    How much better are the 01-02 ABS brakes

    Three questions for you: 1. Have you driven a car without abs? If yes, how did it work out for you? 2. On your cars with abs how often do you brake past the limit that induces wheel slippage triggering the abs? 3. Are you primarily concerned about dry conditions, or do you plan on driving your...

    Resin drop problem...

    My B/W GTS has several little bubbles on the front of the clamshell hood near the headlights. Ive seen them on others as well. Add to that the slight wavynes of the paint and being able to actually faintly see the fiberglass flakes under the paint on the roof under certain lighting. All normal...

    So which gear or gear shift is your favorite?

    4th is my fav gear for backroad runs. I like being able to leave it there and pull through the turns with all that bottom end torque. Some of the tight backroads i run can be done exclusivly in 3rd as well. Closer to redline is a much more extreme experience and satisfying in a different way...

    Delays in shipping from VPA

    Did they bill your CC yet? Im not sure what the standard is on that, but my bike parts website does not bill you until the backordered item is available and ready to ship. If they had to front the money to the producer before it was available then I would be fine with them charging me to place...

    Delays in shipping from VPA

    Im guessing its not a shipping issue but rather a stock issue VPA keeps a lot of stuff in stock but some of the parts are fulfilled by mopar warehouses just like the dealerships get their stuff. If you place an order for something that is backordered then all you can do is wait. That remineds...

    Most fun car ever?

    Ive shed more than that off my GTS including: windshield wipers & motors, windshield fluid bottle, spare tire & jack, behind seats interior&glovebox(to make room for harnesses, stock seat, rear exhaust, radio/speakers/amp. Does that make me more hardcore? :-)

    2white & Intense. Two good points... Both could work if the enthusiast was able to read the majority of the forums besides the few specific members areas(this is implemented on some forums i have seen including the VCA) In addition, create a specific enthusiast section for them to post...

    ear splitting exhaust noise

    Whatthe, Are the RT's Ceramic or Metal substrate? The metal ones sound like straightpipes, ceramic dampens the sound a bit. Is your system all 3" , or is any component 2.5"?

    Turning rotors. Myths and truths

    When i first went to do a brake job on my GTS several years ago i could not find a place that turned rotors. They all told me the similar things; Back in the day it was more common to machine/turn because rotors were solid and/or thicker and/or more expensive. Also, for most cars rotors can be...

With all that sealed up im gonna need to add a mini radiator thing to cool the diff fluid and a way to pump air to it. Figured...

    Surprised no one ever made 17" 5 spoke replicas in a larger size?

    I have always thought this for the Gen1's. Would love to see those unique 3-spokes in 19". If i had a Gen1 i would contact a CNC wheel maker and work with them on making it happen. More than happy with my Gen2 rolling on HRE's though, and no desire to see those oem 5-spokes in a larger size.

    Old Men Seem to Own Vipers, Why???

    SSG, Why single out Vipers? Cant your perception/mentality be applied to tha majority of cars at or above a corvette? What exactly are you looking for? If you want an "in" to hang out with the younger crowd than I suggest picking up a Supra/Rx7/GTR/BRZ/TurboScion/ Ect...

    Depends. What year is your Viper? What modifications are done to it? What future mods do you have planned?
