    2014 C&D VIR Lightning Lap Results...Viper TA delivers!

    The Camaro was one second slower per lap. Ten laps - ten seconds behind. 2015 Nismo - $151,585 base price. One half second faster than the 2014 TA but the 2015 Viper TA 2.0 will beat it. Sorry Nismo lovers.

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    He has a right to like what he likes but what he wrote has nothing to do with the thread. It is also amusing that he loves an updated version of the GT40 that remained very loyal to the original design. Why didn't he wait for something more radical? LOL. The Gen V design is, and will remain, a...

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    It can be safely assumed that the 2015 TA 2.0, with its 400 pounds of down force, will beat its logical 2015 competitor(s) at Leguna Seca and at some other road course venues. Dodge SRT does know how to test.

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    Hi. But you are a keyboard tapper aren't you? I ask because your post indicates that you know little about the Gen V. It has many creature comforts. Few posts are calling for engine tech. Some of the posts are calling for more power out of the existing engine. I agree that an intelligent...

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    It is my thread in case you did not notice. You might wish to take your own advice. There is no name calling. Just an accurate description of some Gen V bashers that have been posting since the Gen V first came out. You may not know this since you signed up in July of this year. Those of us who...

    Maybe Bruce will give you a ride. Or, if you are going to be down here, PM me and I will give you a ride. I might even let you drive because I know you have an exceptional driving skill set.

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    It's not a cheap shot at all. Bashing the Gen V is not discussing the Gen V. I measure "passion" by dollars spent buying a Gen V. The rest is keyboard strokes and air over vocal cords. I have been posting here for 14 years. The strident Gen V bashing that some post here is unprecedented and...

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    For those of you who "feel" the Gen V design is not good enough I suggest that you drive a black TA around for a day or two. Why? Because you do not have a clue as to what you are talking about. People go nuts over the car. But, more than 50% say " I did not know they make the Viper any more."...

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    A new GT model brings a driver-selectable suspension, five-mode ESC system, and unique interior accents with Alcantara and Nappa leather seats. A TA 2.0 Special Edition model comes with a new rear wing, aerodynamic improvements to the front, and improvements in the suspension and brake system...

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    The Ferrari is just an Italian Viper. The cars use same seat manufacturer. LOL.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    Just a little reminder of what a Jeep SRT8 with less than 10K in mods (put on by the dealer) did against a Renntech tuned BMW X5M - a far more expensive car. Note the E.T. difference and the weather conditions. I beat him by the same margin in at least four other runs where there was no red...

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    But for Americans there would be no Mercedes. Without the Marshall Plan and our protecting West Germany from the Communists , Germany would not have become the post war industrial power house it became. As for quality, Mercedes has also had its share of issues. I have had my Lightning since...

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    The whole Euro snob thing is strange and undeserved. We saved Euope from the Nazis and bailed all of Europe out after WWII with the Marshall Plan. We then triumphed over communism and now we are, or at least we were, trying to protect the world from the Jihadists. The Europeans should be looking...

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    I heard that President Obama is adopting the UN environmental guidelines by Executive Order and that a footnote in it bans the Vette. I also heard that the new Z Vette is not for sale yet so the keyboard racers might as well be playing a video game. It will be fun to read about all the...

    audio level on TA models

    Funny. And so true in many cases. The same thing can happen by driving a Viper with no cats. Too loud. Nerve damage guaranteed if ear plugs not used.

    1. You can get the weatherstripping from a number of sources. Viper Parts of America has it. https://www.viperpartsofamerica.com/index.php/categories/dodge-viper-doors-related-parts 2. Your sills will run hot after you use her potential whther you put the stainless on or not. You just have to...

    audio level on TA models

    Just in case you do not know it there is an adjustment in the settings that allows the radio to automatically adjust sound based on what you are doing with the car.

    washing a TA

    Look under the hood. There is a decorative plastic engine cover. The car is tested to make sure it is water proof and when driving on a wet surface or in the rain, water comes up from the road and hits underneath the car and rain hits the intake. As you noted, you should avoid a direct hose...

    TA Details - input please

    Something is wrong. There should be a number. Look at the VIN number on the car. The last two digits should be the number of the TA. For instance, my last two digits are 26 and my car is 26 of 33. The emblem on the right side of the dashboard says 26/33. The black steering wheel stitching is...

    Is this for real?

    One that causes people to use their charge card if it occurs at all.

    I was thinking about purchasing a Viper again

    The 90K does not include gas guzzler tax. Also, the fully optioned Vette does not have as nice an interior as the base SRT model. You also might want too look at the number of sales of coupes from each manufacturer per month in the 100K price range. Viper sales may not be great but there are...

    I was thinking about purchasing a Viper again

    Why are you writing about a fully optioned car? That is irrelevant to the issue you raised. And no one, and I mean no one, is now paying 150 K for a Gen V Viper. There are incredible prices being offered on 2013s and very good prices on 2014s. Do some research first. You will be enlightened.

    Is this for real?

    It is a BS rumor. Prototypes were delivered but that does not mean anything regarding production for 2015. Chrysler receives and tests different technologies on a constant basis. That is how various components and vendors are evaluated. A majority of the stuff presented never sees the light of...
