    I'm convinced Motor Trend hates the Viper (Video)

    I'm not a mag racer, you missed the part where I said I've already gone 11.63 in my bone stock GT500 and that's before the 1st oil change. What times have you turned in the 1/4 so far in the gen5? I'm sure my GT500 will be faster than my gen5, running 10s on a GT500 is about as simple as it...

    Matte Gray SRT

    At least it's not chrome, not until Bieber buys one anyway. It is a little played out, but I do get it, it's mad max like and different - although not so much any more. I wouldn't do it, but yea, I get what they're shooting for with it. But, I'm more mad max than lime green or yellow, lol...

    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    Just never get out, I mean once you get in a gen5 you don't want to get out, so ... ;-) Thanks for sharing, 140 seems like an improvement, you could probably have hotter spots on the car from sun exposure. I'd think a little strategic heat wrap and a Corsa pipe and you'd have the coolest...

    Ralph Gilles' Dyno Results

    He must have gotten the RG Package. (Ralph Gilles choice of engines on the line) It's good to be the King. :D

    I'm convinced Motor Trend hates the Viper (Video)

    I do. You don't need any of that. Less than 600 mis on the clock I baselined my 2014, bone stock (including crappy tires) at 11.63 ET. Drag radials alone should take care of the gen5 in a straight line. Even top speed is about the same GT500 at 202mph. With a $1200 invesment the GT500 makes...

    Forgeline GA3 Wheels on my Gen V

    Yea, I like those. Would be cool if the calipers were a contrast color with that nice "see- through" spoke.

    Gen V Test Drive - Just Curious

    You can always go SRT model and then do a suspension so you can dial it in how you like. Common mod. Could be an 'over time' mod choice.

    Gen V Test Drive - Just Curious

    If you think the Shelby is too rough a ride in comfort mode (yes I had a 2011 and now a 2014 Shelby with the track and perf pkgs), then I can tell you as a gen4 owner and having driven a gen5, the new viper is not for you. The Shelby in comfort steering and N suspension mode is a luxury ride...

    2013 SRT Viper set a production car track record at High Plaines Raceway in Colorado

    Re: 2013 SRT Viper set a production car track record at High Plaines Raceway in Color LoL, I know right. Not to mention it's the first production car "recorded time" so it's a record of one, and is it official as such??? Details, details. But fun to watch for sure, even a second time.

    Just Picked UP White/Gunmetal Stripes Gen V

    I normally am not a fan of the SRT stripe design, but it looks really good in that combo for some reason ... aggressive. Congrats, looks awesome.

    Sell my ACR? I'm torn...

    Yea, just need to figure what you really want. I've met a bunch of guys with ACRs who act like I'm crazy to suggest tracking them. If you're not, I don't know why you'd have one, its' what it's built for, I guess for the attention or to polish it, but I don't get it. But then I don't get the...

    2010 ACR vs GEN V car

    Who takes an ACR to the drag strip & doesn't pull the wing? If you're there, where it doesn't belong in the 1st place, then surely you're trying to score a nice ET so you'd pull the wing, oherwise, why bother, you know it's slowing it down at the strip. As for the OP, based on perf #s I've...

    304 New gen 5 Vipers on Autotrader for sale

    Do we know the invoice to MSRP gap on SRT & GTS? Hearing dicounts ranging from $5-20k, I'm wondering what's in the MSRP that dealers have to play with.

    Anyone know the changes for 2014 model ?

    I don't know if we officially know, good question, or if options will change through the ordering year. Info has been another frustration IMO. I've had the cash for this car sitting in an account since Oct. Waited for VOI to know what I wanted, heard about aero, and vert, wanted to wait til...

    Gen V Convertible Pic

    Looks very much like what Ralph showed us at VOI.

    Anyone know the changes for 2014 model ?

    You're right, which is why it's not put me out yet. Just like you can get a super cool set of rims from DV8 vs the TP wheels and it'd be great. But, I was really excited they had my exact desire, from the factory, and I love the TP wheels in black. I'm just disappointed I lost my perfect...

    Anyone know the changes for 2014 model ?

    I hate to say it but it makes me feel the same way, after 14 yrs of vipers I feel let down on this point. I was excited when I saw Billet Silver for MY14, I think that kid like excitement of picturing my Silver/Black SRT with TP and black Wheels, and then hearing no TP anymore, was a double...

    304 New gen 5 Vipers on Autotrader for sale

    Yea, IMO dealer have almost ruined autotrader. It's still a good source, but more a pain than it used to be. So many bogus ads and pre-listing and sold vehicles listed from dealers to sift thru. I find it interesting to see a handful of used ones out there, that's a quick turnover, which...

    SRT Viper Vs. Corvette C7 - Seeing both in under 24 hours...

    Nice pics and comments. I have great respect for the vette & its performance. But I've never found it emotional for me to experience & so as much as I've considered it, I've never "wanted" one to buy. The C7, which I've only seen on the internet so far, looks great to me. I don't get the...

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    I owned & tracked a 2011 GT500 Shelby with the SVTPP, I currently own & track a 2014 GT500 Shelby with SVTPP & Perf Pack with electronic Bilsteins & electronic steering, have owned & tracked 3 gens of vipers, a current owner & track hound, and have driven the Gen5. In keeping with the trend of...

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    Of course not, noob bait, this gen5 forum is like a magnet for judgemental posts with no experience or knowledge. Instead of asking how & is it safe, it's like other posts, "that's crazy". This forum should be sponsored by Face Palm International I'm assuming the strip is coming up within...

    Ferrari Boss Left “Speechless” After Seeing The New SRT Viper

    Yea, that's a repost from about a year ago. But never hurts to post in case. Thnx.

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    Quick, someone make a VCA comment so this thread gets locked, geesh, what a mess, I feel like I'm back on the BMW forum. Ralph told me that well over 50% of the budget on the Gen5 was spent on the traction & stability system, and a good part of the rest was included in other federal compliance...
