    The seats for the 2008 are the same as the 03-06 in terms of headroom. Jon B at Parts Rack might be able to help you. The passenger seat for 2008 cannot be modified because it includes an occupant classification system sensor.

    Reply for Schulmann on '06 rear diff 'click': A 'click' noise coming from the rear of the car during accel or decel could be coming from the rear wheel hub and halfshaft spline interface due to the very slight wear-in of the hub and shaft fit. We call it 'spline click'. Retorquing the rear hub...

    Question: How much slower is the '08 ACR than a non acr '08 as far as top speed and 1/4 mile times? The ACR 0-60 times are identical to the 08 SRT-10. In the 1/4 mile, the ACR is about 0.1-0.2 seconds slower than the SRT-10. We just tested the top speed of the ACR at our Arizona Proving...

    black08: Obviously, thousands of hours were logged on the track during the development of the ACR. I was wondering if the SRT engineers could give us an idea of how much quicker the ACR was on the track versus the regular '08 model? We have tested at many tracks and the results vary with...

    Reply for Bobpantax and Vipermann on engine/trans mounts: '08 Viper engine mounts are increased durometer (harder) compared to the '06 engine mounts to handle the increased engine output.

    rcl4668: What pad would you recommend for the Stoptechs for someone who had to run one pad for both street and running 6-7 HPDE/track days per year? The Viper SRT-10 and ACR share the same brake pad. We have found this brake pad to be an excellent compromise for both street and track use...

Obviously, you're just not going to be taking this car only to and from the track so I was interested on advice if you were to take the ACR on an extended trip. The Treadwear...

    Reply for Paul Hawker on the '08 transmission: The '08 TR6060 transmission is 'beefier' due to bigger gears, shafts, and bearings... more case structure... 6 lbs heavier and 10mm longer compared to the T56. It shifts better due to reduced friction linear shift rail bearings, all new...
