Viper Trivia

[ViperJeff]

OK so bright silver metallic in place of steel Gray and that should be in front of race yellow. I think?

You'll have to tell me sometime where you deciphered this

Hehehehehehehe a lady never reveals all of her secrets.

 

[ViperJeff]

Outstanding......

I thought I would get a few more players on that one

 

[MoparMap]

I was thinking Red and Silver, then after reading Broom's post black and yellow made sense. Not sure I would have come up with blue, and I also don't know the official names that well.

 

[ViperJeff]

What year was the Viper the Indy Pace car?

 

[Sam Goldfarb]

What year was the Viper the Indy Pace car?

May 26, 1991 Driven by Carrol Shelby & May 26,1996 Driven by Bob Lutz, Don Bailey drove all the caution laps for both races and many others over the years from about 1980-2001

 

[MoparMap]

Fun fact, the pace car was supposed to be a Dodge Stealth one year, but the Stealth was deemed too "foreign" due to its Mitsubishi underpinnings, so they rushed to put a Viper together to replace it for the pace car.

 

[ViperJeff]

Ding.... Ding.....

 

[Dan Cragin]

In 1994 they changed the placement of the battery for the RT/10. Where was it originaly and where did it end up?

 

[ViperJeff]

Great question

 

[Sam Goldfarb]

In 1994 they changed the placement of the battery for the RT/10. Where was it originally and where did it end up?

Originally in the rear center through the trunk. Moved to behind left rear wheel, requiring tire to be removed for access.

 

[ViperJeff]

A hard one.....

Who won the 1998 One Lap of America and what was he driving?

Yes we know it was a Viper, but which one (Year/Model) and don't forget the name of the Driver

1996 Viper GTS Drivers were: Ronald Adee and Robert Renc

 

[ViperJeff]

You are correct sir

Can you tell me what was a first related to Ronald Adee?

 

[Sam Goldfarb]

You are correct sir

Can you tell me what was a first related to Ronald Adee?

He was the first to win the One Lap of America in a Viper 1998 and a Corvette 2003?

 

[ViperJeff]

I'm away from my documentation, but I believe I read he is the first non professional driver to win

 

[ViperJeff]

Ran across some tech notes from 1995, so this should be interesting.

The thermostat on the Viper RT/10 engine?

A. Opens at 125F
B. Is located inside the radiator.
C. Has coolent flowing through it at all times.
D. Is made of magnesium.

Good Luck!

Actually it was changed in MY 1993.

 

[ViperJeff]

C..........

Correct........

 

[ViperJeff]

Also from 1995 tech notes.

A unique electronic feature - 1-4 skip shift solenoid - improves fuel economy by?

Not making this one multi guess

Good Luck!

 

[broomrider]

My guess is from about 9 mpg to around 12mpg

By forcing shifts from 1st gear to 4th gear, under light acceleration, it reduces RPM and improves MPG. It does it by blocking the shifter from 2nd and 3rd. There are kits available to eliminate this feature. Basically a 2.2 K ohm resistor placed across the two wires on the CAGS solenoid allows shifting to any gear at any speed. It will still display the skip shift light in the dash. There are eliminator kits available with complete plug and play harnesses. Beware the really cheap kits, you will get a 10 cent resistor and a couple pages of instructions, telling you to stuff the loose ends of the resistors into the plug and tape it up with electrical tape. The better kits are typically $12-$15 for the right ones on ebay, watch year application also, plugs are different!

just the expected improvement, not the total

Good to know, however.... Not a correct answer

Thought you were looking for how it worked, not how much it saved, another vague question!

I'm sure with the multiple guess it would have made more sense, however, you provided additional information that adds to the purpose of the Trivia project. Thank You



A unique electronic feature - 1-4 skip shift solenoid - improves fuel economy by?

A. 1-1/2 miles per gallon
B. 1/2 mile per gallon
C. 5 miles per gallon
D. Not at all

 

[broomrider]

I am going to guess C.

OK, I understood the purpose and it's why I often give lengthy answers.

Unless you live in LA, NYC or drive only in parades the mileage savings would be minimal so I would guess A.

The concept was first used in the late 80's on Corvettes. It's also used on almost every T56 or TR6060 transmission produced.

 

[ViperJeff]

The answer is A

 

[steve e]

A if your lucky, most of the time you just bog down the motor and manifold vacuum drops and you use more fuel, first thing I got rid of after the cat converters.
