    my old viper

    Even the OP had "issues" with these guys. Caveat emptor is still the best rule when buying cars at the majority of dealers. Unfortunately, once that Viper left Quick's possession, all bets are off...

    my old viper

    Too bad it's at a dealership with a less than stellar reputation. If you do a search you will see they have pulled some crap in the past. Anyone who reads this forum would likely be a little suspect of just about anything they have for sale.

    Gen 4 Drive By Wire Band-Aid Fix....Sort Of

    Simple install and not expensive. Maybe these guys sent some samples to SRT for development work on the Gen V :D

    Will there be a Gen V at the LA Auto show?

    Yep, it was too sloooooow after owning a Gen IV:drive: I'm looking forward to seeing the Gen V in person. That way I have something to strive for.

    Will there be a Gen V at the LA Auto show?

    I would hope so considering California has the most Vipers out of any state in the country:omg: It's November 30th so there should be more of the V's available at that point. I sure hope the SRT reps are kind enough to let me try it on for size:D

    For those that had driven a Gen V at VOI

    Did SRT do away with the lag caused by the drive by wire, or does it still feel like a Gen IV? There has been references to "cutting the delay in half" and such, but I would like to hear from people who had enough seat time to really give a good opinion on this.

    Getting a GTS to Gen IV Power

    Stryker heads are no longer available if my memory serves me correctly.

    Dan Cragin is BACK!

    Welcome back! Now I just need to buy a Viper for you to work on. Should be lots of interesting cars going up for sale in the next few months!

    STOP! Someone is about to steal my Viper GTS!

    Autotrader.com is the best way to sell a car. Their site is easy to navigate and buyers can set alerts when cars they are interested in come on the market. Cars.com is also a good site.

    First Drive

    So, is the drive-by-wire throttle response improved or is it the same as a Gen 4?

    Pricing and Options announced today

    Even though the MPG figure has not been formally announced, I remember seeing a guestimate somewhere of 12/19. That means that according to the EPA schedule(which averages city 55% & Hwy 45%) the 2013 will have a $3,700 gas guzzler tax. at least 22.5 mpg No tax at least 21.5, but less...

    2013 dealers list for the sale of SRT Viper??

    So has any Southern California dealership stepped up to the plate yet? What about the new DC Performance?. Can a non-selling entity do warranty service like he had done in the past?

    2013 On the Track

    When they are just parked at the end of the video revving, it sounds like the drive-by-wire delay has not been corrected. That would be a shame.

    Is SSG worth all the BS?

    I won "Best Viper" at a large car show. It was a totally stock SSG with black stripe 'vert. Everyone thought it was an awesome and outlandish custom paint job. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

    Will the throttle response be improved?

    I guess I should have actually asked- will the "drive by wire" throttle delay be improved as mentioned in this thread concurrently running in the GenIV forum. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/655845-So-I-know-drive-by-wire-was-updated-in-09...

    Will the throttle response be improved?

    There have been numerous threads on the issue with respect to the Gen IV's, and it would be nice to know if this issued has been addressed on the Gen V's. Has there been any mention of this so far?
  19. Lawrenzo

    So I know drive by wire was updated in 09...

    The $264,000 question is whether this will be fixed on the Gen V's:omg: Both my former 2007 and current 2010 Grand Cherokee SRT8 have excellent throttle response using a similar system, so it's definitely doable!

    Gen V black with silver stripes

    I agree 100% I have yet to own a black Viper, but if I go for a Gen V this silver striped option will be on the top pf my list.

    The real scary part is that CAFE jumps to 55.5 MPG by 2025. Half our population will need to be riding bikes like the Chinese Communists in order to make that number. I vote for the half that doesn't pay any Federal income tax:lmao:

    Any word on Price yet???

    The new and improved version of the SRT8 Jeeps jumped over 35% in price(and they're actually a bit slower!) :omg: I'm sure SRT won't make the same misstep again.

    2006 coupe won't spin tires just flooring it?

    Glad to hear he's found a new home. Hopefully Dan likes Chinese food:idea:
