So the best solution,have a 911 Turbo S for your street/straight line work and a Viper TA for your round a round the track racing.One thing you can count on, is that in 10/20 years from now ,one will be able to buy a new 911 Turbo Porsche.As things are going now with viper sales or lack of ,the...
If you ever see a brand new Black 991 Turbo S in Palm beach in your Viper on the street,you will looking at it way,way in front of you.....You will be very embarrassed by the distance...That is the real deal...Yes,a lot of Porches (Drs/Lawyers/Executives/people w/$$$) ,but the quality of the...

That is the best suggestion I have heard to save the Viper.Super Charged factory Gen.5 ,they would sell all they could make.I would buy one immediately....
Yes,Ralph Gilles and the Viper Team should be commended for saving the Viper.But,now move on and unlock that computer,add HP...
Personally I have run 5 back to back quarter mile runs using Launch Control at 5500 RPMs/all 10 second/11 Flat @128/129 runs..No issues at all with the car,temp at 175 .As for the track duty,don,t know,but I do run it hard to red line a lot ,no issues..The car loves to run hard.. Road and Track...
Yes,I have driven the Gen.5s,it is improved over the Gen.4.Again,I like Vipers ,but the main issues I have ,is the locked computer and I would like a option of a DCT...As for the 991 TS,again the reason I bumped up is it is much better in everyway what the 997 TS.I am actually pleased that it...
By the way,before ya start defending the Viper. I am a huge Viper fan and have owned 3 of them for 17 years and and will buy a new one as soon as the either unlock that computer,DCT or add big HP...The current car has just not progressed enough from my previous Gen.4.
Enough internet...
The new 991 Turbo S is improved in every way then the 997 Turbo S.Had 997 TS for 2 years and now have new 991 TS..While it may run the same or the 991 a bit faster then the 997,they both will run 10.60s to 10.90s all day long, every time(Bone Stock)...Best time for 14 TS is 10.62 @ 128...
Some of you guys have some serious stress going on..Whats all this political stuff on a car site ??? Go to the track and do some burn out and have some fun...
Ya,unlock that that computer...
Nothing sounds better in the world that Gen.2 Cam....That was so bad ass stock... Had a 96 RT for about 4 months,ditched it as soon as I saw that B/W GTS and heard that cam...That was a Viper.Nothing ran with that car at the time.... That is the position needs to be in now a days..
I missed nothing.... I do not believe for a minute Fiat/Dodge/SRT does not for knowledge and recourses to put a DCT in a new Viper if they wish... DCT, Convertible and unlock that computer and offer after market high performance parts and they will sell all the Vipers they can make.... Do...
Be real,one of the reasons very few people are buying Vipers is because it is only is offered in manual...Do you really think technology will go backwards ...DCT and Technology is the way forward and if SRT does not embrace this ,Viper will fail,sooner than later..
GM is moving forward with...
You have seen nothing yet,with these hundreds of new Gen.5 s sitting unsold at dealers,they will have to basically give them away to clear them out...Very Sad situation for a excellent car,this is SRT Management/Marketing and the(most/not all) greedy dealers doing... A change in SRT...
My old 997 TS ran 10.80s all day long..My new 991/911 TS is faster than the 997 TS.It will 10.60s..(Check Drag times on the 14 TS)The most important thing for me is that the new model is way nicer in every way.. (Both Bone Stock).
These magazine drivers can,t dive for shixxx and do not use a...
Never drove older 911 Turbos,had 3 Vipers and a ZR1 from 1995 to 2011... I have been told they were very difficult to control..Probability like my 1996 RT10 or 97 GTS.. You are correct,the new 911/ 991 Turbo S does everything,it is very ,very hi tect...Very Easy to drive at it limits...
It is all good defending the Gen 5,it is the best Viper ever made. I have driven many Gen 5s and owned 3 Vipers myself. However,the Gen.5 is way behind the new high tect HP cars in so many ways.I personally know 2 other Viper owners, besides myself that SRT lost a customers because of the...
Further,SRT needs to keep the SRT lines worker working.Layoff their Best people,what are the SRT Bosses thinking.....Good Guys seems to making lots of bad decisions....
They may say the Viper line will open in June.You can bet, if all these new Vipers continue sitting on lots,it will not. To save the Viper,SRT will have to offer some really good incentives to sell the inventory(give them away).Then, if they produce a 2015 model,it will have to have better...
Please,I have had them want to do that we me on very expensive cars...No Way...To many thing can/do happen in todays world.Keep your Jag and your title close till your TA rolls off the truck and you inspect it...If they go broke , you are screwed...Never know what is happening behinds the scenes...
Engaging No,like the GTRs,the DCT Trans in the Turbo Porsches do the work perfect like really very few humans could do every time...Embrace the technology and win or be left behind rowing gears...
Excellent explanation to of the trans... Shifting a six speed manual is very cool and fun.I did it for 14 years with my 3 Vipers. Just saying it,should be a option so people that want it can have it.SRT is very capable in making it happen if they wish. This will save the Viper in years to...
Chevy can say the Corvette can shift faster than the Porsche DCT,their is no way.The DCTs on the Turbo 911s are instant upshifts/downshifts.How can one get faster than instant and compared to the shifting thru the gears I do not a human could shift a performance like that continuously .So,if you...
Bob,SRT should hire you to promote the Gen.5 Vipers.... The TA ,in my opinion is the best Viper Dodge/SRT has ever produced..Your Black TA may have a duplicate one here in Palm beach soon...
