    Tyres

    Neil, while that '09 ACR is new to you, tires could be 4 or 5 years old plus a number of heat cycles. Those pilot cups are good when new but they definately don't like cold weather. You can stay stock size wheels try the new Michelin Pilot Super sports, not as good as a track tire but good all...

    New member's/non-owner's/prospective buyer's take on the Gen V

    Bruce, for what your looking for the new Gen V will fit the bill. Exclusive, fast and the interior is much improved. To your comments the "viper wants to kill you", you have to respect the amount of torque, if you don't the rear end will come around. Drivers with 300 hp experience who don't...

    MCS new product poll

    Mark, running Moton's so not looking at a change. I think there is a market there for the enthusiast that wants some better handling and/or a lower ride height Today the lower cost route is spring caps or KW2's. The KW's provide a decent ride/handling improvement but their not set up to...

    Gen 4 Stock Headers Worth

    Your factory headers only fit the Gen IV's. Gen III guys buy the cat back exhaust (Gen IV) as it is a direct fit and eliminates the crossover pipes. I'd keep them, never know if you want to go back to sell and/or sell your viper. Good luck, Mike

    Removing rear bumper Dodge emblem...

    Indy, like others have said, the logos are stick on and the bumper is already painted. Before you take them off, take a look at the pricing for new ones if you change your mind, depending on color they can be pricey. The letters are individual and if you buy a new set then are placed on...

    Gen III oiling issues

    Swexlin, until Dan produced the modified G4 version, you had to buy the comp coupe pan if you wanted to upgrade your G3. Dan can explain the difference (and his upgrades) between the two pans, his pan is better than the comp coupe pan.

    Vipers at COTA.

    Treesnake, sorry to hear of your mechancial issues. I'm hoping that you didn't bang up your viper or get hurt! Looked at the Mike Skeen video, Track and facility looked real nice, but surprised how much 2nd gear is needed and maybe 10 seconds plus per lap in 4th. Gotta believe you can go...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Jack, at last summers event, with the 92 db rule (that requires you to lift in straight between 5 and 6, or get tossed) The Laguna Seca did 1:34.1 (headers, exhaust, hoosiers) The '10 Aero coupe did 1:36.5 (stop techs, hoosiers, stock motor and suspension) With good weather like last year...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    What's you definition on "no wheres near"? I'll be there with a number of SoCal members 6/28-30 at a rare day at LS. They'll lift the sound limit for an HPDE event from 92 db to 105 db, like they allow the manufactures and magazines. Come out and see what those old Gen IV's can do in the...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Viper Tony, real good post, Ralph got caught off guard by the results which is suprising as the spec's on the cars are a dead heat and like it or not you have to give the tire and brake advantage to the vette. I'm not a fan of the arrogant Randy Probst but he's a good driver and I don't beleive...

    A Day At Road Atlanta

    Mike, Best wishes at COTA and looking forward to seeing the video. Tell your video guy we're all impressed at a one man show! Viewed and scanned a number of the other ones you have on you-tube, all great work. When you get out here next fall bring him along, I could use some tutorial help...

    New Viper owner

    red06, congrats on your new viper! "Special vehicles" could be an auto show car, or a SRT Experience-Skip Barber car. Since you have a dealer friend that can run the vin in the Chrysler system, check to see where it was shipped to and who did the dealer prep. If it was prepped in MI probably...

    Fair value of my car?

    JMT, I had a red/silver '06 that ended up near you. does your viper have an '08 hood?? If so send me a pm, lot's of extras are on it besides the exhaust and rear gears. Mike

    Anaconda green

    Pirate, interesting, pretty costly to do that, a good paint job is expensive and that interior is hard to find (and pricey). If it's really not a factory built '08, either somone with lot's of $$$ did the conversion, or it had damage that may not have hit carfax/autocheck ( I googled the vin...

    The Official Gen IV Swing-Arm and pan group buy list

    Dan just read your post. That's BS that they chrysler upped the stock pan price from $400-$1200. I remember looking on your site a couple of months ago and seeing the current price, you sold me one for about $800 less, now I see why. To others thinking about this upgrade, you'll need one if...

    What you guys think about this offer?

    Noticed that all the badging has been removed and the sidepipes have been painted body color. Could be owner preference or evidence of repaint? Looks like that viper spent a number of years in the Phoenix AZ area. Call Eddie Martin the viper tech at Bill Luke Dodge in PHX. He's one of the...
