    The New ACR

    I believe the ACR will be part of the 1 of 1 program. Dealers will not be stocking them as much as assisting in the ordering process. Starting at just under $114K each customer may choose all the options their pocket book can afford. Each ACR has the potential to be exactly the dream machine...

    VPA Announcement

    I believe one of the greatest benefits of this transaction will be that these parts will continue to be available to the entire Viper Community. Parts Rack has always been a go-to place for Viper Parts, and as such, these parts will continue to be available on an as needed basis for Viper...

    How To: Shift Faster

    Great instruction. Another tip is to make sure you do not move your left hand on the steering wheel when you are concentrating of getting those shifts done quickly. Watching drag racing from the tower you will often see cars twitching to the side during each. This is often caused when the...

    Nomination of Ralph Gilles to the VCA Hall of Fame

    Without Ralph, there would be no Gen V Viper. Think this is a great idea.

    Finally ready to buy a Viper, have a few questions though.

    As others have said, everybody is built just a bit different. Best way to determine how comfy you will feel in a Viper is to get is some. You may notice that Coupes since 96 have had a double bubble roofline to allow helmets to fit better inside. This may give you what you are looking for. If...

    VCA Hellcat Raffle

    Another way to look at it, is that if you have one of those $15,000 Gen V Dodge vouchers, you could order a new $85,000 Viper, in the color you like, put the $15,000 voucher down and ride away in a brand new 2016 Viper for $20,000 tax freec Viper owners are pretty clever. Bet they find a way to...

    How much boost can the Gen V motor take and the car for that matter?

    Dick Winkles, the father of our beloved V-10 has just retired from Chrysler, and taken a position at Arrow. Nobody knows more about the development of this engine, and is well aware of the application of forced induction to make additional power. I would believe that if a...

    It was a strange experience.

    Traction control would be a very welcome addition for those long freeway rides home from a day at the track : >)

    How much boost can the Gen V motor take and the car for that matter?

    This question reminds me of when Paxton came out with their supercharger package for Gen III Vipers. In stock form it made almost 800 hp and was super drivable with great reliability. When customers wanted more, they added additional fuel, more complex timing control, bigger intercoolers, and...

    VCA Hellcat Raffle

    From what I hear, HellCats are darn near impossible to get from a dealer right now. They have far more deposits taken than their allocations, so there is little assurance of getting a delivery any time soon. This may be the best chance of getting one of these desirable cars in your garage. I...

    What is this "GForce" thing?

    Since the metal exhaust pipes expand with heat, many adjust their outlet pipes so that when cold, they are in the front portion of the body outlet. When the exhaust heats up, it then moves towards the rear. If you center them when cold, the exhaust may rub up against the rear of the outlet...

    Road Courses in Souther Cali

    Frank. Special tax incentives for agriguculture based business. Think the most profitable is growing grapes for the numerous vinyards in the area. Biggest problem for the future is locking in water sources for irrigation. Many are changing out their avocado groves for wine specific grapes...

    Exhaust tip weekend tinker project.

    A little tip on installing exhaust tips. It is a good idea to set them up near the front of the opening when cold. As they warm up the exhaust tubing expands and pushes the tip rearward. Sometimes it will even hit the opening and cause damage. ( 0) when cold = (0 ) when warm.

    Gen IV used values

    Now that tuning is more available for the Gen IV cars, the prices seem to be creeping up. The idea that you can now add super chargers, turbos, NOS, as well as simple bolt-ons to bring the car more into Supercar territory makes them a great platform for modding. While many feel the stock 600 hp...

    My viper was keyed very bad "graphic pictures "

    That is indeed horrible. Somebody has a lot of hate in them to do this. Looks like a job for Prefix.

    New to ViperLand

    Vipers have an alarm, clock, and some computer stuff that puts a slow drain on the car. Most of us just hook them up to a battery tender when they are not going to be driven for a week or more. Just a simple thing that makes ownership easier. You can hook up the tender pigtail in the engine...

    End of an Era

    While Dick still has a couple days left in his tenure at Chrysler, he will always hold a position of honor and strength with the VCA. I remember spending a little time with him when he showed up at the Dan Cragin event at Willow Springs. He had just spent the last several weeks riding with...

    Market Value on my 97 gts with gold package?

    That video was a real blast from the past. We called the VIpers with those yellow wheels "Catsup and Mustard" of "Ronald McDonald" cars. In reality they were a poke in the eye to Ferrari with a Prancing Snake decal where Ferrari uses their famous Prancing Horse logo.
