    Gen 5 viper value retention after 2017 brand discontinuing

    Sounds like you should get the Nissan - and not drive it.

    Launch control

    I did it on a small farm road, no worries. Massive amount of wheel spin, and 4.7 seconds to 60. Kind of useless if you want to accelerate fast but it was fun.

    Anyone else notice the Gen5 trolls have not been around

    How long time did it take for you to acquire those skills? It must be difficult to multitask (making faces, funny sounds, and hands off the steering wheel) when accelerating that fast - WOW

    Anyone else notice the Gen5 trolls have not been around

    Are you making those faces and sounds, when you are showing us primitive Viper boys, how a car is truly driven in a straight line?

    Anyone else notice the Gen5 trolls have not been around

    I take that back, I meant launch #8 at the 2min 30sec mark. Now - that is impressive! Are you capable of that?

    Just clarifying, the acceleration skills "you" have, are as shown here?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5DRCTW-Q7o (starting at the 2 minute mark).

    TA Details - input please

    Now - the bike comparison is something I can relate to. I have a Ducati 916 SPS, hoping that the Viper will provide some of that same engagement. I have always had BMW's - still do.

    TA Details - input please

    I just looked at the picture I took of the badge - there is indeed a hint of some numbers there. Bruce, you were right, I missed it (this is probably the first time I was wrong about anything - you can check with my wife). Thank you, to all !!!!

    TA Details - input please

    Just the input i was hoping for. Thank you, Bob and Bruce! - Last two digits on the VIN number makes sense as to the TA number but for sure there are no numbers below the orange "SRT" badge. - Clutch input was what I was hoping for (will help my short legs)! Thanks !

    TA Details - input please

    Forgot to add this: The clutch pedal travel is rather long (to me). Can you describe where the engagement point is i.e. do you need to fully engage it to shift, or can you get away with less?

    TA Details - input please

    I am getting very close to buying an orange TA. There are a couple of details that are puzzling to me: - The stitches on the steering wheel are black, not orange. Is that normal? - The SRT badge on the dash does not show what number it is (i.e. 42/93). Is that normal? - I was surprised...

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    Yes, we have seen it - and thank you, for starting a new thread on this great news! - not that that is the only option forward. How about making the Viper lighter, keep the V10, no blower, show that great engine (rather than plastic covers), stick shift, analog instruments - then have at it...

    Is Budweiser American Is Rolls-Royce British Is Bentley British Is Lamborghini Italian Is Ducati (motorcycles) Italian What is a Veyron? ...........The list goes on

    Told ya...

    I agree with all of it. Hate loosing, sure wish this great engine had 800 hp, doom, gloom etc. Still, this is probably the only (new) sports car where you are actually the driver - not the electronics. To me that is simply fantastic. I already love the design (except for covering the...

    What can SRT engineers do to improve future Gen Vipers?

    I am on the fence between a Porsche, used 430 and Viper, with a slight leaning towards the Viper. The "honesty" of the Viper is very appealing, manual gear shift and all. More horse power for bragging rights/higher sales number would be good (ACR?), and get rid of the terrible plastic cover...

    paint issues--please help

    Hi Graphite, Thanks for clarifying - very good input. Moving the door is to me some sort of alignment issue - but as the hole issue is described by you, something I could live with on a hand assembled car - as long as it is corrected. Thanks -Kurt

    paint issues--please help

    Kris: Sorry to read about your problems. It sure looks like the issue is a misaligned door and/or window, and the "paint issue" is a function of that misalignment. A re-sprayed anything, is simply not an option, as a dealer paint job will not match the factory job. I am seriously...
