    2013 Viper to drop the Dodge name...

    I never take notes from Jaloppy but in this case I do believe it is branded as I thought I remembered Ralph mentoning something like this at his VOI11 speech on the new branding they would have in 2012 and beyond for all of Chrysler and Dodge. Unfortunately though it feels like it will never...

    101k on 04 roadster, was this anyones?

    The SRT-10 1/2 trucks are throwing up these high mileage numbers all the time so there is absolutely no reason to believe it can not get a whole lot more. I always said if I ever owned a Viper, it would be the highest mileage Viper in existence, but sadly after 5 years of ownership , since new...

    Congratulations Mr. Keating and Mr Katz, you made USA TODAY!

    When did people start to get their facts from Jalopnik. I mean come on USA Today! Congrats to Keating and Katz for any well deserved press for their efforts . The rest of the article is made of swiss cheese. Sorry all I see is an Alfa as well.

    Recon - 2014 Corvette ZR1 renderings

    It's official; there is no way anyone will mistake a GEN V Viper for a new 2014 Vette. Not impressed but then again not unwhat I expected from Chevy.

    Thanks Ralph and Chrysler!

    2013 Dodge Dart looks intresting for what it is. Looks like a great little car, but hardly a Dart. 40 mpg which is impressive. Wonder if they can stuff a Hemi in an SRT version. Ha! Ha!

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    Chuck; Ha! Ha! I will admit that things have gotten unnecessarily complicated in America but it is not like other 3rd world countries where dictators take away food and medicine to their masses or authorize mass public killings in villages. We are inconvinenced here in America on many things...

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    Shooter T1; Everyone's situation is different. Look if you don't want to have a sequential manual tranny then don't order it. I mean come on and evolve a bit. There are a lot of people that do want that option to finally get into a Viper because they can't or won't drive a stick. My wife and I...

    Its only a matter of time before this is done to a Viper

    First car painted in North America with Spectra Chrome was the Audi R8 show car West Coast Customs did for the movie studio unveiling of Tron. It looked cool, but I agree that a black chrome would be hot. It is a very labor intensive multistage paint process that takes minutes to bond with the...

    FrgMaster; No hard feelings. Not delicate, just had a moment.

    So long for now..

    Not going to steal this thread from the F430 topic, but I will state that I never said the GEN IV was not a better car out the box, I simply stated that it is not a totally different animal. When the GEN IV first came out, I had owned my GEN III coupe for about 1.5 years. Cost difference between...

    So long for now..

    Gen III, Gen IV totally different animals? Please!!!!!!!! Get off you Gen IV horse and walk in the real world. Yes it has 100 more HP, but non ACR cars have same brakes, slightly different top gears in tranny that most will never realize and both still offer inferior diffs that are crap. Many...

    So long for now..

    If comparing exhaut notes, the best sounding factory exhaust I have EVER heard is a Spyker C8. Absolutley music. I have it on my computer from a Denver C&C and Wow!

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    I am confident Ralph and SRT will deliver a package where the government mandated electronic aids are as non-evasive as possible. Ralph and crew are well aware of the feelings of Viper owners on this issue. Hey we did not see cam-in-cam coming and I am willing to bet they have something else up...

    So long for now..

    Cars come and cars go! Wish you the best with the F430. Spent some time in my friends 08' Scuderia with him in the passenger seat and it was a very nice car. EXTREMELY quick and light on it's feet. Maintenance was very affordable, based by older Ferarri standards. Personally for the money...

    Been almost another year now, where is Michelin PS3s?

    So it has been almost another year now, wondering where Michelin is at for PS3 tires for older Vipers? My 06' is still on factory run flats (waiting for a better tire, not interested in PS2s as that is still old Micehlin technology compared to the newer tire model technologys like PS3 and the...

    Pics of my Rear Mount Twin Turbo Build on my Viper

    Those last two pictures make it look like it is syphoning power from the center of the earth.

    Motons are Ridiculous!!!

    I am saving up for this Moton upgrade as well. BTW the sheep with the Black and Red Ribbon is Mark's so you have to stay away from that one.

    MOPAR ECU did not dyno well, lost 12wtq/gain 5whp - Graph inside

    1.8t; If it is nice out this weekend, I would take it out and drive around for 200 to 300 miles and burn through a tank and a half in all types of driving conditions. As the ECU self tunes, it will get stronger and stronger. It is like any control loop. If everything else is installed properly...

    MOPAR ECU did not dyno well, lost 12wtq/gain 5whp - Graph inside

    Doesn't the new ECU have to learn for a few hundred miles first? Hard to tell if the corrected amounts are right as factors being used are not shown. You sure all spark plug wires are on fully and don't have a small gap in one.

    Coupon orders for the Gen V

    Or maybe the Ultra Rich are cutting back from $150k Cayennes and the like to a $70k Jeep SRT8. They recognize the hit on depreciation on the exotics and are done losing money. Now a less money domestic with some potential collector value looks better to them. I know a few guys who could have...

    Opinions please.

    Plunking down only 10% to 20% cash on a car, then financing the rest is not where most would want to be. If you are putting down $36K or $37K and financing only $20K, your payments over say 5 years are going to be very small. Those that express, just write a check for this or that, 100% cash for...

    Viper Fire Truck!

    Does ever V8 have something to prove?

    A good indication if you may or may not have trouble, is if the guy is not reving his engine, etc. beside you but is just sitting there and car/truck is rocking back and forth with the idle lump of the cam. If that is the case, it is better to just tip your hat and let them go Slowly walk off...
