    Trunk lid drops with a wing.

    We put a front splitter and rear wing on our 08. Its not an ACR. Now the trunk doesn't stay open. It stays open just long enough to make you think it will stay, then it sends you to the emergency room for stiches in your head. I figure the same problem may occur with the ACR. It there a...

    Whine in 3.55 differentail in an 08

    I swapped the stock rear for a 3.55, the standard design. I noticed a whine immediately, over the Balanger headers so it must be significant. My wife noticed it immediately. I don't want to mention vendor because everyone tries to do good work so its nobody's fault. The weather has been figid...

    Sony SR-12 video camera mount

    Sticky Pod - Camera Mounts - Car, Truck, Boat, Motorcycle, Kayak I couldn't find a way to do a hard mount so I went with StickyPod. It mostly works but its a pain to adjust a couple suction cups. One is not enough, at least for me. And the ball sockets have to be super tight or the camera moves...

    What is a mamba?

    I see lots of comments about mambas? What is a mamba? Our 2008 is our first Viper so we don't know all this stuff. Thanks

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    Its not just for looks, we run the car at Summit Point WV. But I'm not sure if the turns are fast enough to make a difference. I hope the 3.55 rear makes a difference. I felt the Viper is slow out of the turns in 3rd gear. Second is too much, but the rpms are down in third, at leat at my present...

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    My wife has no common sense when it comes to cars, she is wonderful. Years ago I was going to chip an Vet and she convinced me to send it to Lingenfelder for an engine. We took a short drive in a CTV-V when they came out and we had to buy it, and then send it away for a supercharger. She goes...

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    I didn't see the parts, they went directly to the shop. It comes in a couple big packages. But the install was done by a goos racing shop and they would know if the support was not adequate. So it must be OK. I'll ask the shop when I talk to them.

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    I don't know. Actually, I don't know what to look for to answer your question. If you tell me I'll look.

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    I was told that it makes this much force on the back. I have no supporting data.

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    The rear is said to create about 600 lbs, but that was right from the factory. We made the angle higher with the optional setting, do it may be more.

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    My wife is still annoyed that I didn't get an ACR. She wants the Viper to look mean. The ACR kit from Dodge was too expensive, so we put on an aftermarket kit. At the same time we put on a 3.55 rear, but its too cold to test the acceleration. We just wanted to share some pictures with you...

    Viper Dealers in the MD/DC/VA area?

    I suggest you contact Mark Jorgenson at Woodhouse. It may be best to ship your car there.

    tunning 08

    What is the effect on the warrenty? Since the dealer has to install the PCM the dealer and Dodge will know of the change. Also, since its for off-road use will the dealers even do this swap? Thanks

    tunning 08

    How difficult is it to swap the PCM? I have done this on other cars but never on a Viper. Does it require jacking up the car? I had one car where this was the case. If its easy to change than it can be changed at the track or other places. Will the car have to go through a learning process each...

    I do not feel safe anymore, why?

    My 08 was like that when brand new, with Motons. It felt unstable and dangerous even at resoanble speeds. And if you spun the wheels at all the rear would kick out. I had a race driver drive it and he said it was dangerous. His shop did an allignment and adjusted the shocks and its like a...

    Not Cats? Rear O2 sensors?

    Where can you get sims for a 2008? How many are needed? Thanks

    Mark, how does this work? Can the dealer install a new Mopar tune? Thanks. Edit: I see you answered this above. When can we expect to get this? Put me on the list. Thanks

    Effect of differential on acceleration from a stop or from a rolling start.

    Thanks. That tells me 3.33 are better for the track I go to.

    Effect of differential on acceleration from a stop or from a rolling start.

    Thanks to all. I can see this is not a simple question. Based on the answers it seems that if you are traction limited the rear ratio doesn't help off the line. What about when you hit 3rd or 4th? Is seems a higher numerical gear will result in a stronger pull to the rev limit. What is the...

    Effect of differential on acceleration from a stop or from a rolling start.

    When you say a 3:55 pulls to 130-135 do you mean in a particular gear? 3rd? 4th? Thanks
