    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    I posted above on mods and vert. I'm a 3 time viper owner, 2 new from Dodge. And right after VOI after the drive and demo's I came back and moved $100k in cash into a viper account to use. So I'm about as target a buyer as there is I think. Besides my desire for mod ability and/or vert...

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    Mod packages from Mopar or aftermarket supported by Dodge, aka, unlock PCM. - this alone I'd be 95% to buy Or Vert. - this I'd be 95% to buy Both, I'd order tomorrow.

    Old Men Seem to Own Vipers, Why???

    Funny thread, you knew were going to fire up some ole farts, right? j/k I think it's your area. I do mostly track days but when I go to a club event it's a good mix of ages, probably 1/3 younger, 1/3 mid and then the ole guys - which I hope to be someday. I think different local groups are...

    Gen V Drag Strip Results & C7 Corvette

    Compared to other completely stock C7 Z51 times, which were 11.6-11.7 with 1.7X 60 ft times, looks like the tune gave him a quarter second and about 3-4mph. You know, my gen4 has no issues with burn outs or dynos, I really am thinking at this I'm just gonna sit this out til SRT either gets...

    Mopar / SRT - Pay Attention.

    Other than arguing semantics, what's your point? The point of the thread is simple, prior to gen4, we were modding our cars and tuning with SCTs all we wanted, since 2008, nada. A gen5 can't even change an air filter. SRT needs to address this HUGE limitation. If I move to another car and dump...

    Mopar / SRT - Pay Attention.

    I see your common sense thought there, but the reality of viper history is that prior to the lock down on the gen4 there are tons of perf options. There are Paxton kits, twin turbo kits, roots charger kits, and heads, and cams, and exhaust, oh my. The gen4 was the end of that. Prior to the gen4...

    Mopar / SRT - Pay Attention.

    Even Kia and Scion know this. Price is so not an issue. You can get a great setup SRT under $110k with the new prices, even less with a '13. The high end vette will be right in that range. The difference? The vette you can do anything you want, the viper, change the air filter and get an...

    Game changers

    IMO it's not about a HP number. I don't think vette has ever been about HP numbers, they're about perf numbers. We have C7s now, bone stock, on stock tires with an auto running in the 11.6-11.7s consistently, albeit with only 119ish MPH. That's with 460HP. It's what vette does with its HP...

    One racer's quote... "It's not a real car if you've not afraid of it".

    I wouldn't drive a car I was afraid of, not sure the point. If afraid, you're not going to use what it offers so save the money and get something you're not afraid of & go for it. Unless it's a "hey look at my dangerous car" sort of thing. I'm not afraid of my vipers or my other cars that...

    Game changers

    Salesmen are almost as wrong at predictions as magazines. I agree on the 600 and 700 marks above. And frankly, the vette's don't seem to need giant HP numbers. I've never been a fan of their looks but GM really gets the max perf out of every HP that's in those cars. What would surprise me is...

    New Viper teased?

    Your posts make way to much sense to be posted in the genV forum. I know this thread is about the name of yet another shade of blue, yawn, excuse me, but had to chirp in on your posts and say ... yes and yes. I'm one of them guys. Now, back to what I like to call "Wish it was an ACR Blue"

    2014's Are Out... Any Pics of Billet Silver GenV's Yet ?

    Yea ... that may be my car. We'll see, but wiping the drool off my lip just from that pic. Of course, no more track pack, rasser frasser risser rasser, but I digress.

    Gen-4 Tuning System, Paxton Kit options... time for a head count. POLL INSIDE

    I've never wished I lived in Buffalo before, lol. Thanks, this is great info and I'll throw my vote in there. To be honest this would make me hesitate concerning a gen5, for either upgrading my gen4, or seeing what you come up with for the 5 before taking action. Thank you, you've gotten me a...

    Gen-4 Tuning System, Paxton Kit options... time for a head count. POLL INSIDE

    Dan, thanks for clarifying, that helps. I was starting to think of it like the Ford situation, on my Fords like the GT500 I add some bolt ons and load a tune & get 120rwhp increase and don't need to do anything to pass MD OBD-2 scanning. With the Chrysler cold-war style lock down I understand...

    Gen-4 Tuning System, Paxton Kit options... time for a head count. POLL INSIDE

    Dan, first, thanks for being open to developing solutions like this. My personal hold back on an offering like this is a lack of support in my area. Since Heffner moved to FL, there's not a resource to be found that knows the viper within hours of driving, so if I have any issue I can't handle...

    Realistic timeline?

    I think that's reasonable if it had been at least a good year. The fact that not only do we feel that sales were soft, but SRT (Ralph) has publicly stated sales were down and there is now a production impact. This could impact #s and/or models. They could push the vert out on hopes to push up...

    Hennessey Venon 700R

    Ugh, not a JH post. He has to build fast vipers so he can out run the cops busting his place. Ahh, the good ole days.

    Saying bye and giving an apology

    Congrats on the ZR1, awesome car. Such a shame we're losing a viper owner and SRT a big paying customer. Sorry you had a tough experience. Just another thing to hurt a wonderful car. Can't blame a bad dealer or something, this is the mothership treating a $150k client poorly, I just don't know...

    Anodized carbon edition

    I saw a fatboy low with that "denim" finish, very cool. Not sure on the care of it, I didn't ask, but it looked cool enough that it would be a color choice if I were buying a harley .. but of course that's just the tank & fender for care, no biggee.
