    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    The Gen IV's that were turning those fast quarters were all convertables, which are lighter than the Gen IV coupe. What are the fastest verified times for a Gen IV coupe? In regards to the axle ratio and HP bump, the first gear ratio was made taller to compensate; the gen V still gets to 62 in...

    Dealer Cash Time On The Gen 5

    Percieved or not, SRT is a brand and is responsable for its own financial success or failure. Hence why Charger, Challenger, 300, and GC prices from SRT have increased dramatically... lower sales volume, but higher margins per vehicle. According to Ralph Gilles, CAFE has something to do with...

    Dealer Cash Time On The Gen 5

    If lazy, price-gouging, dealers quit ordering Vipers... then Vipers will be easier to obtain by those dealers who are doing work. If the dealers REALLY wanted to sell the cars, they'd take a page out of Woodhouse', Tomball's, etc. books and support the VCA, VCA, etc.

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    IIRC the Gen IV ACR had a 7:1 DF:Drag ratio, which is better than many, many race cars. Also, the wing was there primarily to balance the enormous amount of DF created by the front splitter and canards. What made the TA so remarkable around Laguna were its revised suspension geometry (more...

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    The only ones who have said the Viper is struggling are the media outlets, who are using the plant shutdown to get hits on their websites, and views on their Youtube accounts. SRT has orders for new Vipers, they don't want to build any more until some of the incompetent dealers get some of them...

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    Viper Scat Pack? could be installed pre-dealership for those who order custom cars from the factory could be available in stages but would have to retain factory warranty somehow.

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Do you seriously think that racing in LeMans will expose a significant number of people to the Gen V? LeMans may be the biggest GT race in the world, but not very many people are into the series (relatively). I would rather SRT focus their efforts in the ALMS series, where they have a better...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    the Viper is the Ernest Hemmingway of American supercars: Rugged masculine looks, No-nonsense performance, Reported dead, when it is in fact still alive. The Corvette is more F. Scott Fitzgerald

    pretty sure street mode stiffens if the car senses quick steering imputs either way.

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Well, when 50% of your development budget goes into programming government-mandated nannies, HP gains will suffer.

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Typically when CAAP shuts down or slows production, the workers are assimilated back into the general population, as they are the most-skilled workers FCA has. I doubt they will be layed off, but even if they are... that's what unemployment insurance is for.

    VIDEO: MOTORWEEK SRT VIPER T/A Road Test...

    How bad could you beat it up just tracking it? That's why it was built! Honestly, drag racing would probably be the only thing i'd be concerned about, especially the clutch.

    gt package

    That particular car has generated so much confusion... the Stryker Green and the GT package go together sure. but the prototype aero parts on the same car sends a mixed signal to potential customers i feel.

    Well it looks like the 911's early pit strategy worked out for it in the end... still can't complain too much about a second place finish. My condolences to the GT3-R team. such a tragedy that the flames took a good soldier...

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    And remember, The Gen 3/IV was designed as a vert primarily, and the Gen V chassis is a stiffened Gen IV chassis so the rigidity is already there for a Vert.

    Chassis Flex

    perhaps different parts of the chassis are bearing the load now that the front has stiffened?
