    I was thinking about purchasing a Viper again

    First drive a Gen V. Then report back. You are comparing the Gen V to a 3500 plus pound car that is not nearly as good looking that does not even exist yet for sale to the public.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    You took the bait. LOL.

    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    Uh. Free2go was being his usual sarcastic and humorous self. I thought it was a cute and clever comment.

    Supercharged v-10!

    There is only one logical place where, if the story is true, the supercharged engines could be coming from and that is Arrow Racing Engines. If that is the case, the only thing that makes sense to me is that Arrow created a few supercharged Gen V Viper engines as a potential aftermarket...

    Supercharged v-10!

    Not salivating. I would not use my TA for drag racing. It is a road racer. It is an interesting rumor. Nothing more. To increase the current engine to 770 HP with boost on an OEM basis - not aftermarket - would require alot of money; durability testing in all the usual environments; even...

    Charger Hellcat too

    If the Allpar story is true, I hope that what is being done is MOPAR developing a dealer installed kit for the Gen 5. That could be done far more quickly than a supercharged Gen V variant from the factory.

    Charger Hellcat too

    Rest assured that Ford would do all that I suggested for a power increase from 662 tp 777. A power increase of 115 HP would require complete durability testing and probably an engine recertification. After market mods, even by the best companies, do not go through anywhere near the testing and...

    Charger Hellcat too

    No. It would need bigger brakes; a different intercooler, stronger internals to meet durability testing; suspension changes, etc.

    Charger Hellcat too

    Not really. Fabricating an aftermarket hood is not a big deal. Producing an OEM 777 HP Mustang is.

    Why doesn't VCA allow free ads?

    Re: VOA allows free Ad's why doesn't VCA? To my knowledge, it does. For members.

    http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/44666/rumor-mill-ford-will-unleash-750-horsepower-in-2016-svt-mustang I think it is BS. The car being tested is a prototype GT 350 Mustang. Plus, its speculative and is two model years away. The Challenger Hellcat and Charger Hellcat exist. So this BS is just...

    So where/when is the next VCA raffle car?! The "other guys" already had one.

    Not quite accurate. 1. See http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/notice_1340.pdf 2. While the sticker price will be considered, the price paid for the car by the organization holding the raffle is also evidence absent a contribution component by the vendor that provided the car. The burden of proof...

    2014 TA Track Attack #8, CTMP (Mosport) Aug 6, 2014...The 90 Minute Enduro

    In the case of the non advanced aero equipped Gen V, they are necessary to achieve the claimed top speed and help with drag a little at highway speeds. But in the case of the Aero equipped cars, they are not needed. They are easy to take off if so desired.

    Charger Hellcat too

    Yeah. Right. A four door muscle car is going to take sales away from a two door road racer. Not. It is another great product release by Dodge. Go Dodge!! Congrats Team SRT for puting it together. Let the garage expansion planning begin. LOL.

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    The last ten posts or so have certainly been an interesting mass debate. Then there is the reality of budgets, development time, arranging for vendors for a low volume project; meeting EPA regulations, and making a convincing case to managment that there is a business plan that stands a...

    Gen V Convertible!

    In 45 years, unless government policies change, today's kids will likely not have the coin to collect much of anything.

    Gen V Convertible!

    Do you really think that Prefix does not know now whether a convertible Gen V is going to be built? They are the vendor for painting all the Gen V body panels and puting on the stripes. Dodge has to give them alot of data on a future project - colors, prioduct variants, projected number of...

    Gen V Convertible!

    1. The total price is not known. (I do not think we know what Prefix paid for the ten cars it has and what price is being charged for the cars before the 35K. Please correct this if I am wrong.) Also, I would guess that since Prefix said they can customize the paint scheme any way you want it...

    Apology to all gen v owners

    Frank. You are older now; more experienced;and, have many racing miles under your belt. Would it be fair to say your skill set is so high that it would take quite a bit to get your juices flowing? If so, aren't you in the experince zone of those who could handle a Porsche 918 or a McClaren P1 at...
