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

    1) A stock Gen 5 can cut 11s on a prepped track with stock tires. 2) A stock Gen 5 can cut 10s with a good pair of DRs and a competent driver on a prepped track. Did you buy your Gen 5 yet? Because I keep seeing you voice such disappointment and it seems like you have an innate knowledge of the...

    Gen V forum posting vitriol discourages SRT/Dodge participation

    With additional post you make, it's becoming more apparent that the Viper is not the car for you. If speed is all that matters to you, then buy a cheap car and drop a built engine in it. Whether or not you kick ass in whatever car you're in is more about you as a driver than the car itself. The...

    Gen V forum posting vitriol discourages SRT/Dodge participation

    Like many of the mag reviews, the anti-viper whiners seem to be crying about the Gen 5 (or viper in general) being something that it's not and was never intended to be. It's not Dodge's version of the Vette. Sure we can compare its performance to the Vette, and it's great that GM has made...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    It's like SRT set out to make the world's best pizza even better, and succeeded, then people complain that their pizza is not the greasy cheeseburger they claim they actually wanted. They then point out that the C7 is the best taco money can buy and that it's going to put the Viper's pizza...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I love the Gen 5 styling. It looks like a Viper should and the moment I saw a pic of it I knew I had to have one. This idea that we need to change for the sake of changing is pointless and the Gen 4 styling was uninspired, like many imports. Retro styling is for companies that have run out of...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    If power-to-weight is so important: F1 Racecar Typical Power: ~1,000 HP Typical Weight: 1,500 lbs Power-to-Weight: 1,000 / 1,500 = 0.67 HP/lb Top Fuel Dragster Typical Power: 9,000 HP Typical Weight: 2,400 lbs Power-to-Weight: 9,000 / 2,400 = 3.75 HP/lb I guess this means that the dragster...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    Wouldn't count on it as they are two distinct products. The hellcat is essentially a muscle car whose primary purpose is straight-line performance while the Viper is essentially a road course racing car with superb performance in all categories. Consider that the old GM fbodys were often...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I like that it's 707 and not just 700...that extra 7 HP gives it that extra nudge it needs. Doubt anyone who has a Gen 5 is going to be trading it in for this car, but the hellcat would not be a bad second car to have.

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

    People who say this have no credibility to begin with, and they know that, so they open with this in a weak attempt at making whatever they say next seem remotely relevant. No, the C7 isn't ugly, it's fugly. It's setting new boundaries for terrible aesthetics and poor taste, but I guess...

    jack stand placement--rear

    I would not bother with jack stands unless I needed to remove the wheels. Instead, I jack the car up and just place boards under the wheels as high as I need the car off the ground, then lower it. You can also use ramps and just lower the car onto the ramps instead of driving up onto them. If...

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

    You serious or can you just not count? GM has recalled more cars this year than were made in total by all manufacturers combined last year...but yeah, things like this happen routinely. I mean if GM doesn't recall another 5 million by next weekend it means something is wrong. Believe it, bro!

    Blind spot

    Just do what he said to the mirrors and you should be fine...plus it's easy to ensure you're always ahead of other cars because they're so slow compared to the Viper! hah!!

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    You claimed that the economy "has always been vibrant" after asking "what is a vibrant economy anyway", and I cited the Reagan era as an example of what a vibrant US economy would look like. By the numbers, arguably all that matter, the high and growing GDP with low and decreasing unemployment...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    You should be worried less about my reading comprehension and more about the fact that you can't make a consistent and/or factual statement in any of your responses. And I asked you to show me the documents you are referring to that informed you of Chrysler's corporate goals for the Viper...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Are my answers too complicated for you? Chrysler already has automated production lines for their other vehicles - IF they wanted to sell the Viper in larger quantities at a profit, it would make more sense to tool their current facilities for Viper production. You are the one claiming that...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    65 going on 5. Do you have a "no girls allowed" sign on your garage too? Porsche advertises, Porsche did not rebrand itself after going on a 5 year hiatus and Porsche most likely has a larger operating budget than SRT. Note that I never said that people would not buy a Viper and there was...

    My new GT3-R inspired GTS

    Looks great in the pics but how long is that vinyl going to stay looking that good? Does that stuff eventually peel or get ripples?

    Winding Road Article - Driven: 2014 SRT Viper TA - Great Review

    I would have expected the TA to have been more stripped down than it is, perhaps offered with a lightweight battery and titanium exhaust. It seems like it's just a base Viper with a track pack, the CF parts and some suspension tweaks. Any Gen 5 owner can make their non-TA viper into one that...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    You can claim that I don't know what I'm talking about, like Jacky B did, and then get mad when I shut you down with knowledge, like Jacky B did, and run off to another forum because you want to be "the smart guy" even though you're not...but none of that is actually disputing anything I said...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    - Most Americans do not join the military and neither did you, so what does that have to do with anything as it pertains to the Viper? Hint: nothing. - Unless someone is paying you to race (thus implying that you are THAT good), what you do on the track doesn't count. - If we did race on a...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Do you like dicks? Right, right. You're the champion of lazy old liberals who feel entitled to whatever they want and blind supporters of troops - even if said troops were never deployed. I bet you love this bergdahl guy...a real hero...you and bob should buy him a viper, allah willing. Wait...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    The Viper racing car is going to be designed and equipped for maximum performance, and it does not need to meet federal regulations so they have more flexibility as to how they can alter the chassis to fit an auto transmission. The racing version of the viper does not need to stick with any kind...

    Road & Track Article Z/28 vs.the World (Including Viper TA)

    Hmm... $75K for a Camaro that doesn't look much different from the ones you can get for ~$25K...pass.
