    Sway Bars for 2008

    Dan, I had a very experienced racer drive my car, he thought it needed a stiffer sway bar for the front. I had the impression something could be better, but I don't have the experience base to know for sure. It seems to me the car feels more planted on turn in when driven hard, but doesn't feel...

    Sway Bars for 2008

    In the Corvette world many drivers put in stiffer sway bars. I don't see this on this Viper forum. Do you guys, and girls, add stiffer sway bars? What about on the 2008? If so, where do you get them? I found one on PartsRack but I don't know if that one is a big improvement. Thanks

    3.55 gear for sale...

    Jon, can you tell me the top speed in each gear or at some rpm? I'd like to change the gearing in my 08 but don't want to get out of 4th. So I'd like a speed about 150 in 4th at 6000 rpm. Thanks

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    Yes, it is crumbling in 5. There used to ba concrete but now its asphalt. I thinks its crumbling in more than one place as the car was bouncing. Because it was a new car I was more focused on looking forward so I don't have more details. The video camera got shifted so I only have partial video...

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    Hi Dan, yes I'm the guy you met. I must have been coming out of the corners too slow so the engine speed was down. We were at the Mt Arie cruse in last night. See you next time, track or cruise in.

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    Johnk, thanks. We are thinking headers and gears and hope to get a ride back to Woodhouse. Does wht Quaife help with an 08? I thought maybe the rear end was improved for this generation? Thanks

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    My wife wanted to get the ACR. I thought it was "too much" for the street. She was right, we should have gotten the ACR. Is the rear end ratio different on the ACR?

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    Hello to all. We got our first Viper a short time ago from Woodhouse, with Motons but the rest is stock. We read all the stuff about it being hard to drive and spin outs without warning, so we were nervous about going to the track. But we took the Viper to the track anyway and drove it quite a...

    MORE SRT-10 FILTER DYNO RESULTS

    You guys seem to know each other's cars. What year car was tested? Has anyone done this test on an 08? Please explain smooth tubes? Is the K and N the one with a Y shape on the Parts Rack site. Don't flame me, I'm new to the viper world. Thanks.

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    I agree, this thought is pushing me to get headers and stripes. Since its will see track time, no supercharger. We had the 08 Viper at a cruise in and had people talking to us the entire time.

    In car video camera question

    Thanks for the thread. I was getting tired of tape and thinking of a disk video camera, but now I see it would have been a waste. I never had a vibration problem with a Sony video camera.

    We are thinking about sending the 08 back to Woodhouse for headers. Your post makes them sound like the way to go.

    The 08 ACR Is A Bargain Compared To This

    I had a deposit on a ZR1. The dealer called and offered it for 150K, I turned this down. I was told he is selling a lot at 150k. This pricing has made me appreciate the 08 Viper more. I agree that the ZR1 didn't come out as much as a race car as I expected.

    Anyone UseThis?

    I got it and tested it on a piece of plastic. The coating looked a little to dark and I didn't want dimmer headlights and didn't use it.

    Viper Events at Summit Point WV

    Deke01, that is what my wife says, there are so many vets no one notices you. She pushed me to get the Viper. I can believe 160 on the straights. I got to 150 in my Turbo Porsche and I'm not a great driver.

    Gear Change and Speed in a 2008

    We are considering changing to a higher gear ratio. We have a 2008 and I think the rear end is 3.07. What is the top speed in each gear? I think I'll hit 150 on the straight at Summit Point and I don't want to shift into fifth. I thought there was a sticky with all this info but I...

    Viper Events at Summit Point WV

    Thanks for the response. We are at FATT and Seat Time very often. What car do you drive? Maybe we know you. We have driven several cars there, a silver Vet, and red Vet and a Porsche Turbo.

    Which Track set up May 26 at Pocono

    Thank you all for your responses. We can't attend, my wife is having surgery today. She likes cars and is the reason we got the Viper, she wanted one. She goes to all the track days with me. We hope to meet you all next year.

    Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

    I agree, I think the gearing is too high. What is involved in changing to a 3.33? Thanks

    Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

    Thanks for all your comments. We will be running the car at Summit Point and figure we will hit 150 mph on the long straight. Can someone direct me to the top speed in each gear with the 3.07 and a 3.33? I don't want to shift into 5th? Thanks
