    Gen IV ACR suspension on a Gen III

    Thanks guys. I was considering the takeoffs because of the $2,500 price, but I can get V2's from Jon for $3,200. What would be the difference between V2's and V3's with the V2 springrates? It seems like I would get the same basic thing but with more adjustability.

    Gen IV ACR suspension on a Gen III

    I have an 03 with bolt-ons (480rwhp and 506rwtq). I am happy with the suspension, but the track use it sees and the 32k on the odometer makes me think an upgrade would help the car and keep me safer. I am considering a switch to a set of ACR takeoffs and want to know what to expect. I know it...

    door speakers

    Wow. I thought you guys were crazy but then i went and checked for myself...you guys are right. My Viper does have a stereo. I guess I just never noticed.

    What would you like to see as the NEW Engine for the Gen V Viper?

    I like the idea of mixing the simplicity and proven dependability of the current pushrod single-cam setup, with the efficiency of direct injection. The car would make more power, run slightly cooler, and be more fuel efficient.

    Motor Trend says 2013 will have the 6.4 V8

    Dear Motor Trend, The new Viper is going to totally suck. It's going to have the engine out of a 2003 Plymouth Breeze, weigh 4,800lbs, and look almost exactly like a Pontiac Aztec. -Daniel Akerson

    ACR KW Suspension for 2003-2010 Vipers

    How would the springrate compare to 03 stock units?

    Well, Here it is!

    I was not one of the people who had a problem with the appearance. I only care about whether or not they will make my car safer at the track. I would like you to post a picture of what these will look like when shipped. That way I can see what hardware they come with and what kind of safety...

    An all Viper Lemons team? Snake drivers wanted for Charlotte Motor Speedway!

    I am fielding a team in the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on 9/24-25. A couple of my teammates backed out and I am in dire need of some replacement drivers. I am new to the Viper community and think an all Viper owner team would be a good introduction into the community...

    Center Dash Panel Crack

    Thanks for the advice, but I want to keep the stock look. I was hoping that someone who made the switch would have a stock unit taking up space in their garage that I could buy off of them...any takers?

    Center Dash Panel Crack

    Bizump! Ok, so I guess this was either related to heat or a hasty stereo installation. Either way, can anyone help me out with the other two questions. Does anyone have a spare to spare, and does anyone know how I can track down some replacement bolts?

    Center Dash Panel Crack

    Could have been from the stereo install I guess. Previous owner had it done.

    Center Dash Panel Crack

    I have a bulge and two cracks in the center dash panel of my 03. The bulge is between the two bottom gauges and the cracks are at the top and bottom of the bulge. All this can kinda be seen in the following pics: I am going to install some dynaliner under the center console to mitigate the...

    Looking to trade H Spoke Wheels

    I have the standard wheels on my 03 (5 spoke?). I would love to take those h-spokes off your hands but I would have to be a part of some kind of 3 team trade.

    Car running sluggish, time for a tune up?

    My cats were terrible (clogged, busted weld between upper and lower) and I never got a CEL. Lundqvist, I'm not trying to be rude but you seem to not know much about cars. I would suggest that you take it to a very good shop or a dealer to have it looked at. DIY can cost you a lot more in...

    Well, Here it is!

    Thanks. I'm still unsure of how your chromoly hoops attach to the car. I think you said they use the same brackets as the stock piece. Does this mean you ship them attached to these brackets already, or that I would have to remove the stock hoop from my brackets and replace it with the...

    hood up after drive?

    Yup. The engine bay is going to start cooling as soon as you shut the engine off. The reason you let the engine run a while after a hard track session is to start that cooling process off gradually. I tend to think it's best to continue that process in the most gradual manner possible. Or...

    hood up after drive?

    There have been multiple studies conducted on this issue, the most recent being conducted by the Deutsche-Baeg Automotive Research Institute in Kassel Germany. While the study focused primarily on European automobiles, I believe it's findings are relative to this discussion. The researchers...

    Well, Here it is!

    We are on the same page. However, I do think a road course will let you on when they see that you have substantial modified roll hoops. If for no other reason than they will assume you have a roll bar. I believe that the hoop could be stronger than the autoform when it comes to downward...

    Well, Here it is!

    I agree with your above statement. I would like to see the pics I mentioned for my own piece of mind.

    Well, Here it is!

    I agree. I track my 03 in stock configuration so this is obviously an upgrade. And the price of the autoform +shipping +install (seems a little much for DIY) is prohibitive. But I need more protection. Even though I drive with common sense and have never left a (dry) track with all 4 wheels...
