Thank you all for your replies. We are new to the Viper world and do not know the history. Feel free to send me private messages with more informaton.
Best wishes to all for the Holidays.
Hennessey has listed an upgrade for the 2008 to get 678 HP. Its all bolt ons. Headers, 3 inch exhaust high flow cats, etc.
Has anyone done this yet? Will it void the warrenty? Hennessey says it can be dealer installed.
It includes a rotor upgrade. Is this needed on a road track? Thanks...
Thanks, I almost feel like a wimp for not wanting the ACR. Actually the wife wants the ACR buut she has less common sense than me about cars. She already wants to go for the headers on the 08.
Yes I was asking about the S/C 06 but decided against it because the 08 should be better on the track. I'm keeping the Porsche as a daily driver, its great for that.
About getting rid of the Viper I don't think that will happen. I have been happy driving a heavily modded Lingenfelter and...
We have a 2008 on order, black. Since they are not building black yet we are considering an ACR version, but have several questions.
1. Can it be in solid color or with stipes like the normal Viper, if you can call any Viper a normal car?
2. Will the ground effects on the front hit speed...
Joe, thanks. I was wondering about this and now it makes more sense about no heat problems. This is a busy week for me and then I go away next week. My wife wanted me to fly down right away to see it but work and travel is in the way.
Thank you all for your responses. Please keep them coming. From the responses I've seen so far its a tough choice. We like both cars, the 08 and the Paxton 06.
Is there a cooling system upgrade that will keep it cool on the track?
Is there an intercooler upgrade?
Will the stock brakes...
We are planning on buying a 2008, its already on order. But this 2006 looks clean and modded as we would like. We have had many fast cars but we never had a Viper before and would like some advice.
The handling of the 2008 is reported to be superior to earlier years. How would this Viper with...
Why do you think doctors are easy on cars?
Hi to all, I’m marysc6, wife of vincy. I'm on his login. He made some posts because we ordered a 2008 Viper.
Now on to the “doctor” thing and about doctors being easy on cars. Vincy is a doctor and he is brutal on cars. We have been racing Vets at...
They look like wheels from CCW. I have a set on a Vet. They look good and are agressive looking, and easy to keep clean because of the mat finish. I think something like this but a little less busy would be good on a Viper.
We just saw this post about the ACR Viper, below. We have a 2008 Viper on order from Woodhouse, it will be out first Viper. We always liked out extreme cars, such as a Lingenfelter Vet and a Doug Rippie track-prep Vet, and never had too much HP, so we are not looking for a plush ride.
Our...
I'm new to this forum, so I didn't know this was a sore point. Don't beat on me too much. I agree, I didn't order a Viper to get cup holders, etc. Let's stop the thread here to aviod repeating old information. Thanks.
We have an 08 on order from Woodhouse, it will be out first Viper. Bill P. mentioned installation of traction control, first time I heard of this on a Viper. How many of you installed this? I have a lot of experience driving 500 hp Vets on a road course. Its east to kick out the rear end on the...
We ordered a black one with dark sivler strips from Bill Pemberton, 5 spoke wheels. He said they would put in 5 or 6 point restraints for us. The wife wants the car to look as wicked as possible, I'm a lucky man.
Has anyone seen the violet color in person? In some pictures it looks dark and...
We just ordered our 2008 Viper and would like to get a Viper magazine. Does the magazine come with joining the VCA? Are there other Viper magazines? I looked at the VCA web site and couldn't find the answer. Thanks.
We still need help with the ordering details. Some of our questions were answered in the link below. We put a deposit on a 2008, but need to make some decisions.
There are only small pictures of the wheels. We only found small pictures and cannot see well enough to select one.
We will be...
