    YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THIS - THE NEW VIPER WILL RUN 10'S IN THE 1/4 MILE

    Re: YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THIS - THE NEW VIPER WILL RUN 10\'S IN THE 1/4 MILE C&D tested the Venom 600, with roughly the same power as the new Viper (but with the stock run flat tires) and they managed 0-60 in 3.4, 0-100 in 7.5, and the 1/4 mile in 11.4@ 127MPH, so there is certainly the...

    How bout that coupe with the new Razor wheels?

    I'm also not a big fan of the new wheel design. Of the current choices I like the 5 spoke wheels best. :laugh: But it would be fun to see the ACR/BBS style in the 19" size on the new Viper.

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    I was really surprised and pleased when Plymouth had the guts to actually build the Prowler, pretty much unchanged from the concept car. Sure it should have had a V8 and a manual transmission, but I'm sure that V6/semi-auto parts bin sharing had to be conceeded to just to greenlight the car's...

    997 GT3

    Yes the new 997 GT3 is a very close match in performance for a stock Gen II Viper driven well. With AWD he will likely get ahead from a standing start, and you might have an advantage running from a rolling start, but it will be close. :laugh:

    D-Day is approaching.... What will happen to the Viper?

    DC has shown that they can keep a secret well with the Chrysler ME412 supercar's sudden car show appearance a few years ago. :cool: But also everyone anticipated the Viper to have upgraded power a year ago (which would have been far better timing against Z06), so I'm really hoping that DC...

    Gas Mileage

    My best mileage was 26MPG with the original 3.07 gears on a long trip, and subsequently 24MPG (averaging about 80 with the A/C on) after swapping in 3.55 gears. That's one of the comments that always makes me smile when people comment on how terrible the gas mileage of the Viper is. I average...

    GTS vs. GT3 Cup car

    Yeah that earlier Porsche article was clearly biased. They did have an expert racecar driver piloting both cars, but he was an expert in racing Porsches, and a newbie to the Viper. So not surprisingly the Porsche won, if only by a small margin. As mentioned, the discrepancy showed up with PMUM's...

    All Time Record - 5 Blue SRT Convertibles On eBay

    I think that it was just a timing issue. The blue SRT-10s were definitely a limited edition model, but I do think that a couple dealers snatched up more than they would normally have bought, thinking that people would be drawn to them. It' is my favorite color, and if I was looking for a new...

    We need a bone stock gen1/2, 1/4 mile list. I can help

    It's just a tricky proposition. Most people who keep their Viper bone stock don't drag race, and most anyone who is interested in performance is going to very quickly modify their car from stock. Things like adding smooth tubes and high flow air filter and high flow cats are a no-brainer as...

    06 B/W Coupe or B/silver coupe?

    Another vote for blue with silver stripes here. :laugh: But you seriously cannot go wrong with any of these color combos as they all look great!

    SRTC with ACR wheels...

    I've always liked the look with ACR wheels, blue with silver stripes. :laugh:

    SRT-10 vs Some exotics(high-speed test)

    The quoted sales prices that I've seen for a new SRT-10 Viper in Germany are 110.000 Euro and 280.000 Euro in Denmark. And it's priced over $300,000 AUS in Australia.

    SRT-10 vs Some exotics(high-speed test)

    First off there haven't really been any favorable tests that I've seen of the Viper in Germany so far. The Autobild tests of the SRT-10 Viper on the NRing and acceleration are terrible, and they don't mention that they were done on a wet track by someone inexperienced with driving the Viper. For...

    Any bay area people want to go to a dyno?

    My $741 speeding ticket I recieved today.

    When I was a teenager I got a ticket for speeding. It was around 2AM, and technically in a 25MPH zone going around 130MPH. The police officers said that they could just take me to jail, but I knew that they couldn't because I had gotten out of the car and was already in the house when they came...

    2008 Dodge Viper

    Many insurance companies are giving discounts for cars with traction control, and some people are looking to have it mandatory for all new vehicles by law in a few years. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2006-09-10-stability-control_x.htm I don't mind traction control as long as you can turn...

    New Mods to my 2006 Coupe

    Great pictures. Your car looks beautiful. :laugh: But I'd really worry about speed bumps and steep driveways with only a couple inches of ground clearance left now. :eek:

    A little surprised at Insurance costs.....

    I've been with AAA for many years, and my rates actually dropped when going from my previous Corvette to the Viper 5 years ago. So I upped my limits to full coverage and $500 deductable and it currently costs me around $1175 a year, with no tickets or accidents in the last 7 years. :laugh:

    Where did the "08 Viper debut at NAIAS" go?

    Re: Where did the \"08 Viper debut at NAIAS\" go? As opposed to the most enthusiastic Corvette fans, I'm not anticipating that the Corvette SS (Blue Devil) will be the super lightweight, Enzo killer that it's predicted to be. I see it being closer to just a regular Corvette (targa and...

    Stock for stock, which is faster in the 1/4? C6 or GTS?

    The Viper's huge torque makes it easy to spin badly in 1st and 2nd, so the C6 Corvette has a launching edge that puts it nose to nose with the stock R/T10 or GTS at the 60ft, but once the Viper can put all of it's power down it will slowly walk away from a stock C6 Corvette with equal drivers...

    Viper VS. Z06 - VIDEO!!

    Thanks ASKYOURWIFE, Judging cars soley by the best numbers ever obtained is not an accurate in reflecting the performance that people will actually get out of a car. The average times for C5 Z06s at my local dragstrip ranged between 12.5 and 12.9, on street tires. That's not accounting for...

    0-60 mph help....

    Between 57MPH and 62MPH with the Viper's stock 3.07 gearing and rev limiter. :cool:

    0-60 mph help....

    Because of the Viper's huge torque, it's not a simple car to launch well. Frankly with higher performance cars, 0-60 is not the best test (even though it's a standard) 0-100MPH is a better indicator of usable performance. And your Viper should manage between 8.5 and 9.0 seconds to 100. But with...
