    2015 Viper Colors

    Before this thread gets too long, reportedly (per the other site from a renowned dealer) this All Par info is not correct. No further details yet, but thought I'd just FYI here.

    Gen V & Challenger Hellcat

    Not sure that' a mustang lead to follow. 4,200-4,400 lbs is a far cry heavier than my '14 GT500 at 3850 lbs. The mustang may be "heavy" compared to a viper or vette, but not in general. 4400 lbs is like SUV territory for Pete's sake. When you break that kind of weight it just seems like...

    Gen V & Challenger Hellcat

    Guys: In one post its - the new Z07 is going to spank the viper & SRT better do something or it's all over, queue the violins - BUT the Z07 is currently rates at 625HP, what many would describe as prett disappointing compared to the HP kings out there & 625 is less than 640 as I remember from...

    Gen V & Challenger Hellcat

    Lots of people are talking about the Porsche turbo S, over on the Camaro forums, since the Z28 smacked it on a real track. Another example how a car that is good in a straight line, faster by almost 1.5 secs, falls when turns are involved. I wonder if the new Challenger will be the next to beat...

    ^^^^ this. It's all good, but what about the viper vert? (lol)

    Gen V & Challenger Hellcat

    We all know this is apples and oranges. It's not like the GT500 puts the smack down on F & L cars because it makes gobs more HP & TQ. Look at the anemic TQ numbers from a Porsche Turbo S by comparison, yet look at the 10 sec quarter of the Porsche vs the slip sliding GT500. I wouldn't be...

    My new GT3-R inspired GTS

    Always amazes me how I "don't like white" but ever time I see a white viper I have to say, except for vipers. Looks amazing. Would love to see that in person, I bet the blue pops so hard off that white in person .. wow.

    6'3" and wondering about comfort

    I posted the headroom thread. I've had a 2,3, and 4. No issue with headroom in any of them including with a helmet. Gen5 the headroom for the street is a little annoying but not enough to prevent buying it, but a helmet is impossible for me, so that is a buying no go and the reason I've not...

    Should I wait for the 2015 refresh

    IMO if you're doing those mods the. I wouldn't do a TA. You would be changing things on the car that make up the price of the TA. I'd mod a GTS or SRT.

    Thinking 373!!!!

    That 1st gear Is like with sportbikes, they get wrapped around the 0-100 number on performance and so 1st gear goes to 101. Not the most fun for tooling around the street, or even most road courses I ride, always play with the gearing. Shame it's not as easy on the cars as swapping a sprocket...

    Need advice on these.

    Sexy for sure. $12k, can't say I could ever love any wheel enough for that, but those are hot, looking forward to seeing them on your car. We need some customized 5s out there.

    Coupe or Vert - Any track restrictions?

    Gen2 to Gen3 is night and day difference. I loved my gen2 but it is a touchy beast at the limit. I tend to push it, IMO why be at the track if you're not. My gen2 saw a few 360s here and there I can tell you and I'm not a slouch driver as a few who've ridden with me can attest to. Once the...

    Coupe or Vert - Any track restrictions?

    I did the same, Autoform and good to go, scca approved etc. But yea, if you mean actual racing then you're into a cage regardless of vert or coupe. If it's trackdays then just check if your tracks do a broomstick test or not, that's the only other item on a vert, if you're too tall you may need...

    To those who predict skies falling on Viper on account of upcoming Z06

    Certainly true, Peter. It's a wait & see game. I do think paying $120k+ for a vette is silly. Chevy says this one will come out at the old Z06 price points, that's in the $85 range with options, a good price point for top shelf vette IMO. They also say they shot for ZR1 performance, so...

    SRT

    Agree 100%. Maybe now the marketing will get stronger too ... couldn't get weaker.

    Headroom

    Yea, for the street I could live with it fine just so I could have the car. For me though I'd have to track it so it's a helmet issue. But I agree, if tracking isn't in the future then it's not a killer problem.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    If they did a vert, in Silver. I would definitely buy one, no question or hesitation. So, that's one sold already, Ralph. ;-) Build it and we will come. (Could've spelled that with a 'u' as well, lol)

    Headroom

    Haha, yea I'd call it the Z07. Doh! I was thinking how one could perhaps modify the headliner so it's thinner. Problem is when you're talking $110k it's painful to think about compromising or having to solve a figment challenge.

    Headroom

    Went by and tried a TA with my helmet today. Definitely seemed to have more headroom, but I still need about a half inch to be OK. So close. Definitely ok for street but the helmet is touching. I may check on low profile helmets, that may help. Where's the friggin vert ?!? Oh nevermind.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    Well they pretty much did actually. Promoting special treatment for current viper owners, those guys ordered and most placed at the back of the line in production. So you backed SRT by ordering and then were forgotten about. Many cancelled orders due to waiting so long while vipers were...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    We saw the submitted for approval design and spy photos almost 2 years ago now t VOI12. This is one of a few reasons it's so frustrating that we've not seen an announcement yet.

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    Jerry, you're not missing anything, no one knows, at last that's talking. As you can see people's hopes are a little down at the moment, many were hoping for some kind of revitalizing news at NYIAS and it didn't happen, just some eye-candy paint model. So we're still stinging over that. I...

    Headroom

    I found a local TA, I'm going by this week to see how it fits, since some say the headroom is better. I'll throw my helmet in my car for the test. Like you, I could survive with it if I never wore a helmet, but not tracking a play-car means it's not a play-car to me. Crossing my fingers on...
