    Viper Crash at Speed World Challenge

    OH MY GOSH I must tell you all thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Viper Nation has been so concerned about the welfare of me and the McCanns after the pounding we all took on the next to last lap of the Speed WC-GT race at Road America. Calls have been coming in all day today. I love...

    Comp Coupe: First Race; First Impressions: Thunderhill

    "So Howdjyalikeit?" That was the most common way people introduced themselves to the Comp Coupe owners over the week-end at Thunderhill last Saturday and Sunday. First I must tell you how fortunate I feel for being the owner of one of these beasts. Eric Petersen, Tommy Archer, John...

    Woodhouse Comp Coupe photos from 3/22 Viper Days at Thunderhill, Willows, CA

    The design came from the twisted mind of Brad Jensen, our young website photo person with a little help from muaa as I have been on parole now and thinking out of the box more. Auto Trim design of Omaha did the execution. Brad has some "out there" left if you need him Jerry.

    Tech help needed re: Tuning bugs

    Jason, Re your springs: It sounds like you are staying with stock shocks, if that is the case, cut coils are simply bad business and you need to lower the car using the upper spring perches from Collectors Choice or adjustable perch from Northwind engrg. I would choose early ACR springs, say...

    How to rebuild and improve stock rear brakes

    Thanks again Tom. I am late seeing your post. I can add a couple of alternatives as well. The rear brake caliper is 36MM on cars up to 99. No need to do the machine shop thing if you want to bolt on some 2000 to 2002 rear calipers. They are 38MM. Yeah I know, sounds easy, it just...

    SRT steering behavior. "taming the two-headed beast"

    Re: SRT steering behavior. \"taming the two-headed beast\" I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed this. Here is a possible reason this phenomenon of hunting on troughed out pavement has worsened. Of course we all know about wide tires and their issues. If you compared the Gen II 2002...

    Bob Woodhouse ?? - Grill Cover for SRT-10 Rear Space under Trunk

    Jerry RE your concern. I agree there is a need to dress this area. The approach I would suggest is to leave that hole alone and put a visual blocker just behind the battery and full across. This would be in the form of black sheet plastic. If a vendor doesn't grab onto this maybe I can get...

    SRT/10 Observations: or A second look at a first impression (long)

    Have you ever caught yourself resisting change? What I have read on this board about the new SRT-10 tells me that many of us have. I catch myself all the time. Which is what urged me to write this note to you all. I had some private moments in our dealership Viper Pit yesterday with...

    Recieved Invoice today, no VIN though?

    Hello "2C" I'm not sure why you asked the question, but to help: A vehicle always has a "vin" vehicle identification number or serial number before an invoice is printed. Dealers get invoiced a couple of days ahead of the vehicle coming off-line usually. Vipers are inconsistent in...

    Eliminating noises we don't want... a tech question for you.

    Re: Eliminating noises we don\'t want... a tech question for you. Your question, does undercoating make sense for sound reduction. The answer in my experience is yes. We have been spraying sound shield and other undercoating chemicals for 27 years in our dealerships. I find strong opinions...

    VIPER HORSEPOWER @ 450 FOR RT-10/GTS IS VERY LOW!

    I can't believe I am using time to respond to an intellectual giant, so Hmm, that should speak for itself. To get the facts straight Mr. EXEC; D/C has already delivered what you asked for: Starting at 400 hp and going to 500 hp, my math shows that to be 100 hp. That is also 20%...

    Performance exhaust systems??

    The headers will be a little bit of a wait still. As you may be aware the cylinder head exhaust flange has a different bolt pattern requiring a new header design. Many suppliers have not had the chance to get their hands on a car yet.

    SRT Pictures

    Maybe my age is showing, I have been very attached to the looks of the Gen I and II Vipers, now after being able to study the 2003 in the flesh, wow, this is as dramatic and stimulating as the first time I saw the GTS. Pictures won't do this for you. It is time to be alone with a real one...

    New Adjustable front stabilizer bar/testing completed/available to ship in two weeks

    Scuse the lack of info, to answer the two questions above. This bar fits Gen II or 1996 thru 2002. It may be adaptable to the Gen I without a problem, but I have not done any testing. That is step two about March of this year. This bar will fit and make an ACR respond to adjustments the same...

    The Beast Came Unglued!!! What the heck happened?

    I feel bad for you, but the experience relates to hydroplaning. It snuck up on you. Don't beat yourself up over this. Years back I went through a similar mental process with one of my cars. The car, as we all know carries huge contact patches and as the water on the road increased, may have...
