Ive had three vipers. They were all amazing on reliability.
The audi seems the same way. Feels like driving a regular 50k sedan as far as reliability. Just a lil 4.2 litre v8 and nice interior.
The only issues Ive read about are on the electric manual r tronic transmission.
Its basically the...
I really loved my 2003 vert.
Unfortunately my roe racing cam was installed incorrectly. She made 555 rwhp on the dyno and then ran worse and worse till the engine locked. I sold the car with a blown engine and took a huge loss.
Was devastated. Saved up for a 2015 viper.....but got the r8...
Im sure some may remember me as Twister. The site changed my password so I created yhis login name.
I have had 3 vipers. My last was a 2003 with bolt ons and a roe cam pushing 555 rwhp on the dyno...
I wanted a 2015 viper badly but also wanted an audi r8 pretty bad too.
In the end I found an...
Am i the only one who notices that the viper trapped over 1 mph higher than the zr1?
The genv is a beaste plain and simple.
Genv owners are getting an amazeingly beautiful exterior...arguably the best interior ever in a american sports car plus the bragging rights of a car that can out mph a...
Vipers faster straightline due to power weight and gearing.
Zr1s better on the track due to tires and brakes.
Both are simply amazeing.
Vipers much rarer and looks much better with a higher quality interior. vipers all engine.
God bless America
Viper had more mph in the quartermile. interesting considering the dyno results to say the leaste.
Goes to show that the viper is as fast or faster straight line then tge zr1.
Thats bad azz right there.
I belieave the viper is closeing the gap on the road course and soon a viper driver will...
Yep...ive seen the gen4 door to door with the zr1 as well.. they both dynoed 530-550 rwhp and where within a 100 pounds of eachother.
The genv should be mopping up nicely on a regular 545 rwhp zr1.
But this ringer gm supplied isnt makeing it look that way.
Have faith. even at just 558 rwhp...
Ummmmmmm....
It is faster to 60 and 100 mph. they also appear dead even to 130 mph. both trapping in the 126-129 mph range in head to head quarter mile testing.
That zr1 is a ringer....
The gen4 viper and zr1 both ALWAYS dyno in the 520-545 rwhp range.
The strongest examples hit in the 545-555 range with the beaste of beaste hitting 560 rwhp.
So now a stock zr1 hits 570 rwhp??? And the more powerful than gen4 genv just 558?
Well its very evedent...
Blue streak I gotta disagree with you.
The gen3 came out in 03 and with a 11.7@123 mph 1/4 mile it bested the fgt in a 2004 head to head test and not till 06 was it trounced by the z06.
In 2008 the gen4 beat the z06 in straight line speed as well as the road coutse in every single review.
The...
Nothing to change. a 13 non acr outperforms a 10 nonacr in every way. it has the 96 gts look so many wanted and an amazeing interior.
It beats the gtr and even 458 ect.
Zr1 is an amazeing performer but not special. srt could give us a 120k srt8 that ran 10s and did LS in the 1.33 range.
But...
Well.....
So far weve seen....
0-60 in 3.2
1/4 mile in 11.4
1/4 mile mph at 128.7
Laguana Secca at 1.35x
way I figure it is this new viper runs toe to toe with a 2008 acr on a track and is faster straightline with a 206 mph top speed.
All with a very nice exterior and the nicest interior Ive...

heres the gen4 viper vs zr1 results from car and driver.
Honestly picking up a 60k gen4 seems like an amazeing deal right now
Heres the car and driver article were they got 0-150 .......
Gen4viper 16.4
Zr1 17.1
What the hell happenned with the genv? 17.8?
Its the same basic engine in a lighter viper
My humble opinion.
The zr1 is set up better with better brakes and tires. it is what it is. average driver or pro driver theres a two second gap around LS.
However I still wont be surprised if a pro from the srt team beats the zr1s new record.
Number two....dang 0-60 in 3.2 is movin and it...
Gotta add my two cents...
Geeze the zr1 is a badazz car. no shame in tying the quarter mile and loseing on the roadcourse.
The zr1 is maxed out and the viper just getting broke in.
Rest asured the viper will be faster in the 0-150 mph test. Im expecting 15.9 seconds vs 16.5 for the zr1.
Im...
Stock gen4s have went 10.9 @130 mph.
The gen5 is a lil quicker. I suspect 10.7 @ 132 . Someone will likely pull a 10.6 @ 133 from a stocker at MIR.
But despite these 10 sec miracle passes from zr1s and vipers...I do belieave your average driver is gonna run 11.3 @ 128 mph in a gen5 no prob at...
Id personally have to call pulling harder on the straights than a zr1 a bit more than half full.
Only cars that can do that are the Bugatti Aventador ccx and now the Viper.
