    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    I too am a little disappointed with the position Randy has taken with respect to the Viper. If nothing else, it would be nice to see him promoting "home grown" talent over European talent. I realize that there has to be some level of objectivity when he reviews cars, and he shouldn't be...

    New GenV owner. Help!

    I looked very seriously at the Gallardo, and just like you, there's no question I made the right decision. I hope your door switch is behaving. Cheers.

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    Just a follow up on this. I changed my transmission fluid out this afternoon for Royal Purple Max ATF, and when I opened the fill hole I noted that the fluid was not 1/4 inch below but more like 1/2 or 3/4 inch below. I filled the transmission, and also serviced the diff as well. I will report...

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    I have been experiencing a related situation with my 2013 GTS. It just started a few days ago, although, I've only had the car for a month and I may have not noticed it before. When I go to select reverse, I get blocked out occasionally. Not all the time, but about 50% of the time. The...

    Gen V as a DD?

    I had read, before buying the car, that the pedals were offset to the left, and that kind of turned me off the car. Then, I forgot all about it, and bought the car. I drove it for several days, not remembering that I had read that somewhere before the purchase. I didn't even notice it at all...

    Gen V as a DD?

    It's a little unnerving right? Man oh man, I guess it's just something we're going to have to get used to. Cheers.

    2013 GTS Canadian spec?

    I went out and checked. The mph/km/h is only changed under the numbers for the centre display. The left sweep needle display remains in km/h. I'm not sure what it would cost to get that changed, but I'm sure it isn't cheap.

    2013 GTS Canadian spec?

    Hi Donzi, I own a Canadian spec 2013 GTS. Here are my thoughts. First, although you can cycle from mph to km/h on the instrument cluster, it is displayed in two places. One, on the left, which is the old standard sweeping needle, and I can't see that changing from Km/h to mph, but the...

    Gen V as a DD?

    I think Nine Ball has probably hit on the only downside, if there is one to this car. It's not a downside for me, because I enjoy talking to people about the car, and I don't mind waving to the kids who either wave from the sidewalk or out of the back seats of their parent's car. But, if...

    Gen V as a DD?

    Or, you can take the bus, or ride your bicycle. The choices abound. :D

    Gen V as a DD?

    For obvious reasons, the Viper isn't necessarily a good DD for everyone. If you have to carry more than one other person for business meetings etc., or if you have to transport items that won't fit in the back, then clearly it isn't going to work for you as a DD. For me, it works perfectly. I...

    Gen V as a DD?

    I've been in the same boat. I've owned Honda CX 650E, 600 Hurricane (showing my age......), CBR 900RR, CBR 929RR, GSX-R 750 ('88, '96), Kawasaki Ninja ('89, '91), Ducati 900SS, and Ducati 999, and a few others. This car is every bit as quick as the fastest of those bikes, which I believe was...

    Gen V as a DD?

    I DD my 2013 GTS without any trouble 5 days a week. The car is comfortable and the a/c is phenomenal.

    Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature etc

    Re: Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature Thanx for your thoughts Paul. Your approach is completely in line with what my plan was if I didn't have any "hard numbers" to reference. I've noticed that the normal operating temperature for the oil is...

    Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature etc

    Re: Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature Gotcha. I am extremely respectful when it comes to the operation of my toys. You're right. I'll just use my good ole' common sense "limitations" unless told otherwise. Cheers guys.

    Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature etc

    Re: Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature That is a good approach Bobpantax and I do the same. I guess I'm just "nerding out" with all the great tech this car has to offer. It seems such a waste if the information being provided doesnt relate to any...

    Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature etc

    Re: Are there Normal Operating "Limitations" for my Viper? Oil pressure, temperature Yeah, I've searched with no luck. Good to hear you track your car. You're lucky. The nearest track to me is 3 1/2 hours away. I have absolute faith in the powertrain in this car. I've been researching...
