Re: How much will it weigh (08\' Viper)
I dropped 25 lbs on a C5 corvette by going to non runflats.
The C5 Z06 also showed that it saved 25LBs by going from the runflats to the non runflats. (the viper tires are much larger so theorically the weight savings might be more than the C5 to C5...
Re: How much will it weigh (08\' Viper)
I believe the most important weight reduction is the unsprung weight loss from ditching the runflats..
Years back I had a C5 corvette that I dumped the runflats for non runflats and the handling and ride difference was AMAZING! The ride turned to...
nice evolutionary upgrade to the already impressive srt/10.
The hp and the visual differences are easily within the reach of any 03 to 06 viper owner should they want a similar vehicle to the 08.
I personally find it hard to believe most owners of the 500 hp V10 srt/10 would feel the need to...
For all the talk about a viper being uncivilized I have to say I was surprised. I drove my friends viper and quite honestly it was a lot more civilizied than I thought.
I think all the talk about an uncivilized beast are doing the viper srt/10 an injustice...I thought the viper was quite...
I forgot to mention years back I dumped the C5 corvette runflats on my 1999 C5 and replaced them with NON runflats.
I could not believe how much smoother and silkier the car drove. I got the feeling the car dropped 500 lbs...
It rode so much better. It make the car feel as though it shrunk...
Theres always someone faster etc..
The acceleration of the quartermile is overrated..as a few tenths of a second one way or the other don't really matter that much.
Once a car goes over 400 hp it is my belief off the line acceleration is more a matter of driver skill and tires...
If I...
Vipers are totally insane looking exotica.

Interesting perspective and very much on target.

I did the same thing last week. Stalled the car, then for about 20 miles the check engine light came on. I stopped into the dealership, they plugged it in and found out that it threw a code for "no power to the crank". The viper tech thought this was wierd since it started fine. Anyway he reset...
