    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    Don't ban Keith. Just delete the Fbombs. Keith is a fun part of the club. We had a lot of fun debating during the 2008 and 2012 elections. He'll eventually break down and buy the Viper. And, it will get supercharged.

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    Interesting facts. I guess things are different in Vegas. If someone shows up in Miami with a wad of cash and prison tats, the first issue is whether or not the cash constitutes proceeds from a specified unlawful activity and is, therefore, forfeitable 0r, worse, perhaps counterfeit. Also...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    I can tell by your word usage that your boss is asleep already in the other room and the ice cubes have melted a bit. Otherwise you would not be talking about a blond and be obsessed with her kicking your ass although maybe you like that - to each his own. I do not race on the street. I think...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    Reading really helps. You said plethora not me. Most will not have the coin to buy the package. But I think we will see 50 to 100 packages sold over time. The Arrow Racing/Viper XChange package is as close to OEM as you are going to get without it being OEM. Those who know Arrow's history know...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    In real space, the Gen V Viper was not designed and engineered by Ralph and the SRT Team to be a drag race vehicle. It was designed and engineered as a road racer. That is a fact. If you want a drag car, buy a Hellcat or one of the many other high HP cars designed and engineered for that...

    Anyone else find this super annoying?

    The Arrow controller eliminates the skip shift. See the sticky thread on the controller. It is a subforum of the Gen V forum. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/672218-Arrow-Race-Controller-preliminary-observatuions.

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    I do not think that the Gen V was dumb at all. It also is not $140K. The 2015 SRT starts at an MSRP of $84,995. While there are some design cues from the Gen II, only a person with somewhat impaired vision and a lack of art appreciation would miss the enormous differences and the far superior...

    24 Hours of Le Mans Thread

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    The "new" Viper owners, as a group, appear to be more show and less go than the older Gen crowd with a few notable exceptions.

    Question for Jon and Don

    Hi. I note that when you go to the VPA site it says that the change should be completed by June 10 and we will then again be able to order online. Is everything on schedule? Please advise when the grand reopening is going to occur. Best and thanks again for your dedication to the Viper. Best, Bob

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    I wonder if it was some sort of bizzare electronic skip shift malfunction. If it is still done by a solenoid, maybe the one in your car needs to be replaced. A similar problem showed up in some Dodge trucks a few years back. At any rate, the cause should show up when the dealer puts a scan tool...

    Ran into the garage door :( side sill repair/replacement optoins?

    1. Clean out garage. 2. Remove side sill and see if you can straighten bent exhaust pipe tip. 3. Bring side sill in to body shop for repair. No need to bring the whole car. It is not that hard to remove the side sill.

    How To: Shift Faster

    I think it is important to note for the readers of this thread that the rev limiter plays an important role. Without it being there, there might be a risk of over reving and damage to driveline components and, in some cases, flywheel detonation. In the old days before rev limiters, a scatter...

    Gen V as a DD?

    I agree.The Gen V is a whole different level of snake. Other than watching the front fascia when parking and keeping in mind that it is a high performance vehicle, there really is no problem as long as you do not mind shifting in traffic and you do not need to use valets for parking .

    Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature etc

    Re: Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature Here is what I do but it is just based on a common sense approach. The first time I start it up for the day, I wait a few seconds and listen to make sure that all is well. I then do not put my foot into it...

    The New ACR

    The new ACR is a fantastic piece but I am very happy with my Arrow controlled TA. It perfectly fulfills my design and performance needs. It has enough aero for me with much less of a reduction in top speed. If that was not the case, I would probably consider the base ACR without the extreme...

    The New ACR

    Hi Texas 1. Thank you for your post. Question. The data is a bit confusing to me. Does the above indicate that a one color ACR with the extreme aero package and carbon ceramic matrix brakes would be priced as follows: $117, 895 plus $6000 for the extreme aero package plus $8500 for the CCM...

    Magazine Received

    The electronic copy was excellent but there is still the pre internet fun of holding the actual magazine and turning the pages. The interview of Dick Winkles was a special treat. Great job!

    Membership

    They have more people. The VCA has more fiscal conservatives. They have more former VCA Board Members who served sometime during the period 4/1/2009 through the Fall of 2013. The VCA web site has an enormous data base which far exceeds that of any other Viper related club with respect to Gen...

    VPA Announcement

    OK. So here is a relevant piece of data if you wish to keep this issue, which has nothing to do with the sale, in this thread which is meant to be a positive thread not a vehicle to debate Mr. Dobson's performance. Mr. Dobson is not listed as a Director in the 2014 Annual Report filed with the...
