EZ - Engines today are required to use API SM rated motor oils and our development and durability testing is done with SM oils. As you noted, these oils contain lower amounts of certain additives such as phosphorus and zinc. These particular additives were used as anti-wear agents for high...- SRT Engineers

The Tire Rack is your friend. We know those guys and communicate with them often. Brand/vehicle specific tires are quite common across the industry. If a tire retailer doesn't know that, maybe they aren't good enough for your Viper.- SRT Engineers

If the top mechanism works fine without sticking and making noise, don't worry about it. If any of these symptons appear, take it to an authorized dealer for a better diagnostic of the issue. The noise on the front attachment point on the drivers side may be caused by the dowel pin interface...- SRT Engineers

The net weight change on the ARY package is a little over 18 pounds (wing, splitter and hardware included). This includes deleting the standard front belly pan extension which weights 3.5 pounds.- SRT Engineers

Are you sure it is not weeping out the cap at track events? If that is the case, try running it a little low (like full cold when hot) to increase expansion volume and slosh room.- SRT Engineers

The Viper Spec PS2 is a different animal than the regular aftermarket, multi compound PS2. The Viper PS2 is a full two seconds per lap faster around a typical road course. It has Pilot Sport Cup compound and much more construction stiffness. You will get major understeer even with the bigger...- SRT Engineers

Yes, Saleen is in the process of changing ownership. We are moving the paint operations to a company called Creative Liquid Coatings. The paint process will actually receive upgrades in a few areas and our target for paint quality is to be equal to or greater than Saleen. So far we are on...- SRT Engineers

No... no EDR... or at least to the extent that you are referring to. There is an airbag recorder that captures seat belt use and pyrotechics... (ie whether that bag should have blown or not). It is an event recorder not a "flight recorder". Owners manuals indicate which data are...- SRT Engineers

Rich – The 2008/2009 Mopar off-road ECU is calibrated to give optimum performance when using 93 octane fuels. However, a lot depends on how you plan to drive and the atmospheric conditions. 93 octane is required for worst case conditions such as high barometric pressure and hot dry air...- SRT Engineers

Tom – In general, five weeks downtime really shouldn’t be a problem for your engine. As you noted, keeping the battery charged is important both for good starting and battery life. It is always a good idea to make sure that the engine gets up to full operating temperature before you allow your...- SRT Engineers

If you are at the track, zinging the motor at high rpm for extended periods, like your HPDE events, you will get extra protection from the viscosity of 15W-50. On the other side, 20F is about the lowest you want to do cold starts with that thick of oil. Even at higher cold start temps, like...- SRT Engineers

Martin – Putting non-certified parts into an engine at the assembly plant is not something that can be done in today’s world. The pistons would have to be emissions and OBD certified which is a very long and expensive process.- SRT Engineers

The 2009 controller will work on a 2008 car, but would need to be set up for your car... the cost of a new controller is pretty much equal to that of the Mopar Race Controller. The biggest improvements are available within the Mopar Race Controller. The differences between 2008 and 2009 are...- SRT Engineers

1) We certainly enjoyed the only trip we’ve ever made to the ‘Ring, so we might have to go back sometime! 2) We are not aware of anyone developing a runflat tire for the Gen 4 cars. 3) No, we do not recommend lubricating the weatherstrip. 4) Development of the ACR began on the convertible...- SRT Engineers

2008 vs 2009
As Mark stated, there is little or no perceivable difference in the driving experience between a 2008 and a 2009 Viper. Although the engine software and calibration is different for regulatory reasons and refinement, most customers will never notice a difference. Some customers have asked if...- SRT Engineers

You can find the generic OBD II fault codes on several internet sites but the diagnostic procedures are typically manufacturer specific and the only place to find that is probably the service manuals.

Thanks GR8, you are probably correct and yes, you can plug into the outlet inside the glove box with a trickle charger. Offhand, we don't have any specific brand to recommend but there are probably several available. Anyone out there have any brand names to recommend?- SRT Engineers

As it turns out, some of the chart printed in the recent Viper Magazine somehow got cut off. The rest of the chart does show the breakdown (colors and stripes) for coupes and ACR's. We have spoken with the Magazine and they will probably run it again in its entirety so we won't spoil it here...- SRT Engineers
