Disables the the skip-shift. Improves the throttle response (I couldn't really tell). Doesn't care so much about emissions so no check engine light with headers change. 93 octane minimum.
Idles higher, also more revs at the top end too.
Supposed to make more power as a result of that. It will...
No radar detector will spot a cop sitting in hiding waiting for someone to run a stop sign, s/he doesn't need a laser/radar to see you not come to a full stop. You are not invisible nor invincible with a radar detector. No matter how good your protection is, you can still be nailed visually for...
Depends on which beltronics model, I think. The STi-R Plus is the same model as the Escort 9500ci with some slight firmware differences.
The best detector is the V1, but the Escort 9500ci/STi-R comes really close and has a slew of modern features.
The V1 is the most chatty by far (false...
Super Sports are better as a daily driver since they don't tramline as much and have more of a tread in case it rains.
Other than that no real problems for me. Treadwear rating is pretty low too, but the price of those rears are really good.
Found the quote:
"Moving to the rear of the car, the Mopar carbon fiber wing is another piece that has been developed to increase down force alongside the front splitter. This full carbon fiber piece can generate 300 lbs. of down force at 150 MPH. or 500 lbs. at top speed. It's a beautiful and...
If you haven't watched Top Gear before I can see where you're coming from, but it really has been their schtick for years and years to bash the Americans. Jeremy and Hammond have both owned American cars so I'm betting that what they say on television isn't always really what they think, but...
That was more of a poke at Hammond being unable to defend the Viper since James and Jeremy conspired to send him to Mexico. They play up the hating on American cars theme but only the thin skinned will really take umbrage. They like to poke fun at Americana and Hollywood, and since Hammond is...
The planes vs the cars on the track was beyond pointless. Still it's just entertainment, wasn't a serious review at all.
Having the Viper being compared to the Vanquish and LF-A is a point in the Gen V's favour though, because it will lend credence to people who are thinking about cross...
I was highly disappointed that the reorganization/bankruptcy took out a lot of dealers that were considered to be great dealers by the community here, yet dealers with a much poorer reputation were allowed to stay open.
It'd be my wish that the VCA community would be able to help shortlist a...
I think SRT needs to get the word out that Vipers are all mostly hand-built and painted by hand. It would do them a world of good for the higher end market to perceive this as a premium product rather than just a big engine stuffed into a two door car.
For this premium perception to be made...
Are these new buyers the people that come to these boards and post? I don't know... I also don't think that being the #1 performance king is that big of deal in that slice of the market either. Otherwise the Gallardo, 458, 911 turbo etc., would never sell from one year to the next as the...
If you're referring to the Arao heads, those are frauds from what I've been reading.
This is just a sampling:

Ah yes, that is true, Jack.
I did take the idea to middle management at Chrysler [former SRT engineer] and he got in touch with one of the SRT engineers [both shall remain nameless]. We did text back and forth about it a bit, and their main concern was warranty issues (fraudulent/abuse claims...
Well the Gen V engine is pretty closely related to the Gen IV engine so this is where the sore spot is...
The Gen IV engine controller is locked down and without any factory help it is very limited in cheap mods.
Also the Gen V targeted everything around (some would say "but") the engine, and...
I don't think so...I can see a discount on the items that do offer the 20% off...like these rims here:
