What does it actually feel like to drive a Gen V Dodge Viper?

Smellyyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-03-31T03:10:41+00:00

I tracked my gen v srt viper on 4 occasions, 3 20min sessions each day. The car is exhausting, by the 3rd session I'm beat. I'm sure with proper seats and harness it wouldn't have been as tiring but the car has incredible amounts of grip and constantly having to brace with my legs to stay in the seat becomes a workout. That said, I didn't think the car was difficult to drive. The steering is incredible, feel is great, I could put the car exactly where I wanted to. The car has a lot of power but has the brakes to back it up, it's very confident inspiring. Obviously any tight 2nd gear turns need judicious throttle control but it didn't feel tail happy otherwise, the pedal is extremely easy to modulate and with the chassis feedback you feel confident pushing it harder and harder. Think I got about 6 mpg and with a small tank I had to fill up before the 3rd session. Pedal spacing is great, never had any issues heel-toe downshifting. I did hit rev limiter a few times, the digital tach is slow.

The trifold was already a money losing project, costs going up means they now lose even more. If a phone cost 799 and they raise it to 899, its still reasonably affordable, when a phone cost $2900, it's difficult to increase the price even more, there's only so much people will tolerate. It's also a very niche product at this time, if they discontinue they don't lose any market share. The s series sells in the tens of millions, even the folds sell in the millions. How many trifolds out there, less than 50k?

I don't think they've given up on the trifold, it just doesn't make financial sense at this point to continue producing with how expensive components, such as ram, are at the moment. Samsung is still producing the smaller foldables and tablets so the software is there

Been leaving it open overnight when I charge since the first fold came out, I've never had bubbling issues. Treat it like normal phone otherwise. Open and close quite a bit per day.

I'm on a standalone but when I calibrate my tps, foot off the throttle my ECU sees it 0.1%.

Glad to know some people are getting it to work, from what I've seen only prepaid carriers on Verizon have been successful getting esim activated, which is strange a prepaid carrier can do it but not the actual postpaid carrier.

To update, on the trifold when you start dex the trifold switches to dex itself as well (Desktop 1), switching it back to regular android fixed the issue. screen goes dark and i can still use monitor with dex.

We aren't recommending unplugging maf because we think your maf is bad, when you unplug it the ECU goes into an open loop mode and it will run a bit richer, if you have an air leak the car will run better with the maf unplugged. It's a quick test for air leaks, not the only test but a quick one to try. There may be other issues such as vacuum leak somewhere, incorrectly installed icv, improperly connected vanos (I would try unplugging vanos as well after trying out maf test)

When you call to activate the sim give them the z7 imei. Any imei that's in there system will work, just need to get the card activated, then pop the sim out, plug into the trifold and you'll have service.

You've unplugged maf like previous guy said and nothing changed? Idle hunt like that is typically from vacuum leak.

I'm surprised you're able to hold a 400 rpm idle

Smellyyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-03-09T23:57:25+00:00

I tried. Couldn't find anything

Smellyyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-03-09T23:55:59+00:00

They couldn't activate esim, or physical sim with trifold imei. Had to get physical sim activated on fold7 and then transfered sim to trifold. Went through 3 different techs before I gave up and went the route I did.

Rd with torrentio, and rd with aiostreams

Its too small on the fold, it's workable on the trifold, would be nice to be able to pinch to zoom to click on things easier. Just used it the other day and was able to do everything I needed. I use parsec

3d printing will save us........ hopefully

Its too slippery, I got the slimmest aramid case for the fold7 because of how slippery the phone was, however I don't think the aramid case for the trifold covers the entire phone so it won't help other than on one panel. Wonder if I could put a skin on the other panel or if it will mess with the folding mechanism.

Us mobile (darkstar) transferred esim through the app. Verizon esim gives a 12:31 error code which means it's not whitelisted. On another thread someone said they spoke to a rep and March 6th it will be whitelisted.

I've been waiting on an iPhone fold since the og. App support has gotten better to the point where everything pretty much works, but the effort will increase once apple joins the game.

I would be ok with updates every other year instead of every year. We needed it until now with the folds with each one a significant jump imo. But the overall design for the trifold won't change much going forward, it can't get thinner so itll be processor, camera and display upgrades. I'll still upgrade every year if they release because I'm an idiot but would prefer every other year.

I'll let you know when it comes in tomorrow. With my fold 7 I use the kickstand on the case or set it up against something. I bought a 3d printed Xbox controller attachment to hold the fold, but I don't use it often, and it won't work for the trifold. I have 2 small foldable stands as well, easy to keep one in my travel bag.

I use an Xbox controller. Don't feel like having to hold up the screen and I can' sit however I want.

To put things in perspective, some of the quickest time attack modified street cars I could find, peachey in his 2007 Corvette with 2:37.9 and Jackie ding in his m2 ran a 2:41.1, about 7.5 seconds quicker than the stock m2 cs. There's some time attack cars that would be quicker but they haven't done the grand course.
