Q: What is that color purple called on the Dodge Viper?
I don’t know if they still make it but I love it.

A: I’ve never heard of a stock purple Viper. If I had to guess I would say it was an aftermarket paint job.
I think what you are looking for is color code FC7 Plum Crazy (High Performance) for Dodge from 1970.
Plymouth also made the Prowler in Prowler Purple Metallic 1997-2002.

Q: Does Anyone Know How Much Insurance Would Be On A Dodge Viper For a new driver and it being the 1st car?
? id like to know the minimal payment and full coverage if you do know also, how much if your an experienced driver?

A: Insurance is very individual because it’s based on your drivers record, sex, age, and a number of other variables such as location, credit rating and type of vehicle being insured. But in your case it’ll be expensive because the Viper isn’t a car that’s very suitable as a 1st car to learn on.

Q: How much power can i get if i add twin turbos to a dodge viper 2008?
I am just talking about the engine not the whole car ( its for a kit car that i may get)

A: Yeah it’s risky here, but you can get up to 1100 hp. That is the outer limit, with 1000 to 1085 being more common, and I think we’re talking engine or flywheel HP, not as dynoed RWHP. I asked some guys who race.

Q: What can I go to get more horespower in my 1994 Dodge Viper?
I want to increase horesepower. I have custom exhaust and K&N cold air system currently.

A: You have to play a balancing act with horse power and how long you want your engine to last. If you have all the money in the world do everything and go to the track. Then replace it all again. If you want it to last i would try a performance cam next.

Q: Is the dodge viper srt10 or the lamborghini gallardo better?
details on performance would be much appreciated.

A: im a dodge fan but i know for a fact that the gallardo is better, the suspension and some of the mechanics on the viper make it hard to drive, although the viper might beat it in a race its just a hard car to drive,

car wise= gallardo

money wise= viper

Q: how much are 4 catalitic converts worth off my dodge viper?
There are a total of 4 converters and they are rather heavy. I heard that there is platinum in there. How much are they worth? Junk or salvage yard to get the most for them????

A: 20 bucks each

Q: cost of repairing my dodge viper, ned some estimates?
hi, i have a 2005 dodge viper black mamba edition…. undercarrige of whole driver side door , with muffler, steering wheel seat is gone… front bumper is cracked, spline, and interior of driver side…plus smaller pieces like lights, and stuff… the passenger, and rear of car is completely intact, and the engine and motor is fine…oh, and the chasis is bent…can anyone give me a rough esimate…btw if u want to know, i hit a pole directly on the driver side.

A: from what you just described about 8-10 grand to get it repaired back and painted ,that must have been a real hard pole,but parts for those cars are expensive,at the very least you,ll get by with it around 10 k probably,id let the insurance deal with this one,good luck.

Q: Raise or lower value of Dodge viper to put Lambo doors and Neon lights under and inside car?
Putting neon lights isnt a big deal because they can come right off but the door is a little bit more difficult than that, Is it going to lower or raise the value of the car if I put the doors and lights in it? The lights will be red just like the car.

A: it would most likely lower the value of it ,what most people want when they buy one is one that’s close to original but with performance add ons not body changes to them,if it was me looking for one id pass if it had lambo doors on it,that’s just more expense when they do tear up,good luck.

Q: What car seems to attract girls more? a dodge viper or a bmw m6?
I am deciding and his might help me make my decision and
Only reason i asked this question is because I like both cars a lot and they are both 500hp cars and are essentially the same thing. The both suit the same purpose with extreme performance and good handling.
I dont consider woman material things either just that my friend has a chevrolet corvette and hes getting it every night

A: Attracting girls has a lot less to do with the car than you. Cars attract different types and you asked about 2 completely different types an they will have their own following. Be warned a Viper in town traffic drives like a log-truck with that big engine and nowhere no go-personal experience. A better alternative might be the upcoming Challenger SRT which will clean the old snakes clock in virtually every category.

Q: Why are the latest versions of the Dodge Viper referred to as ZB?
On Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Viper, the third and forth generation Viper has ZB in the name, i.e. Dodge Viper Fourth generation ZB (2008–present).

What does it stand for? What does it mean?

Thanks in advance

A: Ill continue to search for info, but Ive heard many rumours about this car since I work at a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge car dealership. All i know for now is that the ZB refers to the coupe version and not the convertible

EDIT: I have asked a mechanic that works at the dealership where I work (hes been there for 30 something years) and he said that it was just a trim level as they do not badge it SRT-10 anymore. He suggested it might be the initials of a designer, or someone highly placed in the Dodge hierchy

I hope this helped

Q: Can a stock Dodge Viper beat an old muscle Ford Mustang?
it aint a GT500

A: Oh yeah not even a problem you have a V10 in that viper compared to a V8 in the mustang I would say the viper should smoke the shit out of that mustang.

Q: Who’s to blame for Nick Hogans car accident involving his high horsepower Dodge Viper?
Nick Hogan himself, his parents, the adult Marine soldier passanger who didn’t act as a responsible adult by telling Nick to stop, or all of the above? Whats your answer and why?
Oops. Yes, I meant to say 700+ hp Supra, but he also owns a Dodge Viper.

My fault…relax bro!
..and IF people are responsible for their own actions as a few of you have pointed out, then the Marine is responsible for HIMSELF! Boygreek: I would assume if the passenger felt uneasy with the situation, he wouldv’e removed himself from the car. I have done so myself when my friend raced a 3000GT VR4 for 5 grand. I knew with money involved, sh*t was going to get crazy, so I got out! I don’t like how the media is blaming everything on Hogan. The passenger made his own choice!

A: - His parents for getting a 17 year old a sports car. Nick also wrecked a Viper in the past too. Its not his first wreck in a car he has no business driving.
- Him for being a typical 17 year old and doing something that he is old enough to know is stupid.

- The other guy in the car really has no control. He can ask him to stop but he cant really physically stop him because that would probably also lead to an accident. His only other choice was to get out of the car which would have been the best.

Q: Why does a Dodge Viper give me butterflies in my tummy when I see one?
No other car does this to me!

A: Because it looks like sex in metal and gives ya a jolly every time you see it…like a Chippendale dancer running by in the park.

Q: Two part question regarding Dodge Viper?
I saw a video you Youtube, in which a stock Dodge Viper outran a fighter jet on a 1/4 mile test track (both the Viper and the jet took off from the starting line at the same time). I don’t know a lot about cars but that seems pretty impressive to me.

A new Viper costs approximately $80,000. Are there any stock production cars that are faster than the Viper at around the same (or lower) price range? I’m talking straight off the showroom floor, not something that has been modified with nitrous, etc.

And could a sport motorcycle such as a Hayabusa outrun a Viper? I didn’t think a car could outrun a cycle, but after seeing the Viper outrun a fighter jet, maybe it’s possible?

A: Those test track things are pretty impressive to watch,
but it just takes longer for a fighterjet to get up to speed than it does a viper.

The viper has a v-10 engine, which is not available in most sports cars….
Ones with a v-10 are
The Lamborghini Gallardo
BMW M5 sedan
and
The Volkswagen Phaeton and Volkswagen Touareg (they are turbo diesel)
I may be missing one or two,
but I don’t beleive any of them are less expensive than a Viper.

A stock Hayabusa has a governor that does not permit it to go over 186 MPH. We had a customer who traded a stock viper who insisted that he had gotten over that,
but he was a bit of a BSer….

Q: Is it possible to put a dodge viper engine into a 1988 Pontiac Fiero?

A: No, unless you got some serious time and money. But this is roughly what would be happening:
I was trying to find a cool Viper swap for a summer/winter project. With the fiero being a mid engine car, and Viper originally being a front engine, RWD car, the problem would be massive. For this to work, you would need to first, get a Viper engine, tranny, rear axle, differential, and a lot more money, (this is because mid engine cars have different engine/transmission setups than other cars). After you’ve accumulated these things, you would need to take the fiero off the chassis, and get ready for some big time overhauling. You would need to modify the front of the fiero chassis, to hold the much, much larger viper engine and goodies, such as the radiator, intakes… This is probably impossible, but I’ll continue anyways! You would have to custom fabricate the chassis to hold the massive Viper engine, and keep it strong enough to support all the horsepower and torque. You would then need to use your imagination, and modify the chassis to accomodate the transmission running through the middle of the car, and not have it interfere with your stock interior. Then you could take the viper rear axle, and find some way to attach it to the fiero chassis, while strengthening it even more. I’m not sure how that would even work, or how you’d have it done. But I do know, you couldn’t place the viper engine in the mid engine compartment, it just wouldn’t fit. You’d be better off building a custom tube frame, and flopping that gigantic engine into that.
I’ve left out about fifty pages of information that would typically be used in a project like this, so I think the message is clear, it COULD be done, but for the price, time, and headaches involved, you could go by a Viper for a daily driver, and another for the weekends.
