    Dealer advise in Socal

    I purchased my Gen V locally and have taken the car back to where I purchased the car a couple of time for minor work but am not impressed w/ the service so I wonder where in Socal I can take my car to for some work - misfit interior door panel that squeaks and drives me crazy and replace a...

    Another great review of the TA

    Probably a repost but I don't remember seeing the article before so sorry if it is. Autoblog has a great review of the TA and the writer's comments are spot on, especially about the sweet handling of the car. After doing an autocross event, driving the car at ten tenth, I can say the car is...

    Chassis Flex

    i've noticed since new, I seem to hear more creaks and squeaks from the chassis when I pull onto driveways and ramps than from my old Gen 4 ACR over the same driveways. The new chassis is suppose to be stiffer but my experience is telling me otherwise, at least from the back half of the car...

    Short Shift Knob

    Has anyone tried the MGW short shift knob yet? I wonder how much shorter is the MGW knob than the OEM Gen V shift knob. I am looking to cut the height by about 1 inch. Here's the MGW knob:

    Where can I find ststs on the different models???

    I meant for the SRT, TA, and GTS models, where can I find: 1. spring rates - F&R 2. sway bar sizes 3. downforce vs. speed graph 4. lateral acceleration from the factory 5. stopping distance from the factory 6. 0 - 60 time (Porsche always provide it, but does SRT do that too?) etc. etc.

    Good news on R888 345/30-19's

    I've read about the R888's being available in 345/30-19's for quite a while but after months of waiting, I still don't see them being offered for us so I wrote Toyo and here's what I got back from them: Thank you for contacting Toyo Tires USA. Toyo Tires is now producing the Proxes R888 in...

    First impression of my new TA

    OK guys this is by no means a review of the TA, but rather a first impression of the car as compared to a Gen 4. I got the car 2 days ago, so with only 150 miles on the car so far, here's what I like and dislike about the car... Likes: -Seats now can go up and down and hold me in place much...

    How does the TA ride as compared to SRT, GTS, and ACR

    I've been looking at the TA as a replacement for my ACR and plan to put a lot more street miles on the TA, and wonder if you guys can chime in as to how the TA rides with the new shock settings vs. the SRT and GTS, but especially how it compares to the Gen 4 ACR, or better yet the Gen 4 ACR with...

    I don't want the Gen V Coupe, but....

    But since I already have the Gen 4 ACR and still loving it so much, and I don't see owning both coupes at the same time, I'd rather wait for a Vert, maybe one with the flappy paddle gearbox so the wife can drive it. How long will I have to wait for that? Any rumored release dates?

    ACR Front Sway Bar Question

    I run 18x13" OZ wheels for autox and found even though the 335-18 A6 on the OZ rims clears the front fenders just fine, the OZ's rub against the front sway bar slightly at full lock. And I wonder if the ACR's front sway bars are solid and if it is okay to put a small notch in it to clear the...

    Mopar ECU going into Limp Mode again.....

    I've already switched back to the factory thermostat but the Mopar ECU is still so overly protective and would go into limp mode if I hit the rev limited for longer than say just a split second. Sometimes while on track and right before or while at a turn, I prefer not to upshift and hit the...

    335/30-18 fits...

    Two pieces of information I'd like to share with you all: 1. 335/30-18 A6's do fit in the front of my GenIV ACR, but with very slight rubbing at full lock. Your fitment, of course may vary as the actual fitment depends on your ride height, wheel offset, alignment, etc. etc. In other words...

    Homemade Viper Office Chair

    I've seen a few threads about Viper Office Chairs and some selling for as much as $1500. I so happen to have an extra chair taken off from my '08 and would like to turn it into an office chair. Has anyone of you done that and what is a good chair base to use. Instead of using wood to...

    DC Performance doesn't just do Vipers

    Forum sponsor DC Performance doesn't just work on Vipers and Dodges. They are also quite handy with makes as they recently retuned my Ford GT and picked up a good 50 HP. Here's the video of the tune: YouTube - dcperformance's Channel Thank you Dan, Chris and crew for doing such a great job.

    I wnat this ACR Truck or should I call it ADR

    ADR for American Desert Racer. I am no good with Photochop but can someone put a driver's strip or make the truck red w/ black sides or black w/ red sides please. Also can SRT do their magic and put a Viper motor in this thing so that I can park it in my driveway next year??? Here's more...

    Finally got a Racing Seat to fit in my ACR

    After looking for months I finally decided to take a chance on a Cobra Racer Pro seat. Knowing that this seat was designed to fit inside a Lotus and I figure the Viper's cockpit can't be much cramper than a Lotus', I took the plunge, but still wasn't sure how it would fit. The seat came only...

    Race Series - ACR-X vs. Porsche Cup Cars

    Just a wild question guys and gals... Is there any race series out there that classifies the cars by fuel consumption vs. engine displacement? I think the best and most equitable way to classify cars is by how much fuel they burn per mile/lap/race, etc. What are the gas consumption figures of...

    What to do in Detriot

    I came in third in stock class during the recent WZR autox and someone ahead of me couldn't go, so I received an invitation from VCA to fill in and attend the 2009 Viper Autox Challenge against SRT next month. For those who are not familiar with how that works, SRT invites the top two autox...

    Another 1" seat lowering kit question or two

    Currently I have the seat off of the mounting holes and have tried to mount to gateway module under the bracket but it is very tight underneath the bracket. For those who have relocated the moudle underneath, did you have to cut some of the carpeting and insulation? One more question... I have...

    OEM Exhaust vs. Belangers w/ sound clip

    I had the Belangers w/ high flow cats installed and am VERY HAPPY with the outcome. The sound now is raspier, a little louder and crispier without any drone whatsoever. I heard the full Belanger system and the Belanger headers, HFC with Corsa exhaust but they both sounded a little too agressive...

    Soft Tow Straps

    I read somewhere here that someone makes soft front and rear tow straps in many colors but for the life of me, the Search function isn't helping. Can someone point me to the right direction please?

    Lost 3 MPG after WZR. Why?

    The car averaged 19.8 MPG on the way to Vegas from Los Angeles which had about 45 minutes of stop and go traffic on Fwy 10 and 15, not bad at all for my '08 ACR w/ 3.55 gears. The best part was that I didn't have to stop mid way for a gas stop. But coming back from Vegas w/ less traffic and...

    Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, and Chewbacca

    Finally had a chance to detail both Darth Vader and Stormtrooper and oh man, Darth never looked so good, not even when new. Also pictures of the interior showing the V1 w/ remote display and DC Performance roll bar install. Darth and Stormtrooper: Darth with big wing... must fly fast...

    How would this wheel look on my ACR

    Modular Concepts wheels are popular among the Corvette people but I think this Carbon Concept model w/ the red lip would look bitching (can I say that?) on the ACR as the carbon on the wheel would complement the various carbon pieces on the ACR or any Viper w/ the red stripes - driver or double.
