Your accomplishment and dedication to getting your Gen.5 in the 10s is outstanding...I do not agree that Vipers are not good drag racers as some indicate.Really,any car that runs even 11.50s and does 200 mph stock is crazy fast.I raced Gen2s and a Gen 4 for 15 years,so I will never agree with...
Ya Nine Ball,I will bet, 6 months out YOU(like many more) will be driving one of those super fast shifting new ZO6s running easy 10 second passes all day long.Just think,that will give you months again to run one very high 10 second pass again in a Gen 5 with drag radials...You did a great job...
Dwhitt,outstanding machine and price..91,000.00 for a GTS Viper like that (Crazy)....All said,if these prices continue to free fall, I will be forced to get me one and keep it for the remainder....I will be soon low balls a couple dealers here in South Fla ,just got to let them sit a little...
WHD and BP are exceptional, but they are the exception, NOT the rule. The Gen.5 ,does need some modern safety updates(side/knee air bags) and more HP and DCTs etc.,but it is a good value at the fire sales prices now a days.If you buy a new one now ,you are stuck with it or like some one...
Policy Limits and Torquemonster that is a perfect explanation of the situation....Dodge would sell all the Vipers they could make with a DCT or super fast shifting Auto....In no way should they discontinue the manual,as many still enjoy that. With this addition,the new Viper would dominate/be...
PeerBlock,how could you know one way or the other if I can shift or not.Well I will tell you after having 3 Vipers for 15 years ,I can shift with the best of them.I have just chose to do it the high tect.way...As male crap stuff,I spent 6 years in the United States Marines and have very...
Ya Ivan is a good dude...SF VCA is correct.....I am personally not at all concerned about the $$$$,just the results......
Yes,a Chimp can do 10s in a Turbo S...Can you imagine do all that clutch smoking and shifting and losing to a trained drag racing Chimp in a Porsche..... Not Good...
Emerier,you are 100 percent correct...Several people continue to make excuses for the Gen.5 on its inability to be completive in Drag Racing .As for not being a Drag Racer,years past that is all we did in the South Fl. VOA is drag race with our Vipers.Ya,the wheel hop was bad on the Gen.2s...
Re: Track Attack #11, New tires, best lap time, max g’s, 991 Turbo S…and the big ques
Told ya Bob how bad ass the new 991 Turbo S is with the Pilot Sport Cup 2s(That's why I got them).....Good weather tonight ,bring that TA to Palm Beach tonight and do some passes(Fun)....The TA is the best...
Ya,forgot Brooks did a 11.17,S.Fla.the Master Drag Racer..I was taking about the previous Gens I have raced (2/4s) on the issues...While I have driven a Gen.5,I have not raced one and I do agree they are way way better and safer car than the previous Gens.I do hope they add side inpact air bags...
I witnessed a Gen.5 Viper with a very experienced driver with drag radials run all day long(at least 10 runs)at Palm Beach.The car is bullet proof,as they ran the piss out of it and it did not break. The best time was 11.40s(60/70s Avg)...You are correct,that is excellent for a stick that is so...
Easy Bob,I know you Love Dodge and whats a better looking car is opinion,not a fact that like the 5 10 second cars mentioned will whoop and Gen.5 in a drag race...I hope Dodge makes your dream Drag Pack Viper,that car will surly be in the 10 second club...As for the road track,any time you want...
At 81700.00, according to Florida State Statues,that would be a felony. Great deal and great car...Remember,learn how to drive a Snake before you nail it( pointed straight,hot tires no water anywhere) or it will bite you bad...Good Luck....
Redsled,why would I not mention the Porsche 911 Turbo S in the response.A 10.70s street car is 8 car lengths ahead of a 11.50s Gen 5 Viper on the street and drag strip in a quarter mile race(Reg People/Not Nineball). That is no bash on Gen.5,just how it is...A Gen.5 is a excellent car and 11.50s...
Nissan GTR and the 991/911 Turbo S....
The Gen.5 just needs a DCT Auto/Updated LC and tect.and it will be able to hang with the consistent under 3 second /10 second club at the red light/test and tune Friday Nights.....
If not,it will continued to be whooped at those venues .....
Porsche Cars /Company has nothing to do with the situation with Dodge Viper and Dodge SRT Motorsports. The example used of Porsche Company and their cars ,is just a example of doing things and building high performance cars that sell and are reliable no mater what they cost.
By the way, the...
Playing with the race cars if a Dodge is hardly selling their new generation car is out of the question.Of course,it is a money thing.I mean would you do this if it was your cash,no way...I like, others would like to give the benefit of the doubt to Dodge to update the Gen 5 so people will buy...
They had a good run,just like they will be saying about new Vipers in a couple years .....Sad ,but this is reality....Major updating of Viper if it is to survive...I have been a guest of Porsche NA to several races after buying two new 911 Turbo Ss,I have to say,what a first class operation,I...
New Gen 5 GTS at 85 is great deal,even if you can not sell/trade it later....Just drive it and enjoy it...Their is local dealer that has a new Black SRT that I like,(114 MSRP) even though the Viper needs updating I may roll over and offer 80,000.00 cash for it and see if they take it....If they...
My rules in my three Viper ownership experience (15yrs) were Dry Roads Only,Hot Tires,lot road in front of you and most important keep it pointed straight on the street when you nail it.....Good Luck with your new toy....
