    Anyone with Car Lift info?

    Ron, a number of threads here on this subject. The obvious is that the garage height must equal the height of the 2 cars plus a few inches for the platform and the lower vehicle clearance. Also check where the garage opener chain drive sits. If it's a 2 car generally not an issue. The not so...

    Gen 5 vs Gen 4 engine

    Dan, thanks! What do you guess would be the hp/trq upside to the Gen V cam and exhaust valves (on a G4 with headers, ported intake and heads)? any other advantages? thanks! Mike

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    Re: Corvette Needs the Viper to be at the Top of its Game... Lot's of passion here, the Gen V is a great car, but to be the king of the strip or road racing now and in the near future takes more than a Gen IV with 40 extra hp, 100 lbs less weight and some suspension tweaks. 700 hp and a semi...

    Mopar Performance PCM 2008 Viper

    Need to find out what the fault code is. Sounds like your viper has gone into "limp" mode. You can use a scan tool or you can do it yourself using your igniton key (look in the owners manual, I think you turn it on-off 3 times and the code will appear on the odometer). I don't think it's your...

    1st track test

    Surprised at all the disapointment? Everyone saw the spec's awhile ago, performance should be slightly better than the Gen IV. New Gen V is 100 lbs lighter and has 40 more hp at the flywheel than a Gen IV., when you start at 3450 lbs and 600 hp that isn't dramatic. The revolutionary changes...

    Leasing Options...For Gen V?!?

    Jog/Kratos, Glad I could help, I've been in the industry for 30 years working for captives finance companies such as Chrysler and Hyundai as well as a couple of major banks. I've always found that the leasing is mot very clear even by bright people, it's really pretty simple and just...

    Need trailer to haul my 2008 ACR

    I've got the same set up and the Race ramps are the best clearance solution. ACR and trailer weigh less than 5K so lot's of choices on tow vehicles. Buy a clean used featherlite and you can sell it down the road for almost what you paid for it. Enclosed are great, but need a strong tow rig and...

    Leasing Options...For Gen V?!?

    Jog, I'm sure that Chrysler will be offering a viper lease on the '13's. Their current finance provider is Ally (formerly GMAC). Their agreement with Ally expires next year, I think in April. They'll either renew w/Ally or sign up with Santandier Bank or Chase. Regardless of who their...

    NARRA 2013 schedule

    NARRA has been a huge disapointment for California. Skip and Viper Days always had 1 or 2 events anually out here. NARRA history; - Buttonwillow CA '09, good turnout but event was booked in the rainy season and Sunday had rain most of the day. - Spring Mountain NV '10, good turnout but...

    Warranty Repair

    Tuttle Click in Irvine has (had?) a viper tech. I haven't been there in a few years, but they did good work. With the issue you have I'd call Dan Cragin from DC Performance (310-597-6295) and get him to take a look at it. I'm certain he can diagonse your problem and you can then get DCH or...

    For those of you with multiple vipers...

    Rarely drive our Gen I, beautiful car but 250 less hp, marginal brakes, stiffer clutch, etc. But when I do I always say I've got to drive this more, probably because it's a vert. If you've got a built G3 coupe and a wife looking for something tamer to cruise around in, get another prowler or a...

    Trip to Beverly Hills

    Drew, you should have reached out to Lance at the SoCal VCA before your trip, lot's of vipers here Best bet is on PCH on the weekends, happen to notice LA traffic? BTW the place you saw that viper is maybe 2.5 mi north on Robertson from DC Performance's old shop

    Tow hook

    brNor, I need to head out tonight. Send a note to ViperX, he may know if that works. If you don't have his email send a note to Lance. I was planning to go to Fontana too, but now I have to go to FL. If you can't find one that works, come up to Dana Point and I'll loan you mine. 5 min to...

    Not sure how that would mount? Here's a similar one to mine that mounts to the support bar

    Tow hook

    Not sure what a "universal fit" looks like? Can you post a picture? You need one that looks like this. There are a couple of different vendors that make similar styles. It needs to mount on the round support bar by your radiator

    Modding an ACR

    Mike, I thought Dan and I were friends? Read the same thing this morning. Hell, he did my heads and intake plus a ton of other stuff. Maybe he lost my number?? Or maybe my check bounced after his roadside assistance? Hope all is well. Mike

    08 ACR Listed For Sale

    Nice viper, too bad you got off to a rough start in this posting. Lot's of sensitivity here on descriptions, better to say ACR clone. Doesn't matter if Prefix did the work, gotta be on the window sticker to be a real one. I'm pretty sure the old SLP cars had that option listed on the window...

    SRT Viper Cup in 2013?

    Tom, great to hear this. The SoCal group would appreciate any influence you might have with NARRA to get an event back here. The core group of 8-10 regular drivers has lot's of alternatives, but a NARRA event with their viper influence, instructors who know vipers, etc., would bring out 20...

    SRT Dealer Locator is up!

    This is the locator listing for SRT dealers. To sell the new SRT viper, dealers have higher financial commitments. Hopefully SRT will enhance the locator to indicate which of these SRT dealers are certified for Viper.

    CARB legal Headers

    I hadn't heard about cops doing roadside inspections. Here in OC it seems like the CHP has done extensive training on cell phone and texting detection.
