    Dyno'd 2010 Viper ACR Roadster

    I'm with you, never even heard of a closout panel before. I see it in mjorgensen's pic, but does it increase performance? Looks more like engine dress up than something to help HP.

    Got on the dyno today

    Mustangs and Dyno Dynamics are generally regarded as heartbreakers, because they read low. DynoJets, on the other hand, are generally regarded as what you want if you want big numbers to impress internet racers. Quarter mile times (and butt-dyno) are what really matter, though ;-)

    Dyno'd 2010 Viper ACR Roadster

    Good question, that may have been its first pull, which would make sense, as the puff comes at close to redline... may have just been some condensation blowing out. The later pulls didn't have the puff. Someone more intimate with the engine may be able to better explain, though. I could be...

    nitto drag radials

    I have Nitto 555Rs for the Challenger.. Very sticky and awesome when warmed up and going in a straight line. For regular driving, should be fine as long as you're not cornering hard or driving in rain. And, of course, shorter life than other tires.

    Dyno'd 2010 Viper ACR Roadster

    I'm sure the tuners on here can elaborate, but 600+ is pretty easy to gain, and at least one shop I've seen advertise 700 whp N/A packages.

    Dyno'd 2010 Viper ACR Roadster

    Went to a local Dyno Day this weekend, and the Viper was a hit! Dyno'd at 535 rwhp, bone stock. I was pleased - was expecting 515-520ish. Lots of videos taken of it by people there... first one includes my other 2 SRTs and shots of the dyno monitor, dyno is a Super Flow, which is a...

    Yeah, I'm not quite that cool yet :)

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Working on uploading the "raw" footage, for those that want to see the unsoundtracked and full (read: somewhat boring) videos: 1. Over the shoulder, mounted on the trunk lid center (cockpit in view) 2. On the windshield (hood in view) (outside the windshield) 3. Front left fender...

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Indeed, this is the Horse Capital of the World, home to lots of thoroughbreds of both the equine and the automotive! Lots of large horse farms, and tons of fencing. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Also the editing was done in about 20 minutes using Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7.. free software.. Each of the angles was trimmed down from about 10+ minutes of footage to just under a minute for each. And for whomever put the comment about the soundtrack.. sorry :) The wind noise was...

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Very basic. Some friends of mine had been getting GoPro-s, and well, I didn't think that kind of investment ($250+) was quite warranted yet for my skill level (at driving AND filming...) So I've just got a basic 3 year old Flip camera that we've used off and on for a while... they're cheap...

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    The big hill toward the end? NO, it's an airport! Them's backroads going around the end of the runway that's built up to, you know, be level (funny how planes are like that).

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Took advantage of warm weather today to put the top down and try out a new camera mount I got for making car videos. There's nothing special about this video - it's nowhere near the quality of the burnout one a little while back, just me with a Flip camera and a free warm afternoon! The...

    Looks beautiful, would love to see it in person sometime (as I'm just down the road from you!)

    Woodhouse and Bill Pemberton

    Thanks, I thought there was a vendor section this might be more appropriate for, but apparently I didn't look hard enough!

    Woodhouse and Bill Pemberton

    6 months as a Viper owner, and I'm still alive, 2600 miles later. We'll see how well I handle the -next- six months, which will be much more conducive to testing its abilities! Got a note from Woodhouse yesterday commemorating it (this after getting my new 2011 Viper Club of America ID cards...

    Are Vipers invisible to stop light sensors?

    It drives me insane when I see people (particularly out-of-towners from little towns) pull up past the thick white line (where you're supposed to not cross) all the way up to the far crosswalk line -- which not only blocks the crosswalk for pedestrians, but also puts you outside the trigger box...

    Post up the best pic of your SRT

    From my other thread, my favorite shot of mine so far:

    Vipers Run the Kentucky Bourbon Trail July 30-31, 2011

    Definitely in. This is my backyard.

    No longer a snake owner..

    Ouch, just now reading for the first time. Glad you're OK, may want to leave further details and updates off the forum until the insurance claim is over and done, though. Speculation is one thing, confirmation is another.

    Convertible Roll Bars... Pics...

    Good comments, all, very informative as I weigh my decisions in this same arena.

    Pics of my ACR Roadster

    Awesome picture, captures the feeling appropriately :) Hope this is a joke :) The building is the Reynolds Art Building on the University of Kentucky's campus, chosen specifically as the backdrop for its character. Can you see the Mario and Luigi mosaics on it? No sidewalk is safe...

    Yes, and yes.

    Pics of my ACR Roadster

    Thanks everyone! It was a nice day yesterday, so I actually got it out after its long winter's nap for a bit and caught up with the photographer for these. Way to make these last bits of winter go a little faster! No, they're the same non-functional hoops as the rest of the Roadsters. I'm...
