    Wife passes on 2013 Viper GTS

    Sounds like bribery is definitely in order. Tell her you'll put twin turbos on her new Viper so that it will be faster than your R8.

    Who is interested in a Gen 2 adjustable coilover set for less than 1400

    I get it. Didn't realize the thrust was cost. Looks opportunistic for the occasional track guy. Well done. Hey, best of luck. The product looks great in the pics.

    Who is interested in a Gen 2 adjustable coilover set for less than 1400

    I've run the Koni on my 98 ACR, the dynamic on my 01 ACR, Penske on my 96 GTS race car, and moton on my 03 comp coupe. They all do the same job just fine. I have no less than 15 different sets of spring pairs in the garage which were experimented with along with different shock settings and...

    Gen V Price???

    Not more than a minute ago the Fox business channel on TV reported the new Viper to be priced at $100K. Also claims it is the 5th fastest production car in 2013 at 205 mph top speed. Veyron is fastest at 268 mph.

    What to look for in a used 99-02 GTS/ACR?

    Perspective from old-time washed up Viper racer... Owned two different gen II ACRs. Recommend you speak to previous owner(s) before making purchase. Understand past history of the car. Also recommend you find a CA VCA member to do an inspection if you don't want to do it yourself...

    Corner weighting?

    Hi Paul, it's been a long time! I think all above comments are correct in theory. IMO, corner weighting is an unnecessary refinement for street driving. When you corner weight your race car you do it custom tailored to the specific track with proper alignment for the track and proper...

    Hood alignment around headlights

    Have you tried adjusting the two round rubber bump stops at the front of the hood? They simply screw up or down to allow the hood to close with the spacing gap you want.

    Changing oil- Don't make the same mistake I did

    Make sure when you remove the old oil filter that you remove the rubber gasket with it! Over the last 16 years of Viper ownership I thought I had seen everything. Tonight I installed fresh oil and filter, then started the car. 5 seconds later I had 2 quarts of oil on the garage floor. The...

    Viper High Speeds

    We averaged 170.9 mph over the 100 mile open road race called the Elko Gamblers Run in 1998. Still have in car video of the entire run if interested. WOT over most of the course at high altitude. Back when I was young and stupid.

    2002 rt/10 with 900 original miles - need new tires

    While it totally sucks having to replace tires with only 1000 miles on them, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. My new set of PS2's are on their way from Luke at Tire Rack. Thanks to everyone for your help and a big thank you to Luke for being so knowledgable and responsive.

    Extremely disappointed in Dodge, Chrysler, SRT unacceptable service.

    It sounds like the missing tool you are referring to is called an inclinometer. The tool is used by Viper Techs specifically to adjust caster on the rear wheels. It is part of the kit of tools that certified viper techs possess. In 10 years of road racing Vipers, I never adjusted caster...

    Stock hp rating for 2000 RT10?

    At my age, my memory works better on my second glass of wine. I can tell you that Lou Belanger makes fine headers! He would come to our track events and closely watch the vipers running his product. He is very competitive in nature. He constantly revised his product to produce superior...

    Stock hp rating for 2000 RT10?

    I'm gonna take a chance here and test my memory against other veterans on this site. As I recall, Dyno results have shown, on average, an 11% loss in HP between the flywheel and the rear wheels. For example, the GEN 2 motors were rated 450 HP at the flywheel. An 11% loss would be 49.5 HP...

    2002 rt/10 with 900 original miles - need new tires

    Hmmm, it doesn't look like Michelin makes the Super Sport in a 335/18 rear or 345/18 rear. Need 18's. PS2 may be only option

    2002 rt/10 with 900 original miles - need new tires

    I purchased a beautiful 02 rt/10 in May. The good news is it has only 977 original miles. The bad news is it has the original tires on it (date stamps indicate 1999 and 2000 manufacturing dates). I checked the threads on the subject of Michelin Pilot tire life and date stamps, when they...

    Why no roll protection for the 2008?

    My $.02 worth.... Dodge was smart enough to address the issue of race safety by producing the Competition Coupe.... fuel cell, fire suppression system, ignition cut-off, safety harnesses, safety-designed race seat, full roll cage with side bars, window net, right restraint net, etc., and about...
