    Paxton results on my '06 coupe - 672 rwhp 612 ft-lbs

    What kind of dyno was that? The 421 seems a tad low, no? The 672 sure sounds good though!

    E10 Ethanol Blend and Engine Performance . . .

    I'm not sure what the impact of that fuel is on your car, but I would suggest dynoing with that fuel to make sure its safe if you will be running it in the future.

    2006 Bucking/Surging Paxton

    I've had bucking problems in previous cars due to improperly gapped plugs (or maybe just plugs that failed). That could be an easy check, but I'd also have your tune looked at.

    Re: Another Viper Is Probably Done In 09 Tid Bit! why would dodge need to test a new engine? The new kicks major butt!

    My '08 is broken-in and wow!

    sounds like your tire pressure is good (better for traction). I'm not surprised the car has no traction. I'd consider switching to a drag radial if you could.

    Does this SRT appear to have spacers??

    I ran spacers on my cobra. It wasn't a problem. You need a hubcentric spacer made specifically for the car though, not just any spacer. The particularly unsafe spacers are the generic ones made to fit any car. Also, you may need longer lugs as well to make up for the extended reach. That...

    Race Logic traction control

    Absolutely the tires will give you better acceleration than the traction control. The traction control only allows you to use the full potential of your tires. The stickier tires give you more potential to put the power down than the weak stock tires.

    610 HP

    I think his RPM band is not where the peak torque was. I remember reading the RPM the peak torque appeared at being in the 4000-4500 range, but can't remember exactly. At that RPM range this peak torque would be possible.

    Ran a [email protected] mph, beat a NEW ZO6

    I don't think 10's will be quite possible. 1.6's with some drag radials would be very good, and still at least a few tenth's away from running 10's. With slick's I'd say it might be possible, but probably not on DR's.

    Ran a [email protected] mph, beat a NEW ZO6

    Nice runs, and excellent job with the Z06. Were you on stock tires?

    Unbelievable power to weight ratio

    yeah, once they are heat soaked the power goes down. But during the first pull or 1/4 mile run, they make a fair amount more power.

    Unbelievable power to weight ratio

    I've seen Ford GT's dyno 550rwhp stock. So, the viper would have to clear that mark at 3400 lbs to have a better ratio. But I don't think power is going to help ET's much anymore. TRACTION is the biggest issue. The car that can put the power to the ground better is the car that will be...

    Viper SRT Herk & Jerk

    yep, installing a lighter flywheel will make it worse. Anyone ever tried changing plugs? I've had this happen on other cars, and putting a larger gap on my plugs really helped. Plus, new plugs can smooth out the idle anyway, which helps a bit. You never know if one of your plugs was bad...

    Top Gear review: Viper SRT-C

    Wow, I normally like top gear, but that article was terrible. Not only a bad article, but terribly written, and just a bore to read.

    Less than 115 Coupes available

    Agreed, these cars will be gone before the 08's have a chance to significantly influence sales.

    Thinking about renting a Gen3 in vegas

    Has anyone done this? And if so, do you have a company you would recommend to rent from? Before I take the plunge and purchase a viper, I think a full day test drive would be a great idea to make sure this is the car for me. So far, this is the best deal I've found. The car comes with 100...

    Drove an SRTC today...

    I thought the vert and coupe were supposed to weigh the same? You are right about the coupe being slower. The mags that tested both reported just slightly slower 1/4 mile times in the coupe than in the vert.

    What are the differences?????

    Those are some pretty minor differences. The knock sensor would be good insurance though.

    RE: Spy Shot of 2008 Viper

    DCX was probably just testing the drive train, so no need for final body panels to be on the car. It only has a new hood as the ITB's require more room under the hood.

    What is the history of warranty claims due to hard use?

    I've also heard of insurance carriers dropping your insurance or denying claims saying you were racing. They've gone to the track and taken pictures of license plates. Me personally, I remove license plates when at the track just to play it safe.

    HP/Weight Ratio to be limited by the government?

    I wouldn't agree with putting a limit on it. Japan has a HP limit, and it's like ~290hp or some lame crap like that. So no ferrari's, no vipers, no lambo's, etc. That would suck big time. But perhaps there should be some sort of tier system, where a 13 sec can't be less than a certain...

    Paxton SC Air/Fuel dyno help

    No matter what car, when you are dealing with serious power, I NEVER skimp on tuning. If it were me, I'd go for the AEM, just as I know that it would protect your engine (potentially saving you thousands in repairs). I'm not totally sure how the split sec box works, but it sounds like it can...
