Got a good deal on a new Gen V SRT with track pack, black interior, black leather wrapped Sabelt seats, red seat belts. Going to do a few things to it before I take it out on the track. I can't wait. Merry Christmas..:D

You did it right; I put my order in last year at this time as an Xmas present to myself but didn't get delivery until June.

Hey guys thank you very much! :cool:


Awesome collection! Got rid of the Vette?

Thank you. No I still have the Z06. It's at my other place. I plan on keeping it,and tracking it until the C7Z06 comes out..



That's sweet! Did you get it from Ringgold Dodge?

Thank's 99RT10.. No I bought the car here..

Thank's Bruce . Power wise they're about the same. The ACR is just a track monster "out of the box". You have the big aero front and back, fully adjustable compression + rebound KW race coilovers,and the sport cup tires.The only other thing I'm doing is upgrading the front brakes with Stoptech 6 piston caliper + 15 inch two piece rotor. This will also be one of the upgrades that I will do to the Gen V.. IMO the Viper's only weakness is the brakes..

...and now I'll NEVER know which one you're bringing to Seca! Sound permitting, of course :(

Congrats, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts when comparing all of 'em at the track.

As one of the lowly members of this club, seeing one person's garage with multiple Vipers just makes my brain explode :) Don't know how you guys do it, but that's an amazing collection. Congrats!

Oh damn Lee, you are full of surprises! I thought you were going to hold out for a TA. I think this was an excellent choice, and very close in lap times to the TA. There was a time when I was ready to cancel my order for the Stryker Red because it was so late. I nearly bought a red Track Pack SRT. My plan was to slap MCS coilovers and the carbon aero package. You also have the option of upgrading to TA sway bars. I believe that config would beat the TA. Here I am already upgrading some else's car, LOL. It's going to be so good bone stock, you won't need to do a thing to it but drive the wheels off. Brake upgrade will be interesting to see, hopefully you'll get a before/after impression and share it with us. Also very curious how it will compare to your ACR on track. Speacking of tracks...

A proposal for you - If you decide to take this to Buttonwillow Dec 21 - 22, I'll leave the Camaro at home and take my Viper as well.

Congrats man

Hey Richie what's up . Ha lol.
To meet sound that's the only reason why I leave my motors bonestock. The Gen V's exhaust is raspier. So my friend is going to fabricate for me a turn pipe for the passenger side..

Hey Todd what's up bro thank's! I was going to get a TA,but I couldn't pass up on this car. It was a smoking deal..
Yeah I plan on getting either the MCS, or these KW Varaint 3's that will be coming out for the Gen Vs. These are like what's on the ACR..

If I decide on the MCS I'm going to hit up Mark over at Wood House Dodge. I would like to lower this car an inch or so +,and then take it to get a good track alignment.

Buttonwillow sounds good,but won't be able to make it. Going on a vacation..:D How was Mexico?

No doubt, hard to believe the bargain prices that can be had on 2013s! This won't last.

Can't beat laying in the sun on the beach drinking Margaritas in November :t15197:

I've heard good things about the damping characteristics of the MCS, should be a big benefit at bumpy tracks like Buttonwillow.

Keep me posted on the exhaust mod for Laguna, if it works I'm in.

I can't believe I missed this thread. Yup, you have the perfect combo of coupes. I'd like to add a Gen 2 GTS someday.

Very nice collection of track toys.

I do find reading the Alley funny. For as anti-gen v as it has been - when someone that is liked like bushido jumps into the V it is praise.

I think the tide is turning - I love my V and can't drive it enough

Getting started to prep the V. Clear bra protection for the track,and the coilovers arrived. I can't wait to install these so I can lower the car first ,and then get a track alignment done . Not to mention testing,and adjusting the shock settings while out on the track.. :dude3: :bth_smiley_formula1
