Looks like dodge is going to be saying good bye to your precious viper.
I hope to some day be able to drive a super car like that.. :)
Notice there wasn't a lap two......
The Viper's transmission went out.

actually that was lap 3 of a lap 4 session. after 3 laps it layed down a time better then the zr1 despite the zr1 making quite a few laps before getting its best time. obviously, the vipers gear ratios are not meant for the ring.

and.........
2009 is a rumor, but its not set in stone. and the viper line up is for sale, so it could go to another company.
It's not rumor.
The Viper models and name is on the market. Dodge is trying to sell the model, trying to cut costs. This straight out of our reps mouth that was here yesterday.

i said rumor for lack of better words.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PICS OF YOUR DAD'S CAR.
Is he excited?
~Brian
the viper is a joke, why dont they go ahead and spend some of the money they make over charging for that car and re-design it. they've been making that car for like 15years on the same chassis with the same motor, and same tranny. they just make little changes here and there and change a couple body panels and put some new wheels on it. just my opinion of the car, dont get me wrong the car is f*ckn nasty and i would love to own one but when its compared to a vette i would go with 07 Z06 and use all the extra cash on after market parts, EX. twin turbo, haha. vette lover for life.
Z06 with a Procharger = 750 horsepower with no head work.
Wicked.
~Brian
THE NEW VIPERS ARE ALOT NICER THAN THE OLDER ONES. BUT STILL THERE NO WAY I WOULD TRADE A NEWER BONE STOCK Z06 FOR A VIPER EVEN WITH SOME WORK DONE TO IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A VETTE FAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE

RK + Viper with a phone book under the pedle = Curb check.
Funny.
Viper isn't comfortable. I've had the honor of driving/riding in several high performance cars and the Viper is one I didn't fit too well in. Would I own one? Sure. I'd own a Lambo too even though they are uncomfortable as hell.
That's one of the reason you don't see many with a lot of miles on one. Not comfortable over distances.
RK, when your dad gets his, you're a pretty good size guy, see how long you can go without getting stiff in the car.

The Vette sounds pretty mean when the exhaust valve opens.....It's loud when you're on the juice, especially with the top out.

i will definalty give you a report on comfort. we have to pick it up in new jersey so its a 2-3 hour drive home.
the viper stock sounds decent but not the best. the 08 is definatly an improvement over the 03-06 vipers. but any after market exaust really makes the viper scream. the hennessy kit , the 650r, really looks like a good kit and it makes great power.
brian, how much is the procharger kit? i think the paxton kit for the viper is 5k.
b the kit is around that ballpark,
far as the topic at hand, the ZR-1 is not a dedicated track car and a lousy comparison. Period.
excuses.......vette owners will always have one

2-3 hour ride home? Holy cow. You'll have to stop and fill up once.
Just remember to be careful exiting the car after it's been running. The exhaust ports are HOT!!!
Procharger?
It's around $7K for the Corvette. That includes new injectors.
Installed on a C6, it dynos at 650-660 hp. Installed on a Z06, it's closer to 750-775. I would NOT go over 6 psi boost on stock heads, rods or pistons.

no no its not that at all. its the fact that he is talkiing about a car that he has no idea about. for instance, saying the engines were all the same...........

they added more horses for 07 or 08 didnt they?
no such thing as a 07 viper

ok i knew it was one of those years they did it. no 07 viper ???
So was it brand new or pre owned?
Nothing wrong with buying a pre-owned one, it will save a buttload that's for sure.
~Brian
my dad was actually looking at used vipers, for like an 05 or 06. but then i talked him into an 08 and he really liked the upgrades on the 08 and wanted one brand new so we started looking and we found one for 79k wich was a hell of a deal. the cheapest used viper we could find was for 76k and it was a coupe wich my dad didnt want. so we got this bad boy. we put 150 miles on her.

It is the same motor maybe you should know something about the car your gonna talk shit about, they've used the same engine the whole life of the car. One year they would upgrade the valves, then one year a lighter crank...and so on they would just change a thing or two every year to keep up then when they couldnt change anything else they just added a super charger. i dont really think a supercharger is what that car needs, you could barely drive the car safetly before the supercharger and now they just add more power. the vette is definitly a safer and easier car to drive FAST!
no stock viepr has a supercharger ;)
i cant talk to much shit though cuz i dont own either one nor have i driven either one, so i'll give ya props for owning a viper, and i would love to have one just if i had to means i would pick the latter
Most Vipers I've seen with aftermarket goodies are turbos or twin turbos, but those are few and far between here.
The Viper engine has almost remained the same. New for 2008: Better flowing heads, cam-in-cam variable valve timing on the exhaust cam lobes, and dual electronic throttle bodies. The rev limit was able to be increased by 300 rpm due to the improved valve-train stability from both the new camshaft profiles and valve-springs. The engine is virtually the same, other than using some lighter weight components since the original car was built in 1991. The Viper's engine weighs very close to the 700 lb. mark.
There were a couple of other changes. They reworked the exhaust on the 2008 model to try to reduce the heat inside the driving compartment. The reason the interior is hot on pre 2008 models is the engine exhaust crossovers are located under the seats, which causes your arse to fry.
Curb weight on the 2008 is 120lbs heavier than the previous model, but the 2008 model is the fastest Viper built yet other than the track version ACR.

also it has beter gas mileage! :lol:
biggest hing for my dad was power but also the clutch. the clutch is alot softer on this one

The driver makes a huge difference in the handling of these types of cars. The SCCA rents a 30 acre chunk of ashphalt from the sawmill I work at and I have ridden in a 911 GT3, Z06, and a 1997 L79? vette and the L79 was the fastest lap time. The two other drivers are seasoned drivers but the other was a national champ. A guy has a supercharged Viper that competes with Miatas because the track is tight enough that ha can't use the legs of the Viper.
Gallardo is a neat car, but the Z06/Viper/ZR1 is quicker for less money. The Gallardo is a much better built car, but not near as realiable in the engine/transmission. Burn a clutch in a Lambo = You've just dropped ten grand.
