    I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do it.

    Re: I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do I'm up in the greater Lehigh Valley, near Easton :( I might still make it down that way at some point, my folks live near there, but it's a bit of a hike for a regular trip. When do they start up? I'm in...

    I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do it.

    Re: I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do 100% agree, but I'd rather hire people to do work for me and work on my Viper myself than be hired to work for somebody else and farm out the car labor. I guess I'm just a masochist, but I get a lot of...

    Installing new fuel filter and new battery

    Glad it was helpful. Nice job with the fuel filter, I did that on my Z06 and it was a real ****** to get seated properly.

    Re: I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do This is the first repair video we've done, so not much else to look for yet. Just wanted to make sure the formatting and everything was clear before getting into the harder and more detailed repairs.

    Re: I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do Thanks. We're really trying to up the bar on the quality of the available repair vids to take the guess work out of it.

    I replaced the battery in our Gen II GTS ACR and made a video detailing how to do it.

    My wife and I have made videos documenting some of the repairs we did with our Viper GTS ACR. We were tired of trying to follow guides that didn't show the entire procedure, or passed over important steps. Although this is a fairly simple repair, we will also be releasing videos in the same...

    A V8 Viper?

    Just to put this one to bed, Bugatti, Lexus, etc. only lose money on their halo cars because it's a numbers game-you're subsidizing their R&D for their bread and butter brands. Ever notice how alarmingly similar the Reventon interior/controls and the controls on the Aventador are? Or how the...

    Stolen and stripped RT/10 - Anyone of us?

    Hopefully they catch them. Having driven my Viper through Clinton many times, it's always a circus. These guys would have had to be pretty good to move it that far with no pics being taken.

    Well, I finally got my gold Forgestars. Flame away...

    Those wheels look wonderful. The only part of this setup I'm not a fan of is the shields. Viper has enough heritage and cool factor that it doesn't need to ape Ferrari. Leave that to Corvette.

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    Just want to jump in here. I'm a member of several large (>100,000 member) general performance car owner forums online, so I get to hear a lot of other brand owner's perspectives on this car, even people who hate on Dodge all day, every day. I have never heard the V GTS hated on for its...

    GTS/ACR stock front fascia/splitter ride height

    Ah. I'm coming from a Z06, so I didn't realize. I looked at the manual, and there it is, sure enough. Thanks guys.

    new White TA

    Very, very nice. Enjoy it for all of us who are facing a few more months of something white that isn't nearly as fun.

    Vipers and Haters

    Lot of worry about nothing. One, tons of Corvette owners have nothing but positive things to say about Vipers-because they own both, like me, or hope to own both one day. Even the ones that don't own a Viper have generally laudatory things to say about them, with the only real exception being...

    GTS/ACR stock front fascia/splitter ride height

    I'm buying a new low-profile jack, and my dream is to get one that can go under the stock front fascia of my ACR without needing ramps. What's the clearance of the lowest point of the front fascia? I'm finding 5" for the general car, but links very from 2" to 4" for the splitter. Anyone know for...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    Yeah, definitely that's more important than an ACR. That's a huge market. I just don't think about verts very much because the weather is so rotten here.

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    >Yeah. That big seller the ACR, a whole 250 units a year. Will change everything! According to sales figures I found for the SRT Viper, a 250 unit bump in 2013 would have meant a 42% increase in Viper sales in the USA. I'm not an economist, but that seems significant. Also, I don't think the...

    TA selling well, soon to be selling out...and it's no surprise why

    A significant part of the Viper's appeal has always had to do with being the biggest and fastest. It's not like an Aston Martin, where advocates always point to some intangible appeal to overlook short comings-the appeal of the Viper was aggressive looks, aggressive numbers, and segment...

    Took Some Pics of New Wheels

    60D is an amazing camera. That's a little hard core if you're still at the "I need the manual" phase of using a DSLR camera. What led you to get it? Interest in video?

    1st nite time cruise in the Snake!

    Drove my 2001 ACR 1,100 miles from the pickup point, mostly at night (4:30pm-7:30am). I agree-the cluster glow is a whole different animal from another car. It was an incredible experience. I'd also like to know what lights you used. The stock lights suck.

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    That's the lowest class of Corvette, the Z51 is a jazzed up base model. It's not even a Grand sport. If that car was remotely close to the Viper, Viper wouldn't be in trouble, it'd be extinct. The skidpad G's the C7 put down were absolutely amazing, like, unheard of, for car in the $60,000...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    The Z51 is already putting down Near-Ferrari numbers on test tracks and the skid pad, and that's down on this thing by hundreds of hp and ft/lbs. Although the car isn't far beyond the ZR1 in numbers, with the updated engine and chassis work they did on the C7, I expect this thing to smoke the...

    Dennis, I didn't get the PM. Box might have been full. Did some winter cleaning, you can try again. Thanks, Ross

    Looking for that GTS pre-purchase evaluation guide

    Hey, When I shopped for my Viper, someone sent me a link to an evaluation form for checking over a Viper GTS, it included an image of the GTS positioned in several ways to circle damage, and a number of categories of problems to check for. Anyone have it? Thanks, Ross

    What's the story here?

    I should have been clearer; I'm not looking to get involved with politics or dig up dirt; I'm interested because my wife asked me how the groups diverged and I honestly had no idea.
