    Vivid Racing's SRT Viper Project

    Yea, looks like they are baselining with it apart, probably for testing adn back to back runs with mods. I saw it hit 557hp which I believe is dead-on for stock with 13% drivetrain loss which is what SRT has quoted for previous gens as a good reference, in fact the gen5 could have a little more...

    Jack B -- Front and center...

    Thanks for that detail, interesting. So it always uses 5200, like it's preprogrammed in? It's interesting the differences in LC's. My GT500, you go in before hand and set the launch RPM with the steering wheel dial & dash display & save it, moves in 100 rpm increments & saves your last enrty...

    " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sales"

    Re: " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sale You won't see HiPo pony in the S550 until 2 yrs, so there's quite a wait for that one, and the current 5.8 with the TVS on top we have in our '14 GT500s won't fit in the S550, as an SVT engineer said at a...

    2010 ACR vs GEN V

    Oh I know, I was being cheeky, sorry. LoL

    2010 ACR vs GEN V

    I know MT hit 11.3 with the TA they tested and usually we easily find guys that beat the mag times. Persoanlly I usually land right on the mag #s for whatever reason, but we have some pretty good hot-foots around.

    2010 ACR vs GEN V

    Is there anything better about the gen5 for Pete's sake? Seems like there's always something, now it's slower by design than a gen4 - an ACR no less with full aero weight on it. At we've got nice leather and traction control. LoL OK, I still love it, but geesh, sometimes I wonder if...

    2010 ACR vs GEN V

    "ACR started pulling, came around, and put a car and a half on the 2013 up to 155-160 ish. No one hit the rev limiter and we talked about the run afterwards. He said his shift points were 100-200 rpm below or at redline each time and he didn't hit the limiter." So the ACR pulled a car & a...

    2014 On Order?

    It's ballistic because its made with ballistic nylon fabric. It's actually preferred for track duty and the reason it's the only seat option on the TA model, it tends to be preferred to alcantera inserts, which are also good and not leather, because the ballistic nylon doesn't make you sweat as...

    Where are all of the 2013 G5 owners?

    I think a bunch are still,waiting on their cars to be made. Only somewhat tongue in cheek.

    2014 On Order?

    It has the base ballistic seats in it? Some one was just asking on another thread if any had been made with the base seat option, looks like the answer is yes.

    2014 On Order?

    Oh man, I've been looking myself, can't even believe it, after 15 yrs of vipers that I'm actually wavering a bit on what I'm thinking. I love my gen4 but have been ready to update, now I don't know what I'm thinking, it's starting to seem goofy how bad info is flowing, I'm a big SRT supporter of...

    SO, now that the G5 is out

    If I were getting a GTS then the GTS hood, if an SRT then that one. I don't think I'd mix the hoods, they both look great on the car. My personal opinion? I do prefer the SRT hood if I had to pick one, I think it stands out as more agressive, and creates a connection and separation at the...

    2013 Dodge SRT Viper: A Speed Demon With Too Much Engine

    Well I hear ya, but I'd also say it's part of the image. The viper is the poster child for the mightiest of the mighty and it gets judged like that. The Z06 is like a scapel of a car, it does exceptionally well on a strip or road course for what it has and lays down very impressive numbers in...

    2013 Dodge SRT Viper: A Speed Demon With Too Much Engine

    You'd think but not if you believe the CEO or look at the aftermarket. Ralph said that the engine is pretty much optimized. We've seen gen4s with exhaust and intake mods and they'll climb to 600rwhp, so maybe there's another 30-50hp when you throw caution almost to the wind. Srt went into the...

    Rating NE Ohio Viper Dealers

    Roger that on the Woodhouse experince, the big problem is so many of us live far from a Woddhouse or Tomball. It's a real shame there isn't at least one like them in every state. The last time I went to a dealer in MD was last fall, their "viper techs" couldn't figure out how to reset the TPMS...

    2013 Dodge SRT Viper: A Speed Demon With Too Much Engine

    The problem is, people see 100hp per liter and up and then see 8.4L and think it should make 800-900hp. I hear this all the time in car meet-ups etc. That the engine is poorly designed becasue the output per liter is so low. Right, wrong or indifferent, that's the "common man" perception I...

    check engine light

    Sorry for the problems and good luck with everything. As a 3 time viper owner I can attest that historically a bad or near dead battery can do some weird things that you'd think it wouldn't. I hope it's that simple, still not a great experience, but I hope that works out and it's not that they...

    " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sales"

    Re: " The new Viper is exotic and curvy, but the glory days are gone at least by sale I had 2 Porsche turbos, moved to a viper and have had 3 vipers since, so I did. But I'm a weirdo, so...

    Jack B -- Front and center...

    That's disappointing, sorry you had the bugs to deal with. Hopefully all goes better next time. Are the codes just from playing with pulling the filter and then the car was screwed for the night? Or is there something else going on?

    Viper Purchasing ?'s

    As another mustang guy, welcome to your search for another snake car. I just moved from an '11 GT500 to a '14 and have had 11 mustangs, so you're in good company. I've had gen2, 3, and now a gen4. For gen3 I prefer the 03 for modding and it's internals, otherwise I'd say go '05, it is built in...

    Gen 5 Benefits

    If you keep fiddling with your DIC you'll go blind and won't be able to see any info.

    Big thanks to AbsolutHank. Pics inside

    Almost looks like Ryan's previous viper. Great combo.

    Had to ruin my car today :'(

    It's $70 now in MD. Just got a tick in my GT500 last month by a DB trooper. Err.
