Porsche GT3 Radical SR3 AlfaRomeo 4C
Test and tune at M1Concourse I thoroughly enjoy driving this engaging 4C on these short technical tracks...that wonderful Blow off valve is the factory set up heard simply thru an open element filter I run as a track set up.

Radical SR3 at M1 Concourse
Переглядів 3787 років тому
My garage mate and friend Dave Kunselmam gave me a chance to drive his (new to him) SR3 around the club track during a routine test and tune... 220hp @10,500RPM was never so much fun! I went about 2 seconds faster than I did in my ACR E recently. So this lap may be the new track record...for now
Dodge Viper ACR "learning the new Putnam Park Raceway
Переглядів 4,2 тис.7 років тому
What a pleasure it was to run with the Ten Tenths crew at the freshly (last year) paved Putnam Park Raceway. The locals say it has never been faster. All I know is that this rhythmical track may only be 1.78 miles but it is down right fun especially when your running with an excellent group of drivers

Project Vanessa, custom 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
Переглядів 20 тис.8 років тому
This 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is my tester but also a design office project. For starters I love this efficient multi purpose machine. It drives like it should cost 6 figures and will shame many sports cars on my favorite off ramps. All the while being the most functional thing you can park in any garage. We sweat the details on this all new design with body work that never stops blending into it...

Working hard on a Labor Day weekend keeping up with Luke! He was on old DH slicks and I was on fresh Kumho's. He also had a passenger! This man is not a pro but he is fast, safe and a pleasure to track with
Dodge Viper ACR PITTRACE long 1:49.15

Enjoyed the new "Long" track addition to PITTRACE. It was a good Labor Day weekend done at the track with a few of my Viper friends and an always interesting assortment of sports cars at the CHiN motorsports track days. As for this lap it was nearly traffic free. I was held up only a tenth of a second at the beginning of this flying lap. On the Factory Kumho's I am happy with 1:49.15. However m...
Viper ACR at Pitt Race
Переглядів 2,2 тис.8 років тому
First time at the completed Pittsburgh International Raceway long track. The combined track has a zone inducing rhythm, great usable curbing and some entertaining elevation changes. One of the challenges is the difference in surface quality of the new old portions of the track...it can make set ups a challenge. Either way the top notch facility and the flow of this track make it one of my new f...

Great to finally share the track with other ACRs. We ran some respectable 1:33's in traffic. A common comment among the new owners is how easy it is to drive and how quickly man & machine seem to become one! Good stuff

Been going to this old school roller coaster of a track for years now. First time I take Voodoo there. This track has a hypnotic rhythm that makes you want to find and ride the edge. I don't surf but it must be the same feeling a pro surfer gets when they catch the perfect tube! Lap after lap the ACR feels simply planted. It never slid or did anything weird all day. Just locked on rails and lov...

Viper ACR At VIR

Great track day with the very organized and laid back Audi Club of North America - PCC. Last track day of the year and it was a blast. VIR ranks on the very top of my favorite tracks. Too much traffic to get any representative lap times but this machine is clearly professional grade. It is so capable that I am having to unlearn old habits and re-imagine what I believe is possible. This level of...
Viper ACR Voodoo At NCM
Переглядів 2,1 тис.9 років тому
First time at NCM for me. Love this track...it is the perfect place to explore such potent machines. Special thanks to Luke McGrew for doing some lead follow for the first session. I met him in MidOhio but have never shared the track with him. I have also enjoyed his videos (check out his channel). In fact his in car is what helped me learn NCM. He has been flying the flag high for the Viper fa...

2013 Viper GTS on Gingerman's Long track
TWO HUNDRED cubic feet??? This version??? Google says 140.5 cu.ft. and I didn't believe the number (converted to metric) until I saw the videos. I grew up with a Renault Espace from teh 1980s so 3000 liters to me is a lot and that was after removing 5 folding captains chairs, a huge pain. To get nearly 4,000 liters with all 5 extra seats on board, that's epic, even if the thing is 3 feet longer :)
I notice it says "'13" Viper in the dash cam, why is that?
Howcome no more videos? You give up on cars?
Did this car have a stock motor?
Storm was modified. Always loved this vid though. Love the effortless revs and speed. Nothing like a Viper.
are the wheels 22x9 or 9.5?
Nice lap, I run this track all the time with 3 Balls Racing, have turned in the 124's in my 93 Camaro.
love it!!!
Jeez, hope the guy at 5 minutes got black flagged, jumping into the blend line is not good
Just purchased wheels for my touring L, I’m starting a series on UA-cam and will be modifying everything I can. Not many have done this. Lol. I’m going as far as coil overs so pray for me!!
Wow. 1:26 at Mosport!!!!
Nice track but not many places to properly stretch a really quick cars legs. Could be quite frustrating in something really fast
I was with him off camera, only for parade laps tho.
What is the tire size? R22 265/35 ? Or 265/40 ?
265/40/r22
U did us wrong Ralph u took it away best car ever is gone forever.
Best American car ever ! My all time favorite God bless
WTF with that guy cutting across into the merge lane at turn 1? Kick his ass off the course.
Pretty crazy we're turning the same lap times in go karts!
The 22s look awesome!
Here is the view from the Porsche. ua-cam.com/video/B_nTqaTv1pg/v-deo.html
The hood of the Viper trembles and buckles a bit, sir. There is some element of wind turbulence building onto the front part of the Viper especially on the hood... wind-air wall resistence slows down the Viper a bit.
Is this lowered? If it is what did you use?
Ralph why aren't you uploading more videos?
What is the tire size that you used?
Haha i know
Hi what tire size are you testing with
If it was real racing and not track days, that heavy toad dont have chance...
Sir, this man from Eastern Europe has designed cool rear diffusers for the Gen 2 Viper. I happen to stumble upon his video when browsing. He is a cool guy, sir. ua-cam.com/video/V3NuCQG-raE/v-deo.html
Sir, if you'd design the roof or ceiling of the Viper with dual left-right humps and an air vent that has slightly jotted winglets or airflow stabilizers, and making the gullwing rear air spoiler less gaudy and less intrusive, would all of these increase the aerodynamic stability of the Viper therefore making downforce more manageable? Because the ACR Voodoo Extreme only makes a top speed of just 177 miles per hour because of the immense downforce of which the gullwing rear air spoiler produces.
The Viper will always be a halo car, an icon. It is a reminder of the 1960s Shelby Cobra design still regarded as relevant to today's standards. The Toyota Supra also adopted the Shelby Cobra design and even went to lengths as to have a modified "gullwing" rear air spoiler to automatically self-adjust to various conditions. What I am trying to point out is that sports cars way back in the 1960s and 1970s even 1980s are still considered so futuristic that the young millennial generation of today are tempted to buy them, to dream of driving them. It is about consistency in personal held beliefs and personal held values that stand out the test of time. Car Throttle Channel on UA-cam shows a list of legacy concept sports cars that even kids nowadays drool at just by seeing them before their very eyes. Bottomline, the Viper shall always be remembered for its uniques, its slight upgrades yet not betraying its true signature design, and its unique driver's handling experience. Car Throttle Channel doesn't add the Viper to its list because the Viper was not a concept car. But there were elements of those Viper cues adopted by those legacy concept cars anyway. Do not despair, sir. ua-cam.com/video/XhGNpokf41U/v-deo.html
I guess... the main ingredient other than for the Viper to have a high torque engine is to have an ultra high tech active suspension system as well. Suspension system is vital in harnessing the power of the Viper's high torque engine, sir.
Sir, please check out the mods on this old Viper. This Canadian man kept the stock exterior design but redesigned the internals of his Viper by modifying the engine and the suspension system to match the engine's raw power. The mods cranked the power of his old Viper to 1400 WHP... ua-cam.com/video/6eISgYUBzss/v-deo.html
independent synchronized active suspension system is the key to optmize the Viper's incredible torque thus energy. Even though the 4 wheels are "independent" they actually sense the road and sense each other and assist in drive handling. Sort of like synergy (you have components contributing to each other for the stability of each other, like in a music symphony orchaestra). "Independent" in a sense that they compensate each other like a symbiosis. Subsystems within a system. Yep, "independent" yet working together in a symbiosis. Smart dampening-smart cornering compensation effect. Like the high tech smart headlamps of the Mercedez E-Class which is a matrix of LED lights (array of LED lights working in conjunction), sir.
I have a 2018 Pacifica S velvet red I Love my Van I would like to add 20” rims painted velvet red Is it possible?
Ralph is a Great Guy & Very Humble, Glad he's on OUR Team! :)
When are you gonna build one with a Ripp Supercharger? Everything else is perfect!
Looks good.. I just got the 2018 and the sound system is a major down grade from my Aspen. The quality just isn't there. The uconnect is kewl with the apps concert with cell GPS apps. But overall I'm struggling to get to the higher end mods. I didn't feel it was worth the few extra grands for a audio upgrade. I may have got screwed by the dealer but I'm trying to fix before my friends hear the low quality sound. Why because other then that I'm happy with my choice. Still searching high and low for a simple option without putting bulky speaker boxes in the back. Its my wife's car and I just want to make a deeper low and higher highs. Can you do a video on this?
What is the tire numbers/sizes?
Nice looking van man
Sorry LX model auto correct got me
What model is yours? I just got an LA model myself where can I get a front bumper like yours?
Nice
Stock Pacifica Black wheels look better. Your wheels ,my opinion dont look right.
Acuravigor47 they actually look good
1:37 interesting spot to change gear :o I guess if you run out of revs you run out but I've gotta think with the downhill and turning it was "perfect shift or ass-out"? Haha nice driving regardless. I love how your car's nose changes direction so readily when you let off the gas.
Some Very Bad Ass Care. Those Vipers was Smoking every one. Thanks Guys.
Dam what a Car. Looks like a Nice Track.
I have one And I am looking for ideas to set mine apart from the others on the road. I love the wheel on yours. Looks Great.
Hey Ralph, just wanted to give you a Big thank you for everything you’ve done done for SRT🙏..today I was fortunate enough to find, & buy a low miles (10k) 2015 Challenger HC 6spd Manual. The Car is incredible in every way. I loved owning my 2010 Challenger SRT8 for the past almost 7yrs, & I know I will enjoy my HellCat as well. Agin, from myself, & All SRT Owners, & fans Thank You
Did the car you overtook have slicks?
Ralph, just picked up a 17 Limited, 1st mod is adding some 22 wheels, but that fender gap.. ugh! This thing desperately needs a 1.5' drop! I understand that some of the gear for the Pacifica was sourced from the 200, any chance that front or rear struts are? There is nothing in the way of adjustable coilovers available for the Pacifica but some are for the 200... am hoping for a (non engineer sanctioned, I understand) retrofit! Any feedback you have is greatly appreciated!
It appears that understeer on the 4c is pretty severe. I see you are trying different approaches with throttle modulation and entry line. Any luck after looking at your telemetry?
Great driving. Love to see the 4c driven at the limit.
