    supercharged gen V going into production?

    Old rumor. The story is based on some development mules done for the Arrow System. Tim K recently stated that the Viper will remain NA. Utilizing a positive displacement supercharger adds considerable weight to the front of the car requiring suspension changes and retuning of the suspension...

    ACR Raffle is Live

    NSANE's post from the other thread: Re: And the winner is!! UPDATE! Diamond hit the nail on the head. Wendell has secured the VCA allocation for the Hellcat and is using his winnings towards that. Talk about a smart guy, parlays $200 into 40k, ~75k to 100k (the street value of a HC). $65k...

    Viper going out of production in August 2017

    I can't stand listening to the lisping twerp. And as far as publicity, the ACR is getting massive publicity - overwhelmingly favorable. I am pleased to find out that the Viper will at least be produced through August, 2017. That means through the 2018 model year which is great. Wait until the...

    Poor Quality control issue

    Did you buy your car new? If you picked up your car from a dealer, it is more likely that everything you described happened during the unloading of the vehicle at the dealer and afterwards. I would guess the front fascia was damaged during transportation and/or unloading and the dealer had it...

    Poor Quality control issue

    Thank you for your post. Since you picked up the car at the dealer, there is no data to suggest or prove that it was a manufacturing error. It is more likely that it happened during shipment; offloading the vehicle from the carrier; or, prepping the car at the dealership. In any event, it is a...

    Poor Quality control issue

    The OP's initial post does not say he picked the car up at the plant. If he did not pick it up at the plant, why is everyone assuming it happened at the plant as opposed to sometime during the delivery to the dealer or at the dealer? Or even after he picked it up when someone tried to steal the...

    8 speed auto in a gen 5 viper

    I do not think it will work with the stock ratio. Look at what is used in the Z06. If you keep the stock ratio, on a good hook up, my guess is that you will snap a half shaft pretty quickly and, if not a half shaft, you will get a diff failure and/or a driveshaft failure. You have to sync the...

    Is there a leak????

    Do you have any pets that hide/sleep under the car or resent its presence as an invasion of territory? If not, exactly where under the rear was it located? To the side? Center? Right next to the inside of the tire under the brake? Under the diff? Or, since your Viper is yellow, maybe it just...

    8 speed auto in a gen 5 viper

    Looks like you will have to change the differential ratio to go with the 8L90 gearing if what GM did on the Z06 and the V series Cadies is any indication. Or, do you also intend to change out the diff?

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    There have been many informative and helpful posts and threads made on this forum during the 15 years I have observed it and they still continue to this day. You can choose to see and emphasize the negative or note and praise the helpful. My experience with Viper owners is very different from...

    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    Faster?? The current Viper record is 7:12:13. A 7:01 would be 11 seconds faster. If true, that would be an incredible achievement for a car that only has 40 more HP, a tweaked suspension and some additional down force.

    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    There was a rumor around that the 2016 ACR with extreme aero already did a 7:01 at the Ring. I do not see why they would not allow manufacturers to continue testing. They, more than most, know what they are doing.

    And the winner is!!

    Just thought this photo was fun and appropriate. It is $40,000.00 in a briefcase. And, no, it was not given to the winner. It is just a photo I pulled off the web.

    Did I win the raffel?!

    The other thread said Wendell won it. And it ended up being a 50/50. So he ended up winning about 40K. He bought one ticket. Nice return on his investment!

    And the winner is!!

    Congrats Wendell! If you paid $200 for the ticket, that's 200 times your investment without considering taxes. Well done.

    Viper Inventory - Very Low at Dealerships??? .. Should We be Worried??

    The dealers learned from the marketing error made in 2013. They realized that it is better to let the Viper buyer order his or her own car. That is also the philosophy behind the one of one program. So you should not see many dealer ordered Vipers sitting in showrooms.

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    Keep in mind that it is not just how old they are but how many times they have been heat cycled. So a rear tire that has been the subject of X number of burn outs will stiffen up sooner than one that has been driven normally. It is also important to keep the right tire pressure in the tire for...

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    If you went into a spin before going off the road, you may have flat spotted all four tires. Check them carefully. If you did not plan to replace all four at the same time, I recommend doing so. When something like this happens, expect to have a little ptss for awhile. It is normal. You really...

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    Definitely check alignment and while you are at it all the components of the front suspension since it was pulling to the right. Make sure that you clean all the dirt out from everything underneath the car from the recent incursion. This could have happened even with new tires if they were...

    Ran into the garage door :( side sill repair/replacement optoins?

    I just checked the price of a replacement part. Replacing it would cost more.

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    Nah. Keith and I are friends outside the Forum. Just a little Internet banter. Late at night he misses his Viper and comes home to Capistrano ( here)

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    I do not disagree with you Jeff. The language issue is important because the VCA is a non profit entity and has a family friendly policy, in part, because of that.
