I'll be there with my main squeeze.

Hi Dan
What are the symptoms with all these gen 4 clutch failures. Car won't go into gear or clutch slips like a worn out Mustang GT.

My Gen 3 Clutch pedal is unbelievably light but works great. Gen 4 clutch very heavy (ie 60's muscle car) but also works great. 

Have tried both Castrol and Motul no difference

Is that your experience. You own gen 2,3 ,4 (and probably 5 when available)

Hi Dan
Any chance transmision failure related to 5th gear changout (realizing that you don't get anywhere near 5th gear at Buttonwillow) Or is it that you're just hard on equipment  ?

Ran my stock 08 ACR at Laguna Seca on Saturday with Speedventures. Went all 4 25 minute sessions without getting black flagged for noise. Had a wonderfull time. Laguna was on my bucket list for sure.

Interestingly the only other Viper there was a gen 4 with modified exhaust. He ran the first 2 sessions OK by short shifting between turns 5 and 6. They nailed him immediately when he got on it just once in the 3rd session.
He was black flagged in the next corner. They have a 3 strike policy so you'll at least get a few laps in no matter what.

I noticed that the only permanent structure at the whole track was that noise building. It's not going away. When I got home I cranked up my stock gen 3. It definitely has more of a rumble at idle than the gen 4. Don't know if it would pass.
