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

    I'm confused about the effect of the rear gear ratio. Below are two links on the feeling of low torque on the 08s. It seems to me a higher(numerically) gear ratio has to increase the pushing power to the road. So in the absence of any wheelspin a higher ratio should accelerate faster. Drag...

    sold my C6Z06 and got a 08 coupe

    How can it feel quicker but not be quicker? It seems to me a higher gear has to help acceleration.

    Why are Quaife Prices so high here?

    Where did you get the exchange unit? I only saw the gears for sale. A simple exchange makes sense to me.

    My '08 is finally home.

    Congratulations, the car is beautiful. Where did you get the wing? Was it put on by Woodhouse? Can you give details. Is the wing black or the same color as the car? Thanks

    Pictures of our 2008

    I didn't use them because of the plate. The stripe stops before going down the back.

    Pictures of our 2008

    We went to a car show and I took a gentleman for a ride in our Viper. He was taking pictures of the car. A couple days later we got a CD in the mail with about 20 great pictures of our car. Its Venom Red. We really liked the pictures and wanted to share them with you.

    New Stripes and See you at Chili's on Sat in Maryland

    I have an e mail from Lee 2 pm at Chili's, then drive to the Mt Ariy cruise. I couldn't find anything on the forum about this so I don't have a confirmation.

    New Stripes and See you at Chili's on Sat in Maryland

    Thanks for all your comments. It looks better in person, the shades of the colors are hard to get in a photo.

    New Stripes and See you at Chili's on Sat in Maryland

    We just put some new stripes on our car. So what do you all think? It was hard to get true color in the pictures. This is the best we could do. Hello to the MD/VA VCA. We are new to the Viper world and will attend our first event this Saturday Aug 16 in Maryland. We are looking forward to...

    08 with different gears?

    Where do you buy the gears? I'm interested in 3.55 non-Quaife. When I search the web the gear sets are mostly for earlier gen Vipers. Don't flame me, I tried to search before asking. Thanks

    Passenger air bag

    Where is the on-off switch for the passenger air bag. The owner's manual says the center console, but it in no present in my 2008. I didn't see it in the glove compartment and not in the trunk. When someone is in the passenger seat the yellow light comes on that says the airbag is turned off...

    Another dead Venom Red 08'

    Deke01, thanks for your concern. My car was in the shop getting headers. What was Monday? Maybe you told me but I forgot. Thanks

    Another dead Venom Red 08'

    I feel the same way about the power curve. It comes on more like a high reving foreign car or a turbo car. I expected a flatter torque curve. I had more torque down low with a 383 Lingenfelter engine. I think the fast power rise makes the car less predictable.

    Another dead Venom Red 08'

    Have so many accidents happened with the earlier year Vipers? Do all the Vipers have a high accident rate? Just the 80? Or does it seem that way because the accidents are reported on this forum? When we first got our 08 the handling was very unstable and the car was scary. We got the wheels...

    Camera

    For the track I got a Sticky Pod set up, large suction cups and hardware, to mount a video camera on the windshield. It works but its a pain to set up, need to redo each time,and the suction cups only hold a short time.

    Ordered my supercharger and install from Woodhouse!

    Where did you get the stiched leather cover for the dash? I have been looking for something but only found carbon fiber. Thanks

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    Actually the dealer wanted more than 150K. He wanted MSRP plus 50K on top. The ZR1 is priced at about 103K and everyone will get the 10K option, so he wanted 113 + 50K, 163k total.

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    I don't see how you can go into 5th before the bridge. I got to just below 150 down the long straight, in 4th gear. Going into 5th before the bridge would be 150 or higher. I can agree I need more time in the Viper to increase the exit speeds.

    Sway Bars for 2008

    Paul, thanks. How do you adjust this with pressure? Maybe you can refer me to a book or web site on the principles of suspension adjustment? I can see my knowledge is limited. Thanks.
