I would still be excited and would purchase the 2016 Viper even if the supercharger was in the trunk of the car when I drove it off the lot. I just want a supercharged Gen V!
The GTR's success proves your theory wrong. Most people who purchased the GTR was able to overlook the bland sedan like styling for the huge performance aftermarket that is available to turn them into high hp street/track cars. With the current new Viper, your stuck with only being able to add...
This is awesome news! Definitely a step in the right direction for the Gen V! My only question now is when will we see an aftermarket supercharger kit available?
I find it funny that SRT refuses to release any aftermarket parts for the new Viper or the info needed to unlock the PCM when Ford has a Whipple supercharger kit developed for the new 15" Mustang GT before they are even on dealers lots. If lawsuits or the EPA was really the hold up on the mods...
I would buy a new Gen V tomorrow if I was 100% sure that a supercharger kit would be available sometime next year. But until I know for sure this kit is going to actually be made I don't want to take the risk of buying a car that there might be a chance I could never mod. I mod every car that I own.
Exactly and how can you make it your own when you can't even tune the car?? Your had better be in love with the way the car performs right off the showroom floor because as of today there are virtually no performance mods for the Gen V. And from the way it looks there isn't going to be any on...
I hope the lack of sales sends a strong message to SRT that you are simply not providing what a lot of customers want. You simply can't expect a huge demand for a $100,000+ performance car that does not have the ability to be modded and has virtually no aftermarket support. Maybe with this...
The new Viper is just begging for the aftermarket to release a positive displacement blower kit. This would be a game changer for the Gen V. I just hope it makes it to market and soon. It would be nice if we could get some reliable information if this kit was truly being worked on and if so an...
I really hope this kit actually makes it to market and is not just a rumor or years away. A roots blower at very minimum would add 200hp. Along with headers and exhaust a Gen V would be around 900hp at the crank. This would really take away a lot of the new Z06's buzz....
I couldn't agree more. I would buy a new Gen V today if only I could simply mod the car. I really hope SRT provides the aftermarket with the info needed to allow someone to release a Paxton or roots blower kit soon for the Gen V without the need for a stand along engine controller. If this...
SRT needs to make available the Hellcat's supercharger as an aftermarket add on for the Gen V Viper. This would open up the Gen V to a whole new market of customers and keep the 2015 Z06 in the rear view mirror where it belongs!
Bob, seeing all your other vehicles were supercharged did you hesitate at all buying a Gen V knowing there might never be a way to add forced induction or even be able to tune it? I would trade up to the Gen V from my Paxton 06 Coupe if only forced induction was available for the Gen V. I would...
I don't think the Viper will survive if SRT doesn't find a way to release the info needed to allow customers to mod the Gen V. Not being able to mod the Gen V is really keeping the new Viper from appealing to a larger segment of the market. I personally would by a Gen V today if I could add a...
