Got bad news for ya, Doc. The '08 has two throttle-by-wire throttlebodies pirated from the 4.7. It also has CAN bus. Speed density engine management seems to be gone too, as two mass air flow meters are resident in the intake tubes. Now, to follow the trend of ABS/ESP equipped Chrysler/Dodge throttle-by-wire vehicles, starting with the Crossfire, then the 300/Charger and following with the Durango and Grand Cherokee, I'd say traction control will be a reality. On the up side, it's easily defeated by pulling the fuse for the abs module.
If thats true it just got exponentially easier/cheaper to add a pair of turbos to the car... assuming you can crack the pcm that is.

That's always been the bummer about Dodge. A GM pcm is wide ass open. Buy a little software, plug in your laptop and you can work it like an AEM. Ford's a little tougher but Dodge has been dead against anyone getting in there and tuning. With CAN bus, all the modules share info through a network. Go lurk on the Charger/300 forums and see what a time they're having trying to get more power. You can't even swap gear ratios without EVERY module freaking out.
Now i know there is know such thing as a traction control on a viper. Thanks to all that helped me out on this one. And know thanks to the fucking idots.......................
Brian, I dont have a viper yet but i drove my friends 06 coupe. It is actually pretty easy to light up the tires. with a viper you can just stomp it in first or second and it should just break loose the tires. be careful when you do so cause when i did it i lost control. I even light it up on a 30-40 mile roll. try not to take everyone seriuosly they picked on me alot too. lol
Is the Viper faster than your "600sl" with the V12 and the Twin Turbos?
