    Buying a Gen IV Viper next weekend, need help!

    Hoboken, I live in houston, many hot days. I almost always drive with the windows open and A/C on fan speed 3. With the windows up the cabin gets cold. Make sure you have it set in recirculate mode.

    Porsche 918 Spyder breaks Ring record

    I was wondering the same thing. Probably removing downforce for the long straight? Didn't look as hairy as the ACR run, but he was also able to keep both hands on the wheel the entire time...just saying.

    The one thing I absolutely love about my Viper...

    During the winter months I love the warm air that comes into the window from the hood vents. Can keep the windows down all winter to hear that sweet sound.

    Would you be ok if this was added to the viper

    The scariest times on the track for me are downshifting into corners (that require gear change). If I don't execute perfectly I unbalance the car. F1 type shifting would alleviate most of that, no clutch on the floor to get just right. Having said that, I will stay with the stick since it does...

    Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper

    Tony, I Forgot to mention I installed Belanger headers and exhaust. The reason I had the engine work done was, long story short, due to bad cam sensor. After much analysis Star said to send motor to Arrow for tear down. So, while it was apart went with recommendation to upgrade internals. While...

    Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper

    Tony, I'll join. But my 2010 went to Arrow and had forged internals plus ACR X lifters installed and Mopar PCM. May be similar to the 2013 in power but gearing is stock. Not exactly the test you want but I would like to compare. John

    Problem with my ACR

    Sounds familiar. Mine did not have to go to redline to cause the problem. It repeated after every thing we did. It wasn't until Arrow Racing tested numerous cam sensors did the problem go away (yes, they rebuilt the motor too, but perhaps that was not necessary, although I was the happy...

    Running straight pipes on my Gen 4

    I got a bonus at work and dropped it on Belanger headers and exhaust. Man it sounds so dang sweet, and loud. I had an old lady in a car behind me at a light waving frantically every time I blipped the throttle. I almost felt bad.

    Problem with my ACR

    So, I had a very similar problem. Replaced cam sensor, still there, replaced PCM, still there, replaced wiring harness still there, sent motor to Arrow Racing and they rebuilt it, shipped it back with a spare cam sensor. They said that the cam sensors are very fault intolerant, and that they...

    2013 Dodge SRT Viper: A Speed Demon With Too Much Engine

    Dude, you should be a journalist! Nice! Every time I pass a Prius I hit the throttle hard just to make sure I use as much gas in that instant as the Prius driver saved all month.

    Yamaha R1 vs. Dodge Viper - CRASH!

    His line into the corner forced him to make a sharper/more sudden turn in than necessary which upset the balance, then as redtan said he probably lifted, and then his rear got in the dirt and it was all over...sorry to see that. It can happen as easily as you saw there. Be safe out there...

    Clutch Wear Question

    Basic rule...the clutch should only be engaged to change gears, and for as little time as necessary. At lights put it in neutral.

    What does the dipstick tell me?

    Yeah, good point. I know I'm not burning oil...where the heck is it going? I do track it every couple months and drive it like I stole it. I don't think much if any is coming out the filter at the top of the can since I neither smell oil nor feel any around the area of the can. Perhaps I am...

    What does the dipstick tell me?

    Good suggestions, thank you. I will try the 15 mintues and then if that doesn't work I will rough up the stick.

    What does the dipstick tell me?

    I do the same...check it 5 or 6 times! Okay, so I do agree that one side looks like it may have dragged, that is the side with the higher level showing...thanks for the feedback. Looks like I am two quarts low. Since I installed a catch can, I have to add more oil between changes.

    What does the dipstick tell me?

    When I pull the dipstick to see what the oil level is, one side of the stick is different than the other. For example, one side shows I am below the bottom "safe" line/zone, the other shows it above the top of the safe zone. What the heck. I have tried turning the stick, pulling it out quickly...
