Some food for thought
What are they providing that the VCA does not offer? The VCA database is far deeper and broader for Gen I through IV. Both clubs do magazines. The VCA has raffles that, minimally, allow someone to win a substantial amount of money even if enough tickets are not sold to award the car. And even...- Bobpantax

Some food for thought
The following was posted a week ago in the Ask VCA Headquarters Forum. It is relevant to this thread. Post: Since the new Union contract has now been approved, per that contract, Viper production will end in 2017. As is the case with any car site where the car goes out of production, the...- Bobpantax

Supercharger Kit Ready Yet?
Ah, maybe you did not notice but the supercharger is not connected to the air intakes. Please post a video after the system is completely hooked up and running.- Bobpantax

VCA is here to stay WORD
I did not write "most". I wrote a "significant number". The VCA went through a similar experience in 2009 when it learned the Viper was not going to be produced beyond the 2010 model year. Chrysler had declared bankruptcy in a Chapter 11 proceeding. The then last Viper rolled off the line on...- Bobpantax

VCA is here to stay WORD
Since the new Union contract has now been approved, per that contract, Viper production will end in 2017. As is the case with any car site where the car goes out of production, the historical database of this site will continue to have value but participation will gradually fall off. The same...- Bobpantax

Supercharger Kit Ready Yet?
Packaging was undoubtedly a factor but I think power distribution through the RPM curve - especially in the context of durability and reliability - probably played a bigger role. The power in a centrifugal application comes in at a higher point on the chart above about 3300 RPM. Higher RPM means...- Bobpantax

They say the Viper is gonna die
Does the Union contract specifically say the Viper is finished or does it merely say that Connor will be closing? It is possible that a redesigned and reengineered Viper could be made utilizing a less handmade approach. It is also possible that such a beast could be rebranded as a subtype of...- Bobpantax

Supercharger Kit Ready Yet?
The power comes in at a lower RPM with the twin screw. The stock Paxtonized kit cars are very reliable but the Roe cars in the same boost range do better in the quarter mile. I have had both. My Gen III was Paxtonized and my Gen II was Roeized. There are good reasons that FCA, Ford and GM use...- Bobpantax

Supercharger Kit Ready Yet?
Apples and oranges. The procharger is a centrifugal unit. The Sledgehammer is a twin screw like the supercharger on the Hellcat. The Sledgehammer is being developed by Arrow which, as we all know, is an expert on all Viper engines. Dick Winkles now works for arrow. When both types are...- Bobpantax

2016 ACR Modification Suggestions
There are many vendors for parts. There are very few dealers (Woodhouse is a dealer and Mark J. works for Woodhouse) that do performance modifications at all and even fewer that do them at the level and with the accumulated wisdom and expertise of Mark and his staff. I have personal experience...- Bobpantax

2014 GTS idle
The dealer is correct. The idle will drop down to 700 to 750 after 1000 miles. It is part of the controller's programming to make sure the rings seat properly.- Bobpantax

Irresponsible Leadership
Alex apologized. Here is what he said: "First off, we would do a raffle - we just don't have a way to do one at this time and ensure that we do it legally. Others may be doing one, and I'll apologize for saying it's illegal, I don't want to discourage anything that's tied to the Viper. I wish...- Bobpantax

Irresponsible Leadership
Let's not get carried away. One person, Alex Ristovic of Arizona, made a post. Regardless of his title with the VOA, I do not believe any other VOA Board members backed him up. The post appears to have been removed suggesting that the VOA Board took remedial action. Whether or not the VCA...- Bobpantax

My Fellow Americans...it was a GOOD run
The 2017 rumor is based on the belief that the current V 10 is only certified through 2017. But FCA , Dodge and SRT work on development years ahead of schedule and Dodge is committed to being the performance brand within FCA. So we should not run down the road with our pants on fire...- Bobpantax
