    Video of the 11.19 @126mph pass

    Spectacular performance; with your skill, when the car's broken in you'll see 10's easily. Congratulations and start looking for a ZR1 to crush...

    Tire Pressures SRT 10

    That would depend a lot on the rubber you're using but my '08 Coupe with PS2s feels better overall at 30/31. Viper techie at selling dealer suggested 30 for the street, from experience; I've tried 29, 30 and 31 and for everyday tooling around (short runs) 30 is a noticeable improvement over the...

    Road and Track Article

    I agree with R&T's characterization 100%. While the Viper does invite comparisons with the muscle cars of yore (sound, certainly, and the absence of techno-nannies requiring alert drivers), the difference between the Viper and the '60s muscle (stock or modified) is that the Viper also reliably...

    Pete Gladysz - SRT Powertrain Manager retires!

    I think the 2008 Viper SRT10 is the most satisfying combination of performance, reliability, drive-ability and styling ever produced by the Big Three; a spectacular concept superbly executed and proof that, among the Big 3, Chrysler still has the edge in engineering. A pure joy for all gearheads...

    Ran into a new GT-R on the highway yesterday!

    For what it's worth, Motor Trend's latest issue gave the GTR their COTY award and was the first mag I've seen to get it into the 11's (11.5 @120) so it would be a tight 1/4 match-up with a new '08. However, previous test stats show the car's a stone after 120 and I suspect any GEN 3 or 4 running...

    Gear Swap for '08's

    Couldn't agree more.

    My Viper was STOLEN.

    Bad news. If you get it back, invest in a BOOMERANG. You have to take the sensor/homer with you at all times (i.e. you can leave the keys at home but not with the homer) but any thief driving away will be located within 5 minutes of the heist. I wish you well.

    ACR Dyno numbers

    For what it's worth, my bone stock '08 SRT10 Coupe made 533 RWHP and 503 RWTQ last week on a DynoJet.

    Imploding Windows?!?!

    Both sides imploding suggest bad final fit when doors are closed and windows seal automatically; pressure on base of window obviously extreme eventually leading to fatigue in glass. While it could be 2 pieces of bad glass on one car, I would look at window motors' calibration - not sure if...

    Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

    This subject has been covered well since first posted but I thought I'd add these facts for perspective when comparing the new Viper to Vettes (or Chevy motors) of all persuasions: the ZO6 makes 470 lb.ft at 4,900 RPM, the '08 SRT V10 makes 470 lb.ft at approx. 2,500 RPM - a lack of low-end...

    11.32 @ 129 08 coupe

    dumping the clutch at 2500rpm and letting the car bog. Are you speed-shifting (no let-up on gas when changing gears)?

    Winter Storage

    Advice I received for winter storage from Viper techie at dealer: 1. Pump the tires up to 40/45 (prevents flat spots later) 2. Change oil and filter 3. Fill gas tank - prevents condensation 4. Detail the car 5. Put cardboard or cloth between windshield and wiper blades 6. Cover the car...

    08 coupe 11.48 @ 124 mph with a 1.93 60ft

    If I read your message correctly, you have less than 1,000 miles on the car; if that's the case, you're in for a treat when the V10 loosens up. My '08 Coupe reached puberty at around 3,500 miles: engine tone dropped noticeably (I thought I had punctured the exhaust somewhere) and a very...
