Which has an interesting series of articles on the ZF - Chrysler licensing agreement and the varios trans. being built by Chrysler and being bought. As I recall, the SRT Jeep with auto uses a ZF trans but I can't make out if it is...
Simply do a google search on ZF 8HP90. You'll find a great deal of information specific to both the trans itself and the licensing agreement with Chrysler. The trans info shows the max inout capacity for the trans. The licensing agreement shows what Chrysler is doing currently about building...
Been looking at the Chrysler - ZP licensing arrangement as applies to trans. It appears that the ZF 8HP90 (Eight speed) has ample capacity to handle the 600 lb-ft input of the V-10. Further, it is relatively small and light. Lastly, it is avaiilable to Chrysler for purchase under the current...
Hypothetically speaking, if a person wanted to disable the skip shift feature, all that would be necessary would be to disconnect the wires leading to the solenoid and wire a proper rated resister across the two wires. In that manner, the “computer” sees what it expects when it send a signal to...
I was recently asked to participate in a survey by the new ruling body of the united ALMS and Grand Am series. I made the point very strongly that the European bodies handicap the Vet and Viper in favor of their own makes while the US bodies also handicap the Vet and Viper. There isn't a level...
You mean read ALL through each post. :rolaugh: I've got my brain on Viper V automatic pilot when reading this forum. Oddly, there's a guy on the C7 forum with the same name BigDawg.
My bad.
Thanks
Was there a 2013 website for the Viper similar to that which you indicate for "Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc?" I don't recall a build your own for the 2013.:dunno:
IMO, MB blew it on the styling. Instead of using the 1952 race car as a styling theme, they should have used the 1954 street coupe. That's the car that means gull wing to most folks. :2tu:
PS The less said about MT the better. They're a dying magazine that has chosen to try to survive by...
Does anyone know where to find a complete list of 2014 SRT Viper and SRT Viper GTS Specifications? That should list all the options including the colors.
IMO, the folks at SRT are stretched a bit too thin. I get the feeling that they know what to do, but given limited resources, the priorities just aren't in keeping with what some of the Viper Nation would like to see. The Viper's job is to be the halo car for the launch and continuation of the...
Please check the published specs for the GT-3 by SRT. The GT-3 comes with the same Xtrac 6-speed paddle shift rear mounted trans as the GTS-R.
Second, not all paddle shifted trans are created equal. The basic difference is between the location of the trans and the trans type. With out getting...
Not going to happen as long as the dealer associations in each state and on a national level have the political power they have. As I recall, this model has been tried before and the dealers manage to get laws applied against this model. Same thing with enforcing MSRP.:nono:
Ralph has stated several times that there will be a natural shake out among those dealers who did initially sign up for the Viper and to be SRT dealers. I wish I could refer you to the specific interviews but I didn't make notes at the time. Apparently the idea was that those who are willing to...
The paddle shifters are the result of including the rear mounted Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission as part of the package. Same transmission as the GTS-R and the Corvette C6R and other race cars. SRT was given a special variance by the rules committee to utilize these transmissions. Also...
IMO, the Viper is the halo car for the SRT brand in a way the Viper was never the halo car for Dodge. Ralph has said he needs the Viper to launch the SRT brand properly. Getting the dealer organization organized and "shaken out" is a big step in establishing the SRT brand. That meant getting...
IMO, the ARC will not go that high because it will be GTS based not GTS-R based. BIG difference. Check the Porsche pricing on their GT-3 vs any of the street performance models even the turbo. The ARC may have a lot of the body styling of the GTS-R and some performance upgrades but it is not...
