    2008 QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE on my SSG Viper

    I ordered a GTS Blue from Roanoke 5/07 and my car moved to inspection (i.e., "I" status) in early February. Have paid for the car, and I'm still waiting for a drop-ship delivery to a dealer local to me. I was told that a defect in a body panel is the cause of the delay for several cars, and...

    Next Gen Viper scrapped? Current Gen to be built to 2011

    My brother has been testing/driving an SRT-10 truck with cylinder cutout for over a year now. I'm not sure when he plans to bring it to market - droptail.com It certainly is a viable option that's available (and would work better in a car than a heavy truck.)

    Great, thank you. Is Dyment Chrysler's publisher?

    Shop Manuals

    My '08 is in final inspection (status I), finally! So, I visited my local Dodge parts dept. today and inquired about ordering a set of shop manuals for the car. I was told they couldn't order them and they weren't sure how I would go about ordering them (my car is never going to see this...

    08 vipers are enroute!

    That looks just like the car I have on order from Roanoke, only mine is supposed to be built mid-Jan. My local dealers are still waiting to see their first '08.

    Seat lowering Mfg & Specifics

    Thank you for the great news. I'm 6.6' w. looong legs. I didn't fit very well into an '06 I tried at a nearby dealer, and I have an '08 GTS Blue being built in Jan. Nothing like buying a car that I can't fit into. I'm hoping to avoid having to use the sawzall. :)

    Carbon Fiber Leather Install

    When do I hope for delivery:), I hope by year-end. I ordered from Roanoke in May. Since GTS Blue is in the first run, w. about 200 blue mixed-in with the 2 other initial colors, it's possible they could build the last blue in Feb. (when they would have built about 600 cars). It really depends...

    Why 3.07 gears in the Viper

    Yes, shorter gears will likely require an additional shift (not good), and if traction is already an issue (as with the high torque V10's), shorter gears are only going to make traction worse. Once you hit your sweet spot in first, the gearing isn't going to make much of a difference, as you're...

    Guys Running Motons or Adjustable Suspensions

    Thanks for the putting this together; the kit looks great and is the only one like it. I haven't checked my Penskes in over a year, and will soon have Motons for my (soon) '08.

    More Bad Press

    Car enthusiasts will always read between the lines, and will makeup their own minds. The Viper is in the press, which is good. I'm OK, I've ordered my '08 :)

    Carbon Fiber Leather Install

    This looks great. My '08 will approximate your colors, GTS Blue with the graphite bezel and grey seat inserts (although yours looks like they will be nicer than mine.)

    Guys Running Motons or Adjustable Suspensions

    I would be very interested. It would be even better if the kit could support both the Motons and Penske shocks (if both, you definitely have another sale).

    More test results (hint: close, but Viper wins again)

    Keeping the costs down, I think DC did a great job maintaining the Viper`s weight. The '08 Z06 actually gained 32lbs., despite GM saving 20++ lbs. (?) moving from aluminum to a new magnesium K-member ('07 3,130 '08 3,162). Much of this added weight came from the TR-6060, which is much heavier...

    Hope the 2008 Viper is mod friendly like Chevy's LS3...

    Until the '08 castings can be independently bench flowed, its speculation, but at a recent SoCal DC Performance outing a couple weeks ago, I heard from two different knowledgeable sources that the new heads are a tad better than Stryker heads. The Gen IV heads do flow about 60 cfm over the Gen...

    Hope the 2008 Viper is mod friendly like Chevy's LS3...

    The '08 VVT heads will out-flow the LS3 heads (better than the Stryker heads, stock), and once the '08 PCM is cracked, the dyno numbers/liter will trump any Chevy numbers. Stock, the '08 rw numbers surmount the LS3 custom tune numbers, and like any OEM tune, there's plenty left on the table...
