    My Car is (sort of) Famous!

    My 2004 SRT-10 is in the June issue of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine. A 2 page picture spread, and 4 pages of text. (Just doing my part to fly the Viper flag.)

    Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

    As other posters have written, it's a gear issue. 6th gear is not useful for anything except for increasing gas mileage on the highway. From a performance standpoint, the Viper as it comes from the factory really has a 5 speed transmission. 6th gear is just too high. Almost no amount of...

    Reverse Locked Out - HELP!!!

    Check your fuses. A blown fuse can cause the reverse lockout solenoid to not function. Lots of folks have this issue after a header install (melted insulation on wires, causes short, causes blown fuse, causes solenoid to not work.) Don't know if you've got headers or not, but check the fuses...

    Danica Patrick can kick rocks

    The Williams sisters were both in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition a few years back in bikinis.

    Lightest flywheel?

    Tilton flywheel is lightest you can get. Not cheap, however, and you've got to replace the stock clutch with a carbon/carbon Tilton clutch. Crazy free-revving.

    After market seats

    Kai -- Will jumpering the airbag sensor disable or interfere with the functioning of the airbags? I assume that a similar workaround would be required on a 2008 which by the way now has multi-stage airbag sensors in the seats (for male, female, child). /Rich If you do it correctly, then...

    After market seats

    I looked into this a while back. You're likely going to have to get custom made seat brackets. After a lot of research, the lightest weight seats that I could find that still had an adjustable recline feature were the Cobra Misano (full carbon) I need/want reclining adjustment, because...

    ACR in Top Gear magazine

    The last time they tested the Viper, it was on a track covered with standing water. Hopefully, if they road test it, they will have dry weather.

    2008 ACR Raffle is CLOSED!

    Re: ONLY 27 DAYS left for the 2008 ACR Raffle! I bought a ticket online some time ago. Should I be worried if I haven't received anything in the mail?

    How about an exhaust sound/video clip thread?

    Yes, that is with all the mods. It has a little different sound than others I've heard. I've taken a lot of rotating mass out of the engine and driveline (30 pounds for the crankshaft alone) so the rpms rise (and fall) really quickly. Gives it a bit more "bark" than most.

    Michelin PS 345/35/18, will they fit a gen 2 OEM wheel?

    Michelin's web site does not even show a tire in that size. Where did you find these?

    Where to go to test Top Speed?

    I've run the standing mile a bunch of times at the Sandhills Open Road Challenge in Nebraska. 158-162 is the range for stock Vipers (Gen II or Gen III) Maybe a difference in altitude accounts for the extra speed in the Motor Trend test.

    Where to go to test Top Speed?

    One mile is not near enough to get the car to top speed. A stock SRT-10 will only get to about 160+ in a mile.

    Who is running 305s on the front?

    I have Kumho V-700 tires 305/30/18 in front, on 18x11 SSR wheels No issues

    I-80 across Southern Wyoming.

    I want to LOSE!!

    They are the SSR wheels that John B at Partsrack sells. "Comp H" I believe. I did weigh them, but it was a while back. Can't remember exactly what they weighed, but I think I saved a hair over 22lbs per rear wheel/tire over stock, and almost 20 pounds per front wheel/tire over stock. 18x13...

    I want to LOSE!!

    Some things I did to my car to cut weight: Custom billet crankshaft (29 pounds lighter than stock) Lightweight pistons, rods, etc. Corsa exhaust with crossover delete Carbon fiber drive shaft; Tilton carbon/carbon clutch with lightweight flywheel SSR 18 inch wheels Light weight stereo...

    Anyone know what a stock SRT-10 brake rotor weighs?

    No. Think way back to high school physics. Greater rotational mass would require additional time to get up to speed assuming the power remains constant. Once up to speed, however, it does not require any additional energy to keep it moving.

    shocks

    They start out low, but ramp up and become super stiff quite quickly.

    Anyone know what a stock SRT-10 brake rotor weighs?

    Why would a change in rotating mass result in better dyno numbers? Thinking of the physics involved, I can't think why that would be the case. I don't believe that going to lighter wheels/brakes will change your hp or tq numbers. It could change your real world acceleration numbers, but...

    Stiffer springs for my Motons

    Moton, KW, and Penske all make good shocks for the Gen III. Moton is probably the most popular, but that doesn't necessarily make them the best.

    I will never buy iForged rims again

    Not so for Forgeline wheels. There are quite a few of their wheels that are warrantied for track use.
