    Headroom

    Yea, I can't comment on previous coupes, I've never owned coupe amongst my vipers. First coupe I ever sat in & drove was the gen5. The verts have a ton of headroom, since there's no liner, etc., all I know is the gen5, maybe every coupe for all I know, don't fit my noggin. We need a Mopar...

    Headroom

    It is frustrating. I'd have bought two occasions at this point if I didn't have this problem. And when you look at the car it seems like it shouldn't be a problem, I was really surprised when I got in and messed with it, bummer for me.

    Headroom

    Or come up with a headliner that is thinner, either way ... I've wondered if a local upholstery place could redo the headliner to gain some space, just a big gamble for me, and my fat head. Frankly that's why I have a ton of room in a gen 3/4 vert, there is no liner, so you get max headroom...

    Headroom

    Wow, really? That's intersting. I'm 6'4" 195 fit lbs and sat in 2 GTSs and it's too tight, my head just touched the liner and the helmet was a laughable attempt. I wonder if I can find a local TA to try and see.

    Rebate on ge 5 coming this week

    I tell ya, I know we accept paying more to be early adopters and be enjoying things early, but with GTSs marked down $30k and another $10k now possible, that's up to $40k possible discount on a car barely a yr old and new condition, if I bought a GTS at sticker I'd be beyond the whole 'but I got...

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    Wow, I'm beginning to think GM is specifically trying to seduce me. I've never considered a single Chevy product for ownership since I sold my very first car, a'72 Nova, which I loved dearly as a 16 yr old. We can trash talk for fun all we want but I'm getting a little bone going for the z07...

    any news besides this from the ny auto show

    Yea, SRT painted a car another color. That should show GM. Ive never been a vette guy, always respected the performance, but never to own. I cannot believe it but I could definitely go for that charcoal z06, can't wait to see the perf numbers it achieves.

    Yes it is, exactly, and pimp is exactly what the viper is all about. Yep, yep, yepper, meh.

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    Because that would be boring. This gen5 forum should be renamed to "Big Brother: the Gen5 Edition", or "Kardashians of the Gen5: but no Kardashians", or "Housewives of the Gen5", or ... fill in the drama.

    A DEAL I just couldn't turn down.

    Wow, great deal, and awesome car, congrats on both.

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    Yea, I haven't been a fan of Audi much, but the RS5 and the A7 have caught my eye. I'd almost snag one if it enticed my a bit more. Something about the look that's nicely sleek and cool. And no disrespect meant, I thought we were just having some playful ball busting on them.

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    And they were all properly taking their place behind a Camaro Z/28, since it's faster around the track than a Turbo Porsche, lol. As a kid, my dream car was a Porsche, I had a couple posters, although I drove muscle cars once I could drive I dreamed of getting one, I'd go by dealerships, who...

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    Hey, I do. I met up with "nitrous" Pete Misinski a few times in NJ too, he tuned one of my cars, went to his house and he had an engine block on his dining room table, I was like hell yea. Good ole Dr Gene Deputy days, dayum I'm old.

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    In 1989 I ran a Paxton on my stang, did a mass air conversion, no IC, etc., and ran 6lbs boost. Swapped 3.73s in and ran 12.93 @ 105 on the shake down day, from a car with a factor 225hp/300tq, so it was good for about 100hp. No issues at all. In 91 I did a Vortech at 8lbs, stock engine, same...

    V8 Supercharged 6.2 engine coming?

    You certainly need no help in putting a solid recipe together for power, that's a perfect setup. I've bee sliding over powered stangs down the 1/4 mile since '87, I have a shelf of trophies from local events, from before I realized turning is more fun, but no pro by any means. If SRT can...

    V8 Supercharged 6.2 engine coming?

    Yea that'll be a great new hemi but if it doesn't have aftermarket tuning, it'll be limited. As for the GT500, my '14 sounds identical, I have Raven Racings 13-6 kit and track exhaust. 10s on MPSS tires, 305 rears. DR or slicks would make it easy for 10s all day. From a roll it rips your face...

    Hot Tip...Buy the Gen V Collectible while you can still afford to

    Meh, collectables are for lambo, jag, and F-car guys. The viper is a drivers car, a real drivers car. I've never understood the garage queen viper thing, I see ACRs out there with nearly no mis that guys polish or something, such a friggin waste to me. The viper is the playboy bunny turned...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Not to get of the doom & gloom theme, but just thinking ... Is there are chance that the extended shutdown is just to do whatever re-tooling is needed on the line for the "refresh", like for a vert??

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    Feel bad for the workers, top notch quality product but marketing as failed them, plain & simple. If there had been a vert, I'd probably have one now. I can't fit in the gen5 coupe, otherwise a $130K gts for $99k, is a stupid deal to pass up. I too have heard several conversations where people...

    What kind of changes do you expect to see on the 2015 Viper?

    Didn't mean to poke you specifically, it's a generality thing, also didn't mean to suggest you're a troll by any means, I've had a 2,3, and 4 gen but not gen5 .. yet. Just gets a little edgy in this particular forum sometimes. Man, I checked out the alley, haven't been there in a while...

    What kind of changes do you expect to see on the 2015 Viper?

    What's wrong with this site. I think gen5 owners should go into the gen2 forum and post about how rickety and junky the gen2's are. I don't know why this site continues to be plagued by these thread bombs, other sites aren't. I mean whether you're asking about updates on the vert or news...

    Track Pack or Aero?

    The track pack was an awesome deal from the factory. It's a shame they stopped it. That being said, you say both cars are same price then I'd go aero. The aero is worth more in option price so you're getting a better price/deal. Plus the aero is functional and badass looking so it's a two-fer...

    What kind of changes do you expect to see on the 2015 Viper?

    With SRT it's hard to tell these days. Not to sound overly critical but these days they make a huge over hyped deal out of a color, or name of a color, or whatever. Hearingtey have a refresh or announcement in April I cant help but feel like it could be a new color, a new wheel, or whatever...
