    Dashboards : Gen 5 vs Vette 2014

    That isn't what the new vette will look like, is it? Chevy needs to move away from that Transformer look. Square anything does not belong on a sports car. This is why I can't bring myself to own a chevy car. Chevy truck from the early 90s was as close as I could come. I have to admit in the...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    American thumbs up cost it 2 seconds in lap time. Ha! Ha! Was like watching WWE. 2 seconds back or not, it looked damn good out there. Wish I had the scratch!

    What would you like to see in the ACR?

    ACR will probably follow in the foot steps of Ferrari's Scuderia and Challenge Stradale. Basically a striped interior, Carbon Fiber Door and interior panels. No sound deadening. Alcantara leather interior covering on dash and seats.Revised body panels, aero and stripes. Magnesium rims, race...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Well now we know the Mayans were referring to this Viper thread and not the demise of the earth or civilization. Boy the weirdos have come out. Just stop it already, this all is just making the VCA look bad and some of the posters have a lot more than feet shoved in their mouths. It is one test...

    Mini Gen V In the Works?

    Exactly Bill! Had Saleen not had the little brother S281 come along to fund all the fun and excitement for the S351, then the S351 would have been no more much sooner. Even though they only sold around 100 or around 50 per year of the S351, they would not have had it after 1996 without the S281...

    Mini Gen V In the Works?

    With the price point of the GEN V GTS Viper in the stratasphere for most now, it does open up an opportunity for those that can only afford 1/2 of a new GTS Viper and spend $50K to $75K. Most likely Ralph is talking about either the new Cuda, Firepower or Demon. Either way you look at it, there...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Disappointed in Motor Trend! I would not trust these numbers or this MT report as anything beyond just plain reading material because reality is, it is a car magazine and what sells magazines. Controversy!!!!!! They have zero credibility and always have with their BS comparos to winning status...

    Sad day. Sold my Viper

    Great car and really good looking! I saw one here in Denver recently in white but it had Scuderia like rims on it. I am not a dark color rim fan but boy did that combination really wake that particular car up. It did look mean!

    Gallardo.....Scuderia.......Gen V Viper

    Having owned a GEN III Viper Coupe from new for 6 years and having spent some time in my friend's Scuderia both on and off the track, at a realistic comparison of a new $150K GTS versus a used Scud or Gallardo at the same $150K price, as much as I like the GEN V GTS and a new vehicle option, I...

    Questions about Laguna Interior

    Huge, huge difference is quality and feel of Laguna option versus standard SRT. I realize it is $7.5K large option price but on a car this expensive to start with, unless you track it and and have zero consideration for comfort, you will deeply regret not getting the Laguna option for the feel...

    Used market flood

    Oh boy, you need to put on a Kenny Rogers album and chill. "Know when to hold em', no when to fold em', know when to walk away, know when to run!" There are lots of vehicles faster than the Viper and other cars, blah, blah, blah. A 4 door sports car is purchased because someone needs 4 doors...

    MotorTrend's Review

    He looks like he is constipated! Maybe he should have had a big dump first before getting in the Viper because I am sure it scared the S^&T out of him. I would say those seats were uncomfortable too if I fill my diaper while driving it. Guy looks and writes like a punk. How do these guys...

    Used market flood

    Don't see prices going up for used GEN I-IV Vipers with new GEN V on the horizon. The new GEN V did not suddenly fix the faults (to a small group; positives) of the older GENs. If the demand was there for that type of specific car, then the older GENs would all be selling like hot cakes and they...

    Used market flood

    Those that don't think the previous Gen used Vipers market will be greatly increased in the Spring are in denial.

    The Inevitable!

    If this mpg was a concern, you would not see SRT moving the Viper from 3.08 to 3.55 rear gears. The whole mpg numbers from regs are bs numbers. They are not real world. I believe the viper is SRT to qualify for small vehicle manufacturer status, for SRT like Saleen did. There are different fed...

    This is how the Viper will be towed to the track next season...

    That thing is so big your side steps have side steps. LOL!!!! I see those all the time here in Colorado, I think Medved does a lot of the conversions. You just need some large PIAA lights on top and a real push bar, then you will be the real road warrior. Fun!!!!!!!!!

    Option Page Updated

    $150K for a Viper GTS in Shadow Blue with Silver Stripes, Track Pack, all Carbon Fiber options except for Aero, Upgraded Tan Interior, Upgraded Stereo, etc., etc. full load BEFORE Tax. I am sorry but that is beyond excessive for a Viper. You can buy a used Scuderia with very low miles for $15K...

    SRT Dealer Locator is up!

    Well there is Pro-Chrysler Jeep in Colorado. The worse and most crooked dealership around. Got my money, once...........on a bucket of bolts new 07' Jeep SRT8, they refused to stand behind. Amazing how money buys things. Though since they state the 1 ton and above trucks as a seperate line item...

    Well NineBall; you show me a silver or chrome polish wood wheel and then I will take that comment seriously. :)

    Belanger headers and stock Gen 3 cats?

    Well than Cali is not the toughest anymore. Depending on county, but Douglas County, Colorado has 7 minute rolling dyno on a tuned up emissions dyno with full exhaust colection system all while plugged into the states computer. Visual inspection for O2 sensor locations, correct number and...

    Track Pack Option

    I think that SRT does listen a lot Bill, but in some cases not. This rims color selection it is definitely not. I can honestly say that I have not bought certain vehicles over the years solely because of factory rim choices and/or black only rim options. Do not underestimate the power of a...

    Belanger headers and stock Gen 3 cats?

    George; That last trip up to Idaho Springs a few months ago, when I sat at the dinner table with Dick Winkles, we had an indepth conversation on this very issue (initiated by me of course). According to Dick, we can change the cat-back out to most anything and it will be fine with EPA. The...

    Belanger headers and stock Gen 3 cats?

    Been there and done that. Want to learn from my expensive lesson, you cannot pass strict (where state puts on dyno and plugs into computer) emissions with hi-flows nor just two primary cats (stock swapped). Only will pass with stock 4 cat system. Also will fail on visual inspection as front O2...
