Dealer will install headers exhaust new shock system raise hp lower seat add cf interior.

No ACR, but, in spite of everything, I'm still enjoying my '13 Track Pack. Wish I had the chance to drive it more, hopefully this weekend, but now there is rain in the forecast.

And my friend with a '16 ACR, and is a track junkie, basically says its the best track car he's ever had - and he had (and sold a GT3). He has a new GT3 RS coming in December.

Pic is in my avatar. '13 model year option only - SRT with SW2s, 2-piece StopTechs, and Corsas - and not much else (although I do have full leather). Lightest Viper, and supposedly the fastest top-speed and in a straight line. Not that I've tested that.....!!

Never run it - weight I believe listed at 3290 - so 3300 lbs.

[Terminator02]

Enjoying my modded to the heavens TA. In addition to the heads and cam I also have the very light and loud titanium custom VE catback with no cats. I think I scared out any possible debris in my engine!

[ViperPete]

wow is that a GTS-R???

Trying to balance getting break-in miles done before winter hits and taking it apart for product development... enjoying either driving, working on, or looking at it all the same.

I put about 230 miles on mine over the weekend and plan on putting another 500-600 on it before putting it in the trailer for Sebring next weekend.

I'm enjoying my ACR, no doubt.
I'm done with the 500 miles break-in period and I need to put some more mileage on that thing so that I can take it to the track.
The North CA chapter of VOA is probably going to have a track day at Laguna Seca end of November and I am hoping to have 1500 miles by that time so that I can go

I'm new to the whole Viper thing so I'm taking it slowly.
No mods whatsoever for me or at least not until the warranty wears out. Plus I don't believe that the ACR needs anything at all since it's got all the power and torque one could ever hope for.
The only thing I got for the car is the Teamtech harness (which is flippin' awesome BTW)

As far as oil engine bearings excessive tire wear rear defroster that may blow out the window paint swirls yellow from the heat can't wait to join the who post here as their dealer hangs up on them so they post here of how butt hurt they are vs picking up the phone and working with the dealer

Another pour soul lost in the VOA chatter.

I commend you sir for stepping up and choosing to modify your car, I really I do. But please do not undermine the issues that we have been discussing. People are not butt hurt, they simply have complaints that need to be taken care of. There are lot of good stories too. I agree that there may be a lot of debate and b/s thrown around that lacks factual matter, but there are some genuine stories on here from good guys that are in an unfortunate situation. You should think twice before you have 100% faith in your dealer because in reality, they have zero authority on warranty issues. They simply do what they are told. How they handle the situation and how communicative they are with you is up to them, and that is what the dealer experience is all about. You push product. You can do it in an honorable and customer-service orientated way, or you can be an asshole and treat customers like shit (for however long that lasts)

But in the end.....once the hammer drops at FCA, you are on your own

Congrats on your car and I cant wait to see pictures of when you receive it!

I was looking for Dodge to do a red/white GTS-R special edition, but the White and Blue did not disappoint at all!

[ClayR]

Did you get cats or no cats on the headers? Be careful of the exit of the exhaust as mine is getting burned and taking some black paint off. Agency Power is suppose to look at getting the tips to stick our farther but it is what it is.

I just don't think coming to the internet looking for support is going to gain traction and as many threads and posts you see here it's of no gain.

IMO this is not the place to close a can of worms as it's impossible - all it does is push people in a bad direction.

Thank you - it's my intention to enjoy this place

Online can gain some serious traction. Some guys who had problems had Andy wheeler and others going to bat for them so I wouldn't be too quick to assume it's all on deaf ears. Social media is powerful too. Usually collective minds can bring the best outcomes for any situation good or bad.

Regarding clips. Check out viper owners of America on Facebook. I have some clips up there. I'm usually typing from an iPad or phone and don't have a good way to upload video to this site. It sounds fantastic though; especially if you like very very loud and an aggressive lope.

The internet is a powerful tool. You are heavily underestimating your position as a consumer if you think otherwise. It is the age of information, the more you have access too, the more powerful your position is in a debate. It is your job to take the info at face-value or take the time to cross-check and confirm. Unfortunately, most people take a lot of things on the internet at face value.

Of course this doesn't mean that you don't step up and physically act as well i.e. work with the dealership.

BTW, your dealer is adding CF interior? What are they charging you? You couldn't opt for that during build? I was under the impression the special editions come fully loaded with CF.

What suspension are you going with? I might be interested in your ACR coil overs!

[BlueAdder]

Ordered that harness.

Have you driven other cars at Seca- curious to see what times you will get from the ACR the only problem I foresee with the ACR is your buddies inability to keep up.

I've driven my Elise there a bunch of times and my Focus ST (once and for one session only before I melted the brakes).
I've never cared to time myself so I really have no clue as how fast or slow (most likely) my times were. I'm planing on buying an AiM SoloDL early next year so I'll know where I stand.

Since I usually go alone to track days, I don't have to worries about my buddies crying because they can't keep up

Edit: If your ACR-E looks anything like your avatar, it's going to be freaking awesome! I love that color combo even though I'm not into white. I guess that the blue stripes make it work for me.

So people having issues should just shut up? Eye roll. Mods should delete non-positive threads? Lol.

I rather enjoy my car, but this is a place for owners to share experiences good and bad. Right now owners are having simple warranty issues and dodge isn't helping. That is a problem and people should know.

Doesn't change positive ownership experiences.

I'm not for deleting any threads but some threads definitely need to be combined and stickied . Having 5 different threads posted on first page saying the exact same thing is not helping in organizing any thoughts or information.

Mods really really need to moderate and combine the threads.

[FLATOUT]

An incredible amount of work was done behind the scenes because of those threads. And yes I can't wait to get the new car

[Policy Limits]

Pete it's just a photo I stole from the internet. Finally got a VIN with a mid December ship date - fingers crossed it's on schedule.

A friend took this photo which is perfection

I thought special editions were being built last? Hope it's a merry Christmas for ya but I'd plan on a happy 4th of July instead

I'll be happy either way, fortunate to get one of the last ones.

Thank you, there is a lot of pearl so as many of these colors do it can look quite different depending on the lighting.

Having dealt with FCA etc let me tell you 100% they and all other factories strongly dislike the internet forums filled with misinformation as would you or I in our business. There is a dealer network that handles issues professionally allow them to do their job. If they can't get it done retain a lawyer the internet is not the place to do battle it is not powerful but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Sadil you and others have an axe to grind go for it - it's a free country.

I value my time and enjoyment way too much to let a potential engine issue get under my skin. If it blows it blows if it doesn't it doesn't could care less tires on a good track weekend cost more.

There is no interior CF in the GTS-R and VE is upgrading the interior shock suspension and engine no intent of selling misc parts - thanks for the offer.

Cf interior is the last touch needed on your car. Wow its going to feel great having the most bad ass super car in the production market today. The 1:28 car, Voodoo II are going to be epic too and I personally think the American flag themed dealer edition will be one of the most epic snakes ever made.

Your stable sounds killer. Any pics?

[XXX BLK]

No ACR but 2017 SRT BLK enjoying the hell out of it but a pain breaking it in

[yellowmz3]

I'm still loving my ACR. Look forward to any opportunity to take it out!!

[BJG32]

Thanks the GTS - R with some added exterior cf should help it pop a bit.

You are smarter than me - for whatever reason that red mist when someone I know is next too me with the ACR - E concerned it's not going to be as much fun but that's a good problem.

Once upon a time I had the coolest viper in St. Louis.... sigh.

Can't wait....and you are nuts letting if you are letting "C" drive it first...lol!
