    Gen II Trunk Space

    Gen I and II RT/10s don't have enough space for both the soft-top and a envelope. If you need luggage space of any kind, get a GTS.

    A question for you racers out there

    For what the car is, the GEN-V is pretty light by today's standards. It's a Supercar, not a lightweight Hypercar like a Pagani or a P1. There really is no cheap way to go lighter on a low production car. Giving it more HP will be cheaper.

    What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01 GTS

    Re: What can be done about wheel hop?Got my first case of it tonight at the track-01 Two simple steps will greatly reduce your wheel hop. Get poly engine and trans mounts, and re-torque every bolt holding your diff and diff mounts to the frame. Mine were all loose and allowed the diff to...

    Based on a Viper - Zagato Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradales priced at $699,900

    All that money and they can't figure out how to put full size roll-up windows in? Is this still 1981? DMC? Why is that rear end so hideous? What's with the 25 year old Diablo rims? Is this for real?

    Just released Polaris Slingshot as an alternative to Ariel Atom?

    It looks cool from the front, but I just can't get see 3 wheelers being as safe as a four wheeler. They always look like they will eventually flip. But $20k will give the Atom a run for it's money.

    Since a Stock 2015 Hellcat w/ DR's Just ran 10.85 @126 ph in the 1/4 Mile...

    It's because it's a numbers game. The competition's mainstream flagships are all quarter mile monsters as well as great track cars. ZR1/Z06, 911 Turbo S, R8, GT-R are all 10 sec cars out of the box. What are the top three questions people ask you when they see your Viper? - How much...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    Well, for starters, I think his rear end design was great. The curves don't look dated to me, more like modern timeless.

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I wish this would be enough for most folks, but it's the peak numbers that sell. The 2016 GT350 Ford is working on will have a flat plane crank which will allow for 8k+ RPM's at 550HP all motor.

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    No Hellcat or any Hemi will ever find it's way in a GEN-V because it physically won't fit. The heads are too large and it would require a complete redesign of the front bulkhead. It's not a reliability issue, it simply won't fit, too wide. With that said, 8.4 liters is a lot of engine to work...

    My floating hood, (pics)

    I too discovered the floating hood a couple years ago. Never could do it on my 94' though.

    next car purchase...

    I guess being able to destroy everyone else both on the street and on the track is not for everyone. I personally will never get rid of my GTS unless it was for a better Viper because I love the looks, and will only get rid of my GT-R for a much faster GT-R. I think owning both is like having...

    next car purchase...

    Well you asked for it... I assume you must not have ever driven one on the track. A modded one on the street is an experience in itself. Did you use launch control? That's a rollercoaster ride in itself, modded or not. When you don't push the car, it's designed to give a plush and numb ride...

    New skin for my snake - from green to B/W

    It surprisingly looks really good. Like the Viper that never was. Tell everyone it was a one-off prototype.

    next car purchase...

    You seem to be pretty misinformed. First off, having owned two Vipers, I agree that the GT-R doesn't look as cool or sleek, especially in pictures. In person though, I get just as many, if not more thumbs up and stares in my GT-R as I do in my GTS. The GT-R looks like a Japanese muscle car, not...

    Side sill fender badge...

    I hate to ruin your visual, but the Viper was and still is assembled mostly by women, more than half on the assembly line. Besides, food is not allowed on the assembly line.

    Made the Leap to a Gen V took it to the track

    I have to disagree. A 2009 GT-R is not the same as a 2012+ stock GT-R. The newer GT-R brakes are better, the suspension is better, the transmission is better, and the reliability is better. The parts that usually break are the mods done for the street. The thing about the 2012+ GT-R is all it...

    Viper paint quality original?

    Take a pic. GEN1's have poor paint quality from the factory. Out in the sun no one can tell, but in the shade mine was noticeable. I had massive orange peel and fiberglass depressions on my 94', but this is normal. The hood was the worst. My GEN2 is better, but paint and prep didn't get good...

    What kind of Viper would you prefer?

    I picked "Fastest thing on the road." Which is one reason I sold my RT/10, kept the 98' GTS, and bought a modded GT-R. I was going to originally dump both Vipers for a GEN-V until I drove one, and quite frankly found myself wanting more power even before I purchased it. I don't know how I could...

    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    I have driven a town car, 8 years ago. One of the most reliable cars in America. Also one of the numbest and inferior and lacking luxury cars ever made. Didn't even have navigation when everyone else did. It does not even come close to what a "finer car" is. It's not FU money when you buy a...

    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    If a person considers the Lincoln Town Car "a finer car", they haven't driven a finer car, and that was my point. I'm talking AMG, M's, 991, R8, F-Type, 12C, even GT-R etc. My reference to the Crossfire being better built doesn't refer to it's track abilities, nor do I consider it a finer car...

    Very close to becoming a part of the Viper nation. Need forum input

    I agree with the OP on much of what he said, I could not see myself DD'ing a GEN-V or any Viper for that matter, but that's because I've experienced the finer cars out there. If all a person ever knew was a Camaro, Mustang, or Corvette all their life, a Viper seems like a huge step up. But if...

    Massive GM Recall = One Good Reason to get a Viper instead of a Vette

    I just read in autoweek that as of June 1st, there was a 290 day supply of Vipers, with 700 units sitting in the dealer lots. It was the highest inventory supply in 'days' of any car by about double. Compare that with a 22 day supply of Vettes sitting on the lots. likely low optioned, ugly...

    2 - get aftermarket cats, heat will go away. 5 - A really good installer could wrap Kim Kardashian's booty, so the hood should not be a problem. :moon:

    First holiday trip...with emergency wheel or kit?

    It doesn't matter because if you are on a trip and you blow the rear tire, where would you put the 13" wide rim? You'd be stuck with luggage sitting on your gf's lap. Ditch the spare.
