    World's First Gen 5 Viper Twin Turbo By RSI

    Tee hee. Boost greed responses make me giggle. 850 rwhp would scare the crap out of most people here. :)

    Realistic timeline?

    My view: 2013MY -- GTS and SRT trim released. First MY for Gen V 2014MY -- TA package added. Inventory stacks up on dealer lots. 2015MY -- Chrysler pulls plug on Viper program. 2016MY -- Last "new" 2014 MY Viper sells from dealership. 2017MY -- Viper fans complain that the Viper is dead...

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    1969 Camaro production numbers. Many winning Trans-Am series races back then. Heard of Penske? 243,085 total 2012 Camaro production numbers. 84,391 total The new Camaro is still a better car. Better, defined as out-performing it in every aspect, improved safety, comfort, fuel mileage...

    That is cute, you have a modded Viper. I have one of those, too. Such G5 hatred, you'd think this guy drives a Corvette. LOLOLOL

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    I like my 1969 Camaro SS more than the two late model 2010, 2012 Camaros I've owned. But, I'm not naive to think the 1969 was a "better" vehicle than the newest Camaros. Sure, the old car gets more attention, but that doesn't make it a "better" vehicle. Every single Viper gets attention, so...

    pirelli corsa vs sport cups

    Last weekend I had the Corsas on the front, Sport Cups on the back of my Gen 5. No complaints about either tire. The Corsas seemed a little more melted after the day, whereas the Sport Cups didn't look much different before/after. Having driven both on the street, and in the rain, the Corsa...

    Gen V on track - MSR Houston

    There were four ACR's (Gen 4) out there with us. One was highly modified, more of a track-only car. The other three were mostly stock. Only one had a timer, and we both ran identical times. 1:47-1:49 range, which is actually good for this track. But hey, I missed apex's. And I'll do it again.

    When it's time for new tires...

    I've had the Pirelli Corsa track pack tire, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, and the Michelin Pilot Super Sport on my Gen 5. The Corsa is a good all-around tire, even in the rain. The Sport Cups are more suited to the track, being the ACR factory tire. The Pilot Super Sport would be my favorite...

    Got To Tour CAAP and Prefix

    Good eye. I scrolled past it and didn't even notice that. In the Gen V book by Maurice, those holes were intended for vertical LED foglights. Later on, due to cost, they made them into wheel vents. That hole looks much wider now, so it could be the LED fogs + wheel vents?

    HELP! Gen III fuel pump replacement

    That outer ring isn't very fun to remove. It is threaded on, and usually pretty tight. I used a 2x2 block of wood and tapped it with a hammer to get it spinning off (counter clock-wise), being careful not to hit it too hard. I used wood to keep from damaging the plastic grip lines, as it is...

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    Why should buyers even have to "validate" a Viper purchase, on a Viper Club website? Uncalled for.

    Wow! That escalated rather quickly. LOL

    Gen-4 Guys... possible reasonably priced tuning solution...?

    Ummmm..... it doesn't exist for the Gen 4. Hence the topic of this thread. We should be glad that somebody is actually trying to develop something. This will certainly improve the resale / modification value of the Gen 4 cars, if it works out. You guys play nice. :)

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    I'm going to have to try driving my car sometime. My chauffeur tells me it drives nice. Sorry, your Gen 2 isn't the best Viper ever built. But I still love them, too.

    Will, nice driving! Your daily driver runs hard.

    Got To Tour CAAP and Prefix

    Glad you got into the Chocolate Factory, Charlie. Haha Agreed that every buyer should get a chance to visit the plant. That should be part of the ownership experience. It made my purchase more special, to me.

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    Gen 5 has a "Hibernate Mode" that you can select when storing the car. Like others have said, it is the BEST Viper ever built. :)

    What can SRT engineers do to improve future Gen Vipers?

    Well then, get on with the code cracking :)

    You guys don't carry guns in Minnesota? Should have called the cops, reported him for impersonating an officer and trying to get you to pull over.

    Marilyn travels in style

    Does the rear hatch shut with those two suitcases up top as shown? Haha. Soft-sided luggage works much easier in this car, but I like the matching leather. Who machined the wheels? Looks great! Tony

    When it's time for new tires...

    Now that I've had some experience with the Pirelli Corsa track pack tires, I can share some dismal information about them. They are nearly impossible to dismount without damaging the tire. I caught a nail in one of my rear tires, so I was dismounting it to patch the tiny nail hole. The tires...

    The very best Viper ever built !!

    It would be more reasonable to compare the price of a fully loaded Gen 4 with nav, vs a base model Gen 5. The Gen 5 base model still has more features than the loaded Gen 4. The prices are very close, then. People can hate on the Gen 5, but I still enjoy being one of those rare owners and...

    Saying bye and giving an apology

    BMW gave me another X5 Audi gave me an A5 when my S5 was in the shop Cadillac gave me another CTS when mine was in the shop Giving a $150,000 Viper buyer a Dodge Journey is unacceptable. For one 1 or 2 days, sure. But 58 days??? I thought SRT wanted to have its own brand? then SRT...

    Gen V on track - MSR Houston

    I'm not a pro. This was my first visit to this track. This was my first event in this car. There is always room for improvement.
