All you viper owners in here, it’s been a while but these have fairly noisy valve trains correct? Sewing machine till about 3k when the exhaust takes over?

Honestly, I sometimes open up the hood and just listen to the engine idle, and for a 500+ cubic inch engine, it seems very smooth, calm, and quiet to me. I am listening outside usually, so maybe that hides some valve train noise?

I'll have to start mine to remember, just do an oil change and drive it.

I attempted to purchase a Gen V over the last few days but got a scumbag, lowball offer on my trade so **** it. Baddest American car ever made, period.

Paint corrected, PPF and ceramic coating are next, picking it up Friday.

You may want to consider Stone Guards for behind the wheels. I have them. Easy to install and used existing holes.

You can search the VOA Gen5 Section: Viper Owners Association

Yeah they have a slightly noisy valvetrain at idle and its magnified by 10 cylinders. At some point the factory revised the plastic covers over the coil packs and put more sound deadening foam in there to quiet this down a tad. I believe the revised covers will pop on the earlier cars too. Or you could just modify the exhaust lol

You boys are missing out on the neutral gear rattle that we old school guys have to live with. Sounds like rocks within the transmission.
I don't care about it though, as mine is pretty much straight piped.

Wheels are finished and shipping out tomorrow.

Pirreli tires on a 600hp+ rwd car .Show car that's good for 60 roll only ?

 

[72SBC]

Stock tires. Didn’t feel like spending money on a new set of MPSS when these only have 3k miles on them.

 

[Canuck03SVT]

Definitely my favourite Gen of viper. I can see why you got it over the others. Congrats.

 

[Kevins89notch]

Looks absolutely perfect like that. I wouldn't change anything else.

Isn't that the truth. My bolt on G5 Viper would roast the stock PZeros even from a 60 roll. Terrible tire. Need R888rs or SC2s.

That’s exactly what I said about the Pzero’s on my Boss and regret not changing them sooner than I did. They’re terrible and the car was so much more fun (and safe) to drive after getting new tires.

 

[04MystiCobra]

Love those cars and Id kill to get one lol.

 

[My94GT]

Looks great!
