    When will the convertible Gen5 be available?

    6 months ago when I had missed out on ordering a Viper and thought there was no way I'd be able to get one this year (pretty funny now looking back at my anxiety over it how that mess has turned out for everyone) I looked long and hard at a glass roof GT500. Half of my cars in the past have...

    SRT Viper Book - Maurice Liang

    Has anyone received the book when buying the car? I have not but I didnt order the car, so do all buyers get it or just those who order?

    911 4s or viper

    I've never driven a single Porsche so my opinion is only based on visuals. To me every Porsche looks exactly the same, just add a few extra vents or ground effects or wings and they're slightly different models. Every time I see one I say 'Eh, a Porsche', not 'OMG It's a GT3'. I have a...

    Quick note for those considering this, do it ASAP before you get too many miles on your car. I'm at 850 miles and getting the front, partial hood, and behind the tires professionally installed tomorrow so tonight I just went over those areas to make sure they were very clean. What I found was...

    Launch!

    So now that we have a button for launch control, who's actually tried using it? Any luck with it working? I have not tried it yet nor have I tried launching the car from a stop without it. All WOT pulls I've done have been after I'm already rolling.

    Passenger Seat Ratlle?

    Check that the seat belt isn't wedged between the seat and the door. I think mine rattled once because of that but since have not heard anything. I'd also try repositioning the seat, maybe there's something odd about the angle of the back hitting behind the seat that's causing it.

    Just got New Custom Floormats (Lloyd's Ultimat) - Pics

    When the gas pedal is fully pushed in does it contact the floor mat? That's the only reason I could think of for the weird shape of the stock mats.

    Pictures of Red/Black SRT

    Car looks great! It's funny you mention those scrapers/feelers. I've decided those things are going to be my safety net for ground clearance. They scrape for a split second when I enter my driveway so I'm familiar with the sound, so now I just listen for that everywhere to know if I'm being...

    eek

    It shouldn't even need a heat gun. Some fishing line behind the letters should take it off quickly, and with the car being so new I wonder if you'll even have any tape residue.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    If you're looking for a track only car you might be right. Mechanically not much has changed so you may as well go with the cheaper alternative. To me the 13 is so much more than that though. When you look at the classics that have aged beautifully they have it all. Powerful engine and...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Is my post invisible to you? The 08 dyno'd an hour after I did. Temps went up by 4* with no other changes in humidity or pressure between my run and the 08.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    A few more details: - Torque on Run 1 was 485 and Run 2 it was 492. - Both pulls were with the hood closed - The shop only had a small fan, one that blew air into the radiator. A big one providing some cool fresh air for the intake would have been nice, but not available.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    I've been too busy with work this week to post my own thread, but last weekend I had mine dyno'd (on a Dynojet) with 600 miles on it. The results were odd, the first pull was 506 and pull #2 increased to 529. It seems like something caused timing to be pulled on run 1 but I have no idea what...

    SRT vs GTS seat height adjustment?

    Yes. And they take <2 minutes to take out.

    Cool Stryker Red Video

    Agreed with the last two posters. I feel like I'm slamming the trunk to get it to close, otherwise it doesn't latch all the way down. This one takes more force than any other car I've owned.

    Couldn't be the OP's, the one in that video is the elusive 2014 Viper! :)

    DV400069 Is home.

    Yes, it's a perfect fit. I installed mine at the dealership before even driving off the first time.

    DV400069 Is home.

    Re: DV400069 Is home.... Beautiful car! And I think inside that bag is supposed to be the radar detector power wire that you can hook up to the rear view mirror.

    Last week I ordered a 3' x 2' piece of Xpel Ultimate with the intention of of using it on the door sills. I just finished the install this afternoon and I must say it was a huge success! When I picked up the car I immediately had the aluminum VIPER door sill plates installed (GTS has these...

    Few questions about viper before I order one

    I have Invo's on my daily driver and they're an ok tire. Not great, not terrible. It's a 375 rwhp G8 GT with 285/35/19s in the rear and during the first 5k miles of life they hold up great. After that they lose their grip and will spin easily from a stop. With the power the Viper is making I...

    Question on Mixing fuels

    To confirm then, you don't think they made any programming changes that would allow the PCM to increase timing on it's own past the minimum 91 octane? I've always filled my cars up w/ 93 but there's a station about 10 miles away with 100. If SRT was smart with the new PCMs and it would take...

    Black GTS from Long Island to Jersey

    Awesome ride. The gunmetal stripes work so perfect with black it's amazing. And I'm jealous of your red/black interior. I wish SRT would have offered up that interior on the base cars, even if the red center console and door pieces would have been done in fau leather like the rest of the dash...
