Starting with a stiffer structure that provides 50 percent more torsional rigidity than the previous generation model, the 2016 Dodge Viper chassis benefits from numerous enhancements - many learned through racing efforts with Viper GTS-R, Competition Coupe and ACR-X models.
In addition to the aluminum X-brace under the hood that ties the suspension pickup points to the magnesium cowl super casting, an aluminum impact beam at the front of the car contributes to 50/50 weight distribution, while providing excellent crashworthiness. This also benefits torsional rigidity and stiffness.
Structurally, many reworked chassis components take advantage of new materials able to accommodate reduced thickness and complex shapes without compromising structural rigidity. The result is an overall weight savings of approximately 100 pounds versus the previous generation model.
The Dodge Viper SRT model includes a standard single mode, high-performance suspension, while the GT, GTC and GTS models add a driver-selectable suspension system featuring Bilstein DampTronic Select shock absorbers with street and track settings. The new ACR features a unique track suspension with 10-setting, double-adjustable, Bilstein coil-over racing shocks and unique race alignment delivering up to 3 inches of suspension height adjustment for fine-tuning corner weight.
Dodge Viper SRT, GT, GTC, and GTS models ride on standard Pirelli P Zero, Z-rated tires with outstanding grip, steering feel and cold-weather performance, regardless of road surface, while also broadening the performance envelope on the street or the track. The new ACR rides on the latest race tire compound technology with massive Kumho Ecsta V720 high-performance tires (295/25/19 front, 355/30/19 rear), designed and developed specifically for the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR.
Standard safety technologies include electronic multistage stability control and traction control, which helps to maximize traction performance at virtually any speed and driving environment.
All 2016 Dodge Viper models feature a steering-wheel-mounted switch for the standard launch control, allowing for optimal acceleration from standing starts.
