/32 width of a dipstick isn't going to lead to an oil starvation issue IMO. More likely, logically, its from cars or motors sitting and not being lubricated properly as a...

    leaking struts in TA models

    Cars sitting on dealer lots for months doesn't help with things like oil seals in dampers....or bearings in motors. All my cars get started and driven every month no matter what the weather for just these reasons.

    Viper GTC

    New Owner ACR-X

    There is a manual for the ACR-X, I suggest you use it. There is also a maintenance schedule and fluid suggestions etc. If you want, send me your email and I can send it to you. BTW, so you know, there was no Viper Racing League (VRL-old series) for the ACR-X, it was the 'Viper Cup' spec car, a...

    It's officially on the streets now!

    Lets see....heavier than a Viper, more powerful, with narrower tires..sounds like a car for everyone. ;) Seriously, glad nobody was hurt.

    has value of 09 dropped??

    I would say more likely its a reflection of the trade in values and people taking huge losses in resale to capitalize on the so-called 'value' of buying a newer car for a discount. I would also suggest company marketing strategy effects everyone's value negatively or positively depending on its...

    Gen v carbon brakes ready

    Look great, so how do these compare to the gold standard, the PCCBs on the 911TTS? How soon does the ABS come on in hard braking zones? Have you used them on a wet track where TC issues might be more likely to arise? Are you using the ACR-X Brembo pads or OEM? I cannot tell from the shadows...

    Gen 5 oil

    If you track the car, then go with 15W-50 Mobil 1 or Motul.

    2010 ACR Coolant Change

    I suggest you release the cables where they connect to the upper braces. Also, be aware there is some two sided tape holding the piece on to the bottom of the front of the car. That has to be pryed away. PS-Are you sure you cannot release the coolant hose on the bottom of the radiator to...

    Pirelli Corsa comparison with Trofeo R

    Evo compares 918 to P1. First P1 on Corsa tires them on a set of Trofeo R tires. About 1.5 sec faster on a short (2 mi) nontechnical track.

    Pirelli Corsa comparison with Trofeo R

    This video demonstrates the difference between these two tires very well. Very worth watching for more reasons that that! http://youtu.be/IiyyO7vrdiI

    2014 "ACR"

    Debating a repaint

    Just get it touched up and put some Carbon color vinyl stripes on it for a change of pace, they come off early and are cheap. Or put a wrap on it. I don't think rarity means much for Viper resale and if you are regularly debating getting rid of it, you probably will someday if you can get a...

    2.0 questions

    According to Autoblog: Also new for 2015 is the SRT TA 2.0 Special Edition, which expands on last year's Viper TA by adding new aerodynamic bits and bobs, including a larger rear wing, which ups downforce at 150 miles per hour from 278 pounds to 400 pounds. Since the G4 ACR wing generates...

    Pirelli Pzero Rosso tires??

    I have tried both but on different cars. I would go with the PS2 for grip in the Viper unless you drive in the rain a lot, in which case the Pzero is better and it is also a lot quieter tire.

    Road and Track Performance Car of the Year. Viper TA 2.0!

    It's a short track so I'm not surprised. The new GT3 is not a better car than the Speciale but these guys and gals can't drive to it's potential. The new GT3 is the softest ever so easy to drive like last years winner Vette.

    Tuned TA!!!

    Nice TA and great numbers! Almost matches my 'upgraded' but 'untuned' G4. Here is mine for comparison.

    Viper ACR concept shown at SEMA

    I don't think the majority of Viper buyers want ACRs, its just that they never built a really dedicated track car until the GenIV, and it was so much faster than all the G1-III cars, esp modded, that all the track guys jumped onboard. The challenge for the G5, imo, is to make it a lot faster...

    Viper ACR concept shown at SEMA

    Well, I guess the aftermarket will have to do the build! It won't get the same press as a MOPAR ACR though. :(
