    Anodized carbon edition

    What's the care & feeding like on a matte paint finish? Being a black car owner forever and knowing how many coats of wax and the regular cleaning, etc it takes, seems like a matte would be really tough .. or is there a new trick involved for sealing and caring for it?? Sounds cool, if it can...

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    Yea, it's tough enough here in the states, OCONUSi imagine you'd really be struggling to find trust worthy service and support. That's a tough one

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    For real, I mean really? I don't get why SRT wouldn't be embarrassed by this, but then they sent a car with loose seats and parts flying off to a mag competition. What are we talking about here, a week of a developers time?? I have an IT and systems engineering company, SRT, give me a call and...

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    IMO the brand thing is over done. The FGT is a blue oval Ford and look how exotic it is in perception and value. Look at the GT500, a mustang for $70K for God's sake, people said it'd never sell and was crazy, they sold them with ADMs of $5-10K with no problem, other then obscure dealers, they...

    Please, stop bashing the gen v

    All I think is - the best thing SRT did was the gen5, the car is awesome. The worst thing SRT is pretty much everything else. Don't mean to bash, but not sure how the marketing side can be defended, from current loyalists to new marketing. I haven't felt like there's been a bunch of car...

    C7 issues

    I know right?!? The vipers seat may have not been bolted in, but it had fluids in the engine and diff. LoL.

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    Well this info is wrong because Ralph said all 2013 orders were sold out. Oh yea that was a play on words about the fact that they were all "bought" by dealers. Eh hem. The problem I see is that SRT has done just about everything wrong outside of building the car. The tests, the handling of...

    C7 issues

    Oops, the differential is supposed to have fluid in it? My bad. - said the assembly guy on the GM line. Well, at least it seems to be just a fluid issue .. so far. First run cars, got to expect some issues.

    Epic!!! (sorry if repost)

    Purrfect. I agree on the 5 spokes, although I know some really like them. I did notice a gen5 on ebay with black 5 spokes, and I liked them much better than the polished version. But certainly doesn't compare to this setup - looks amazing.

    Choices

    My strategy right now is to let winter set in while settling for my simple ole gen4. If some, any, like at all, interesting info comes from SRT on the 2014's or anything in the future, then I can thing about that. That aside .. I'm thinking a totally base 2014 in Silver. Then, do black...

    Yes, yes they are.

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    Mark, I wish you weren't such a reliable source of info, your reality checks are depressing me. I hope the gen5 isn't just more of the same gen4 stuff of mucking with the exhaust, throwing on an illegal PCM you CAN'T get thru emissions with, so if you do the mod in a testing state you're...

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    This is a big point, half of the interviews or chats about the gen5 some engineer or Ralph was noting the mod friendly nature of this Viper and how the viper community likes to tinker and mod and the car has to accomodate that. Well ???? Time will tell, but I agree with many of the posts...

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    Oh, I totally agree .. in 1989 my first Paxton install on my 1987 Mustang GT, I put it on over the weekend, no intercooler, only ignition change was plugs, and I did a Frod Racing speed density from MAP sensor swap kit, the car made 330hp, that's a bolt on 105hp on a 225hp engine back in the...

    Not sure I follow, having added and upgraded numerous cars with aftermarket kits, I'm not sure what the problem is you're pointing to. If Mopar is coming with a kit then they wouldn't want to open the computer, they'd work with a vendor, like Paxton or Vortech, assuming we're talking...

    A dyno tuner may not care, will tune the car and load it. But aftermarket kits for FI are held to EPA and CARB and know they have to make them their main product to really sell, they offer "tuner" kits without certs, but the cert'ed kits are the sellers; paxton, vortech, whipple, all those kit...

    I heard the blower rumor back when the dealers sent their folks to the first training, I went by a local dealer and the 2 guys that went said that they were working on a Mopar/Aftermarket blower setup to be a dealer option, I waved it off at the time. Like 9ball says, it's totally doable and in...

    F12 around Laguna Seca

    Disagree there a little bit. I wouldn't own one not because I'm a bench racer focused on mag stats, I hit the track over a dozen times a year in the cars & the bikes, I just don't get spending that kind of cash on something that's slower than plenty of other cars, unless you're just totally in...

    F12 around Laguna Seca

    Randy hot lapped the GT500 almost a full second faster. Let's say no one cares if it beats the viper but you'd think someone with an Italian sounding last name would be wincing a little by running slower than an American muscle car with a solid axle. But it's like comparing a timex to a Rolex...

    H Pile Exhaust

    My 08 gen4 didn't that've an H pipe when I swapped the exhaust. My gen3 had the crossover of course, it was behind the muffs, not an H really, more of a design to length the 'tail pipe' section. I agree also, my gen2 I did a full Belanger setup and it sounded awesome, not just for a viper but...
