    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    As I recall, the intention was to have the SRT satisfy the traditional Viper buyer and the GTS to capture new buyers and those traditional buyers that were looking for a bit more comfort. All the initial marketing money was to go into racing because the race fan for ALMS (at that time) fit the...

    AutoGuide on HP Situation Viper & Challenger Hellcat

    FWIS, Team Viper had to spend a major part of their engine budget getting the V10 back into production and meeting the emission standards. The mods to increase power were very modest. There's more to be had. All it takes is money. :headbang: GM has also said that the Vett is not into...

    Any pictures of a Gen 4 sitting next to a Gen 5?

    According to an interview on exterior styling somewhere, the mirrors are the same. Team Viper wanted to redesign the mirrrors but the $1 million it would cost wased used elsewhere. In the same vein, Team Viper wanted a grill but over heating issues caused a quick, cut it out, solution. For a...

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    One point. In several interviews Ralph has clearly stated he needed an AT. Need is his word, not mine. He never said, instead of a manual. :2tu: He always says that Viper is basically a two line car, the SRT closer to the original basic car concept, and the GTS a move to a new buyer. He also...

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    My understanding is that the modern ATs that are "available" to team Viper that would bolt on in the present location of the manual won't fit. To maintain the AT in the present location of the manual would call for a redesign of the chassis. I don't know if such a redesign can be accomplished...

    Told ya...

    FWIS (from where I stand) the Gen V is a lot of style, fashion, and quality upgrade without appreciable upgrade in performance compared to previous Viper generations. I believe Tean Viper did all they could with the budget/time. I also believe they ran into some start up costs they had not...

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

    Oerlikon Graziano has an interesting product for the auto trans application. Moving it to the rear would give the opportunity to open up the foot well for the driver and reposition the driver slightly. That would answer two of my items. As I recall, Chrysler has licensing agreements with ZF and...

    An im-modist suggestion

    For the 2014 racing season in the "united series" - aka ALMS - Ferrari and Viper should have a joint corral at the events. :headbang::2tu:

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    Several places, several SRT people, including Ralph, have said ALL THE MARKETING BUDGET WAS SPENT ON RACING, specifically the ALM series :headbang:

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    As I recall, Ralph has said on several occasions, somewhere about 1500 a year is the breakeven point. But that was with the workforce in place. Perhaps the reduction in workforce has brought that number down into the high hundreds.:dunno:

    The race car is definitely the ideal visual model for the performance street model whatever it is called. :2tu:

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    Every customer should be treated with respect!!! Regardless of $s spent. A customer shouldn't have to buy respect. Respect doesn't cost $s, it does require empathy on the part of the dealer organization. I am tired of ignorance and arrogance on the part of the dealer organization. I am also...

    Corsa Exhaust Installed

    I'm not sure what the Viper has for insulation BUT there are several products based on a NASA development called aerogel that are very effective, don't weigh a hill of beans and are very easy to use as a wrap. Google under aerogel and look at auto products:2tu:
