    2008 Dodge Viper Questions/Specs

    Marshall -- First, welcome to the board. I am guessing the numbers you posted were from Car and Driver and their comparison test with the Corvette Z06. There are some mags out there that have gotten better times (e.g., Road and Track recorded a 0-60 time of 3.4 s) but those figures are more...

    Air Bag/Safety Belts

    See the quote from Steve-Indy above: The reality is that a six point system will keep your torso strapped down tight but that -- without a HANS device -- this means your head and neck will be whipped around with eve more force during an impact which can cause the cervical dislocation...

    ACR convertible option

    It looks similar but I believe the downforce generated by the ACr is much higher than the aero group parts.

    OK. When is the Mopar Track Computer coming out?

    Flash -- the last estimate from Mark Jorgensen and Herb Helbig was "soon" and sometime in the next two weeks or so. /Rich

    ACR convertible option

    As the ACR is the more track oriented Viper, SRT probably decided that the coupe body style was better suited given aerodynamics, chassis stiffness and safety (some clubs won't allow a convertible at all or unless you have a dedicated rollcage). I agree that a convertible ACR would be fun. To...

    Air Bag/Safety Belts

    I know this does not really help since you already removed them but after installation of my 6-points I retained the 3-point belt and just put it on over the 6 points at driving schools. I do not know about airbag functionality but my concern would be voiding any warranty or creatinginsurance...

    ACR tire pressures?

    SoCal -- Are your 28-30 psi start pressures true cold pressures that you set in your garage the morning of the track day or are they the pressures you start with after having driven to the track? I am thinking about getting a set of the Sport Cups and am very interested in real world pressure...

    From page 13 of the ACR owners manual: "Racing Not Covered: The warranty does not cover the cost of repairing damage or conditions caused by racing, nor does it cover the repair for any defects that are found as the result of participating in a racing event. The term racing...

    Pics of my Bright Blue SRT

    I thought I was a freak about weight savings but you take the crown: removing all the body panels on the car will definitely improve the 0-60 etc. :D On a serious note, gorgeous car.

    Comments on living with a 4 Post lift?

    I have a four-post Rotary/Revolution lift. Getting in between the posts is no big deal for me or the family. The one thing is make sure your lift and ceiling can give you enough clearance to raise the lift so that people can walk under it without having to duck down; that would be a pain in my...

    Thanks Mark! I had always assumed that the bottom of the safe line on the dipstick was one quart below full.

    "GORT! KLAATU BARADA NICKTO" Anyone??

    Re: "GORT! KLAATU BARADA NICKTO" Anyone?? It was some sort of plastic but in the movie the military refer to it by some name like "KL37" or something like that. As an aside, I also really liked Rennie in this movie but I had a serious crush as a kid on the female lead, Patricia Neal...

    I'm really sorry to hear this; hopefully those responsible will be careless and get caught.

    ACR Video Review

    Thanks for the link. I think Randy, other than being one of the best road racers out there, also gives some of the most entertaining interviews.

    SRT Vehicles to be Fitted With Alcoa Dura-Bright Wheels

    From the article, sounds like the dura bright will be a surface treatment that will have a minimal impact on the wheel weight. It would be interesting to see if Alcoa actually starts making dedicated, lightweight rims for the Viper. If so and they can achieve even greater weight savings than...
