    Suspension/Wheel Plan for my Viper... New Member, have questions...

    Be aware of the SRT10 rear, limited shock travel resulting from BOTH Eibachs and Caps. Pothole/Speedbump/Whoop-dee-dos. Rear-only lowering = rake issues at high speed. Trailer-cruise-in ride? OK. Are you asking about 3/4" and 1" wheel spacers?!?!? Several exhaust options, 1 or more...

    I dont think Mr. Gilles' crew is Italian! But the mule we saw at VOI-11 certainly sported an Italian-influence of some elements.....

    New Viper ACR Hardcore Owner

    Fact is, even the RARE 1992 Vipers and some other rare models have not returned MSRP after 10-19 years. Who Knows what will happen after 25-30 years? Not many cars are a good 'investment" over 25 years, better off to buy almost any other financial instument. The only Viper returning...

    Tire decision help please!

    Street? Drags? AutoX? TrackK? Replies can be more meaningful to YOU if you explain how and where you will drive, and how many miles per year. If the decision is BUDGET OUTLAY ALONE: BFG Street/Track/Combo/endurance: PS2 X+Track+Street: Toyos Cost-per-mile matters? PS2

    Need new brake pads!!

    92-2000 has a 'weak' rear caliper.....the best upgrade is Toms Rear Caliper upgrade. After that, adding stainless lines, better rotors, will help that car, a non-ABS Viper. I recommend and use Brakeman 3 all around.... But, yes, you can alter BIAS by adding a grippier rear pad. But why...

    Need new brake pads!!

    Hey Reb. EBC reformulated the "low dust Greens" back in July 2007, and they are no longer low dust. Kevlar, they never were a good track pad anyway. The newer low-dust EBC variant is the Reds, a ceramic pad, can handle 1-2 novice track days OK, but a primary choice for...

    No More Dodge!!!!!!!!!

    Plymouth Prowler became Chrysler Prowler. Dodge Ram became Ram....gave up a LOT of Dodge name recognition and brand loyalty....or did it? Dodge Viper becoming SRT Viper......? {the wonder is Challenger, Charger, Jeep SRT-8 variants?} 2010 Final Edition Dodge Vipers might really be this...

    cold wet tires + 2 degree weather not so good

    2F? 2C? Year of car? Brand of Tires? Age of Tires? The main thing for you to know and understand is the AGE of your 4 contact patches. "The Year Matters" of the production date of your tires, and is stamped on them. 3-year old RunFlat/RunCraps are good for flower-planters. Period...

    VCA-ACR Nurburgring banners!! Just in time for the holidays!

    I clearly saw that the banners can be ordered Without the apple-daddy slogans. Having a banner, I can attest to the HIGH quality. I got in Banner Round One, thanks to Randall and his Oiho Banner Guru....but I missed out on the paternity testing (who is your daddy?) and the rotten apple...

    About to pull the trigger on an 08-09, I have a few questions though.

    The Gen 4 AC is the best Viper AC so far. As stated, the earlier models were not so good. DD issues: If you are a BIG GUY, 225+, you may not find the G4 Viper comfortable as a DD. Tight Quarters. And it is a rolling-car-show, hard to disguise. Constant circle of lookey-loos parked or...
