Ha Ha. Thanks.
Yes she does!
It's a fun ride for sure. Road car, not for the weak of heart
Thank you
Thanks Brad
Thanks
Nope
Yes it does
Do it!
They are not going to be making any more of them. With only 2427 ever made, better find one soon!
Thanks
As soon as you drive, you don't even know it has a cam. Only at idle.
Sick!
I have always liked them as well.
Ha Ha. Thanks man
Sounds great!
sounds sooo good! I need to cam mine (although every time I exchange emails with Aaron at nth we somehow end up discussing turbos LOL)
What exhaust set up do you have on it? I have VE's titanium cat back and hi-flows at the moment but I want to get some longtubes soon

I'm curious where this Viper sits on your personally owned high performance vehicles list as far as a favorite. It would probably be at THE top of mine. Not as a daily driver, of course, but one that bumps my adrenaline to the max.
Back in 1999, I got to drive a Busch car in Florida and I still remember the experience, the sound, the vibrations that pulsated through my body and head....yeah, that is probably how I'd describe owning a Viper like yours. How could you ever forget the driving experience.

It is a different experience for sure Bob. I didn't realize that it was as much of a road car that it is. It's like driving a giant go cart on steroids. The handling is superb and the brakes are fantastic as well. While it's no where near as fast as my last Mustang was, it is very fun to drive.
The Mustang was a thrill at WOT feeling 21+ psi of boost and accelerating like a rocket, but that was only .0001% of the time you drove the car. The other 99.999% of the time it was driving a stock automatic Mustang. This is fun to drive at any speed and you are still having to shift gears and be part of the car.
It's sad to see where this world is going with EV's and automatic and self driving cars, when driving is an experience that will be lost for future generations. While the EV's are fast, like the Mustang, they don't have the same driving experience.
I'm sure I am not the only one to relate to this.
Being a Ford guy most my life, I have to give Dodge my hats off to building a Big Block, All Aluminum V-10, 6 Speed Manual gearbox, All Carbon Fiber road car.
What a beast…sounds really badass, Kevin! And it looks fantastic!
Thanks Jeff.
Kevin, when you said "my hats off to building a Big Block, All Aluminum V-10, 6 Speed Manual gearbox, All Carbon Fiber road car", you said a mouthful. As the auto industry goes in an entirely different direction, master pieces like the Viper really need to be appreciated.
The Gen 5s are truly a gem and when they were out, they had the largest displacement engine of any passenger car since WW2, the largest single piece of carbon fiber in an OEM car (the hood/clamshell), the largest tire footprint of any production car (larger than the Veyron even), and the ACR had more lap records than any other production car. Truly underrated but now deserving of the $250k for a nice Gen 5 ACR.
I thought those only came in a 345...nice! That will be by next set. I just put on the Pirelli Corsa P Zero's on mine. Love emRear Tire
