I prepared an analysis indicating a true economic operating cost of approximately $1,100 per hour for the Competition Coupe. This covers only the cost of parts & supplies for normal wear and tear, no labor. It does not cover crash damage, event fees, travel, lodging, etc. This only...
If you are looking for Eibach springs or Hypercoil springs, I have a large inventory that I purchased for my GTS racecar years ago. Many are brand new, never used. All of them are 2-1/2" inside diameter and most are either 6" or 8" long. Let me know specifically what you are looking for...
Dodge Motorsports has made an interesting post on this web site in the VCC section. Dodge has brought back the name "Team Viper" and states that the team consists of the McCann brothers, Woodhouse, and Archer all of which are noted as privateers racing in the Speed GT series.
I wonder if...
Oh puhleeze....
The reason you want cast iron brake rotors is because they cost only $75 each and work fine for either amateur or low-mid level professional racers. That's what comes on a 3000 pound Comp Coupe which stops 60-0 in 97 feet. Since they last about 25 race hours, your cost is $3...
You need an inclinometer to set caster on the rear wheels of a Viper. This is part of the Viper Essential Toolkit that certified Viper Techs have. I doubt your alignment shop will have one.
Yes, I believe the tires are a huge factor. The CC also has a far less restrictive exhaust system with its race muffler and no cats. With Goodyear slicks on, my CC weighs 2,934 pounds without fuel or driver. Isn't this like a 400 lb savings over the SRT-10? You also have a lightweight...
Here are reasonable prices for parts and labor:
Brake rotors - $75 each X 4 = $300
Brake pads - $205 per axle set X 2 = $410
Clutch and pressure plate = $340
Labor on brake pads and rotors, bleed fluid - 1.5 hours
Labor on clutch and pressure plate - 2.5 hours (my guess)
At $65/hour labor, your...
You can purchase the Competition Coupe brake components directly from Dodge. Front and rear calipers are only $214 each. They are made by Brembo and have 4 pistons both front and rear (pistons in rear calipers are smaller). Brake rotors are only $75 each. If you want to get ripped off but...
We were blowing 106s - 107s at Arizona Motorsports Park with the stock Comp Coupe exhaust system. We had to fabricate half-a$$ exhaust baffles to get down under the 103db sound limit. Absolutely no chance of hitting 92 db limit.
I wonder how much of the 15 rwhp gain is due to the K&N filters and how much is due to the modified K&N snorkle. Is it possible that most, if not all, of the gain is simply from the filters? Most of the Comp Coupes I am aware of are already using K&N filters in place of the stock...
Set your tires to the maximum pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire. This should be done when your tires are cold, i.e. before they have been driven on for the day.
My car is still the same as you see in the photo. Muzzy purchased Phil De La O's CC which was painted the same color as mine. Muzzy painted Phil's car blue and that's what you saw at Thunderhill.
PDM, why such a negative spin on the VCC being allowed to race in the series? The SCCA recognizes the distinction you are referring to and, accordingly, has labeled it as "limited preparation" with no substantive modifications allowed. Unlike our competitors, we cannot make any internal engine...
PDM, I think everybody shares your enthusiasm for a street coupe. Please consider the following in the context of what you have written above.
Although the VCC is not street legal, it can be purchased by anyone directly from Viper Race headquarters. Put in your order today and you can have...
Here's my race preparation checklist. I created this specifically for my Competition Coupe, however, most of it applies to any Viper being prepared for a track event. I perform all steps before each race event. Working by myself, it requires about 20 hours, which includes a complete corner...
I was fortunate to be successful in my efforts to sell my 2001 ACR. I won't disclose the price of the sale, however as stated in the ad, it was in mint perfect condition, completley original, and babied with only 1,500 miles on it. It's a no-excuse car.
A VCA member e-mailed me asking if I...
