    Bike Rack?

    I can't seem to find the site, but I remember a place that sold a bike rack for the Viper. They also had a trailer hitch, brush guard, hydraulic winch, and a lift kit so you could put some of those monster truck tires on it. I'll keep looking so that I can get an address or phone number for...

    600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon

    Re: 600 Hp plus is coming from Dodge soon I think the more angular Gen III looks great. Of course, people have different tastes. For example, I wouldn't be caught dead in a PT cruiser and if through some misalignment of the stars I found myself owning one, I certainly wouldn't list it in my...

    anyone tried the mopar exhaust systerm?

    If it's any help I have the Borla. If it's the same as the Mopar then there shouldn't be any problem with resonance. Mine sounds fantastic. Dirk

    How much weight? How much money?

    "You're just a little off with your facts. IF you took the standard C6 and added: Bigger Wheels Bigger Tires Bigger Engine Dry sump oiling system Bigger Brakes The car would weigh MORE than a Viper." I'm not off with "my" facts. GM is the source that claims going to an aluminum frame, and...

    How much weight? How much money?

    Just to add a little perspective the Z06, that several of you seem to be using as an example, went to an aluminum frame, cf fenders, hood and flooring and saved a grand total of 80 lbs. Do I want to add $7500 to the price to save 80 lbs? No. Some of you may, but I would think DC would realize...

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    For the record, I wasn't ragging on sween. Sween's posts have been very favorable to the Viper and it is clear he's a Viper lover and not a Vette troll. I was pointing out that there are numerous posts on here about the Z06. They are either 1. "The sky is falling, the Viper program is dead, DC...

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    What do you expect with about 3 million Vette owners out there? With that many of them there are bound to be a handful that are big enough *sses to troll on the Viper board and be jerks. I've owned several Vettes. Nice cars. Several of my friends own them. Nice people. I'm just saying that...

    For those of you who have gone to 3.55s, where did you get it done and about what did it cost? Dirk

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    Vipah, for once I was on the same side of this fight as you are. The Z06 may well end up being 'faster', but right now I know of no side by side test of a production Z06 and a production Viper. I'm not in denial, you are just making assumptions that the Z06 is faster based on different tests...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    If I wanted to know about the interior of a Supra then I'd go to the Supra forum. You may find that there aren't a lot of people that check the GenIII Viper forum to hear about Toyotas. You may also find that even though your dispute is with 1 person, your responses on a VIPER FORUM may not be...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    Todd: You think a fat boy, custom or not draws crowds, but a GenIII won't? Wow. I've had, and still have a lot of bikes. Some of them have been fantastically modded. Never, ever, have I owned a bike that attracted attention like my Viper. The GenIII, like has been discussed on here ad...

    Throttle Response

    Reading several of the posts on here today got me in the mood. So I went home and got the Viper and headed back to work. I noticed something that may be a problem and thought I'd hit up the collective intellect of this group. When I let off the throttle the engine revs stayed the same for...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    What weed is referring to: "though not quite a match for its cross-town Mopar rival, the Dodge Viper SRT-10. Our vBox test gear clocked a 4.2-second 0-60 run, nearly reaching this speed in 1st gear, where the Dodge sprints there in 4.0; likewise, the Z06 dispatches the quarter-mile in 12.3...

    THE NEW Z06 IS FASTER THAN THE VIPER

    This is the most constructive thread I've read since I purchased my Viper and discovered the forum. Let me chime in here, although I'm sure much of this is redundant. 1. Congrats to Chevy for coming up with a car that 'may' perform as well (stock vs. stock) as my Viper. I say may because we...

    Autoweek on Coupe

    "winner's circle" Which of your cars do you race Mopar426? Can you tell me where the new Z06 has raced against the GenIII Viper and ended up in the "winner's circle"? I assume you are referring to the "winner's circle jerk" where people sit around talking about stats reported in different...

    Autoweek on Coupe

    When they run them on the same day on the same surface under the same conditions then you can get your little panties in a knot. Until then, who cares? Come to think of it who cares anyway? The new Vette will certainly outperform your GTS, but somehow I'm guesssing you wouldn't be willing to...

    Why does the SRT 10 gets no love around the RT 10/GTS crowd.

    Lee is like a lot of the rest of us. He loves Vipers. I see a lot of cross-generational respect on here. Of course, just like anywhere else there are a handful of idiots. From time to time these guys get one of us to bite and they go on and on with childish, illogical and nonsensical insults...

    0-100 MPH: SRT10 Coupe and Z06 - dyno sheet...

    Re: 0-100 MPH: SRT10 Coupe and Z06 "As far as a stock SRT walking an 06 Z06...LOL thats funny. " Until we see side by side testing on the same day then who is to say that's so funny? All of these magazine races are truly funny to me. The Vette guys, like SurfnSun, take the fast Vette numbers...

    SRT's are not Photogenic

    Re: SRT\'s are not Photogenic I always loved the look of the GTS. The SRT-10 didn't grab me the same way, until I saw one in person. Strangely the first time I saw an SRT-10 in person was AFTER I had bought mine and took delivery. What a good call. The car is incredible in person. I have...

    Why no official release on Coupe performance?

    The convertible is already very, very rigid. Far more than the previous coupe versions. We are nearing the point of diminishing returns. I don't believe that you will see much of an improvement do to more rigidity. However, at higher speeds I'd bet the slightly better aero will lead to...

    Age old question.....what exhaust do I get.

    I did the Borla exhaust. I love it. No heat issues and a much deeper, better sound, but not insanely loud. More importantly I noticed a bit more power. Dirk

    Truth is out production Ford GT test autowk [email protected]

    My letter cancelling my Autoweek subscription: (By the way Autoweek has been going steadily downhill. The quality of the magazine is nasty. It is a poseur magazine and I was going to cancel anyway.) I also am canceling my subscription to your magazine. How anyone could think that any review...

    "A Merger of Equals"

    Re: safireviper said, "Sales of the SRT-10 are WAY off" Without getting into an argument about your other points, I just thought I'd point out that you are incorrect. The SRT-10 is selling in higher numbers and at a higher rate than previous Vipers. However, DC made a big mistake when they...
