    Viper GTS-R Inaugural Race - August 4, 2012 Mid-Ohio - American Le Mans Series

    "The specifications for the class it will run it are: Normally aspirated engines: 5500 cc maximum. Horsepower 450-500. Yet all the literature references the V10 engine." As stated, the V-10 is running at 8 lt. ALMS makes many adjustments to try and equalize the cars. For example, the BMW...

    I asked Ralph about mule ride height..

    Absolutely incredible!!! The fight to hold weight and meet weight targets during development testing is long and painful. For the Viper team to have reduced weight during development testing is a real feather in their hat!:2tu:

    Chrysler will limit stores selling SRT Viper

    Bill, What requires such extensive training? :dunno: Jay Leno inferred you could repair a Viper V-10 with a shedge hammer.:rolaugh: There is no unique technology in the Viper V-10 with the exception of the cam shaft. For the rest, you have a push rod V-10 with no more computer...

    How about a GT Package?

    Primarily, the light weight wheels and brakes from the track pac with "street" tires. That way you would get the advantages of less unsprung weight and keep the "streetability" of the normal tires. :2tu:

    Couple more new pictures...

    Re: Couple more new pictures.... I am amazed how the colors change the presence of the car! Blue with white stripes are definately racing colors as are white with blue stripes. Black is "evil!" Styker red is elegant. The green is in your face. Etc, etc ,etc. I wonder what blue with a Scarab...

    Next phase

    The Xtrac trans that the GTS-R (and Corvette) uses, among others, is a trans axel i.e. it has been moved to the rear. Further, when operated correctly, it actually improves clutch life over that of a manual operated system. I'm not sure which specific unit Viper uses but here's the Xtrac home...

    Next phase

    IMHO, once we get the Viper well and truly launched. Here's what I'd like to see: A radically improved dealer network adding value to the ownership experience. On second thought, I'd like to see this right now.:headbang: DI. I know the problems with applying it to a two valve push rod...

    Wife passes on 2013 Viper GTS

    IMHO you asked for her opinion before she experienced the new Viper, or for that matter before any of us experienced the new Viper! My wife who is brillant, can not "imagine" things. Cartoons and comics and a lot of graphics can not be translated by her mind into "meaning."She can't look at a...

    Blue and Black ACR Concept (SRT Hood) - Photoshop

    Did you create the hood yourself? I don't mean the stripes, but the hood vents? If so, nice job!:2tu: If not, where did you find it?:dunno:

    Chrysler will limit stores selling SRT Viper

    First, this is a repeat of very old news. However, I'm glad it has generated some interest. Ralph's plan as I understand it is that only about 15 to 20% of all dealers will be willing to invest the time, energy and money to meet the requirements necessary to carry the SRT line of cars. If that...

    2013 SRT Viper GTS and ALMS Viper at Mile High Nationals

    You may think that's the GTS-R show car, BUT REALLY it's the coming ACR in disguise;):2tu::headbang: As for the tires, according to one of Ralph's launch videos, Michelin chose not to provide the street tires because the size required would be a one of a kind. Pirelli did chose to respond...

    Any guesses when Gen V wheels will be purchasable?

    On the launch video Ralph said that there will be seven (7) different style of wheels, each with their own part number that you can order on the Viper. I hope that means you can order the track pac wheels separately from the track pac tires. I don't know about the lighter brake packare.

    NEW GEN 5 PICS!

    Confirm. Ralph was giving a walk around and said the rear "duck bill" spoiler would be slightly taller on the production car. Has to do with proper aero balance between the front and rear of the car. Appears that SRT thinks some of the Viper owners are going to try and see if it really will...

    NEW GEN 5 PICS!

    Austin, Does the red one look like the two vent GTS hood to you? Not the six vent SRT hood? The draft listing by SRT showed the six vent hood as the only one for the SRT Viper and an option for the GTS. :dunno:

    VCA priority on 2013 cars

    Two, somewhat conflicting comments from Ralph interviews. First, VCA members will be moved to the front of the line. Second, some dealers dropped the Viper because of the past allocation program. There, now you're as confused as I am.:dunno: IMHO, there will be some attention paid...

    Gen V Price???

    BINGO!!!:2tu: My wife says OK on a Gen V, my financial guy says lets wait until they're out to see what things look like in a few months, and my STOMACH says, is there a dealer nearby that I would trust to service the car? That's the basic ingrediant to the ownership experience. So, my job...

    Long discussion interview with Ralph on SRT Viper

    Ralph makes reference to an eight (8) speed trans coming. Was that with the Dart or was the subject the Viper? :dunno:

    Gen V Price???

    "1. On the new GC SRT8 is that most Colorado dealers have the market adjustment "rape" sticker of 20% overcharge slapped on so there are quite a few sitting around presently, which is their own doing. " IMHO, if Dante were alive today, he would have a special place in Hades for this kind of...

    Gen V Price???

    On the Jay Leno interview, he said $110,000 and she said a little more than that. They were looking at the GTS which was later auctioned off. So can we count on a GTS being "a little more" than $110,000? Ignoring any dealer greed. If you look at the market and price a ZR1 Corvette, a little more...

    Long discussion interview with Ralph on SRT Viper

    I understand your concern but I'm not sure that 2000 or so would cause dilution. Ferrari is pushing their production toward 4,000 a year without fear of dilution. They do curently sell to a larger market and have more models than Viper. However, Viper is just starting with models. A convertable...

    Viper testing at Mid Ohio on July 4th

    Getting desired results from a suspension change isn't easy. First, if the hard points on the chassis are the same, applying the new suspension in the rear shouldn't be too hard from a mechanical point of view. Clearence maybe an issue. However, the new Viper has a chassis that is 50% stiffer...
