Perfect test and tune drag night car,at least, very low 11s (maybe 10s)with some tires....Will not have beat up the fancy 10 second VW(911 TS) so much now on Test and Tune when I get a hellcat...
Also,what a highway machine with that kind of power..This is the best car Dodge has came out with...
Great job on Hellcat,so Badaxxx...The hellcat will run with or beat the Gen.5 in the quarter mile with that amount of HP and a Auto easy..DRs, it will spank it..Now show the love to Viper owners /possible future owners with the same enthusiasm and SRT is all set.
Viper MUST have at least...
Very Good Suggestions...
Weather open now or not,if the Viper is not improved(Wow Factor Stuff) and marketed correctly in the future, that plant will be closed in a year....I mean they have hundreds of new Vipers sitting at dealers now they can not sell...
Hope they get their act together...
The reason I repeat this is because it is the way forward for Viper if it is to survive...Period.....
In no way do I think Dodge should eliminate a stick in the future Vipers,they are fun and I very much enjoy them and always will.Just add a DCT for a option...
Dodge and cars companies read...
After owning 3 Vipers and now on the second 911 Turbo S ,DCT,you are correct ,the DCT Trans w/LC are amazing...A Gen 5 with a DCT would smoke most everything...My 991 TS runs close to mid 10s all day long bone stock...A Gen.5 just how it is with a DCT will go mid 10s every time ....Go drive a...
Who cares what these toys cost and what they resale for. I have spent millions on them over my life and loose my ass every time I sell one and buy one. I just do the best I can do when I buy and sell. Enjoy your toys. Wanted you are a asshxxx talking about others peoples stuff and I am sure you...
Get your money,you will make it up in the future and you will get a much new Gen.5 for fire sale price. The new Viper prices will be very low for a long time.It will work out...
You need to come about 10,000.00 off that price to sell it.One can buy brand new 13 for what you are asking. Friend just bought a brand new 14 with lots of option for a little over your price....Very little demand for Vipers...
But,don,t feel bad,we all get our asxxx kicked when we buy these...
Friend just bought brand new Gen.5 couple days ago(Drove it),first gear way to long,but it is way better than 3 the Vipers I have owned before.Other than that,he trans and clutch are excellent in the Gen 5..
Never drove a manual Porsche,never wanted one until I saw the quarter mile numbers on...
I have been shifting gears on HP cars for 25 years...Still like it for fun/Vipers.. Yes,I have attempted to out shift the PDK in Sport Plus with the paddles on the TS,as a human being,NOT even close..The DCT/PDK does everything perfect every time,that includes racing to just cruising around...
Having owned 3 Vipers,C6 Z06 and ZR1 ,I can tell you first hand that manual transmissions can not compare in any way to new DCTs on HP cars.On second Porsche 911 Turbo S 11/14 and the shifting days are over.Porsche does not offer manual trans in any new 911 Turbos,GT3,918s or future GT2s...Go...
Well ,some Viper guys can be Porsche guys also. So,to that end, went with my friend(Dr.RW) yesterday to a Dodge Dealer in Palm Beach and he bought himself a brand new SRT Viper (Silver).Dealer was excellent and he got a excellent price. I drove it,car is Bad Ass/Nice,will it run with my Turbo...
Agreed....The Viper are a blast to drive compared to Porsche and I look forward to the 15 Snakes to see what SRT has in store..If I like the improvements,I will but one...
So we all know a Turbo S will destroy a Gen.5 in a drag race and I will tell you, it will hang with a Gen.5 on a road course for sure with non professional drivers. I have had three Vipers and also a have a new Turbo S.I invite anyone that has a Gen 5 in South Fl.that wants to do some real track...
Agreed,Viper Quality is outstanding at factory and can be compared to Porsche 911 quality.Been to both factories and witnessed this first hand.Have owned C6 Z06 and ZR1 and neither compared to Snake or Porsche in quality.The employees putting together these(V/P) cars care and do not do it half...
All BS ing a side,the Hellcat shoud be a good drag strip test and tune play car for cheap $$$$ ...Should do mid 11s easy with some DRs... I thnik it looks excellent and will be really bad axxx looking blacked out...
Ya I know,but when it gets boring I just say Porsche 911 Turbo S and it gets enteraning responses. After all, that is why we all talk all this BS any way....Entertainment ....
Sure discussing a Porsche,GT500 or others is relevant to this forum, as we are discussing straight line street performance,a place were the 911 Turbo S happens to dominate..... That Hellcat is all good and with a automatic and that much HP it will give a Gen 5 a hell of a run or may beat it...
On the street/track,the 560Hp/556 Tk/AWL/DCT w/LC.,10 second bone stock 911 Turbo S will destroy everything from the dig and thru the quarter,except a Mclaren or Bugatti..Period...
Smart Engineering will trump HP numbers all day long in modern HP cars...
991/911 TS is the best 10 second...
Understand the $$$$ thing.No big deal,when you can get a Viper ,then you will...I struggle with having expensive toys sitting in the garage that I only use for fun and then have to have a vehicles that I actually use.Crazy..... As for a Viper as a DD,I drove my Gen.4 as a DD for a year,they are...
