    Does insurance cover your car if you wreck it at the track?

    Been there, done that ! Progressive now has law on the books in GA (which will probably be followed in FL if a case of first impression) that interprets the Progressive policy language very much in favor of the insurance company. Every person is entitled to their day in court, but your chances...

    Rear Frame Rails Needed for 1997 GTS

    I smacked my baby in the rear last summer and am looking for passenger side rear frame rails - - i.e., the upper and lower ones with the bends in them. I also need a couple of other rear frame components on that side. Anyone know who might have them or a rear clip ? Does Dodge sell a rear...

    What's the latest on a new street Coupe ?

    What\'s the latest on a new street Coupe ? Been away from the board for what seems like forever. Specifically, will it be (i) at all; (ii) an SRT 10 with a hard top (ugh !) or more like the Comp Coupe (yeah !!); (iii) available before 2007 (an unjustiable eternity); (iv) priced similar to the...

    Eibachs and Koni adjustment

    Springs require a gizmo to compress them to remove them. To adjust the factory Konis, they have to be off the car and that requires the gizmo to compress the springs. If you are going to adjust the Konis, increasing the rebound force (that's the only adjustment available on the stock...

    SRT-10 Coupe - guess the stats

    Coupe - - PLEASE make one (preferably with 600+hp) Though I am currently unemployed having been laid off by a GM controlled entity :mad: , I would sell my eldest into bondage to get a Gen III coupe; provided that IT ISN'T MERELY AN SRT-10 WITH A HARD TOP. If it resembles the CC or the new...

    Who makes the best sticky street tires?

    ViporXXX, I have a 97 GTS wth 17" wheels. I wanted to upgrade to larger/beter brakes, but needed 18" wheels to do so. John Purner told me that I did not have haev 18 " all the way around and could go 18" up front only. He said THAT some of the VRL guys were doing just that - - i.e., running...

    TERRIBLE NEWS - PAUL MUMFORD - PLANE CRASH?

    Truly tragic ! Though I never met Paul, he\'s a legend in our club. I am sure he's already working on setting up a race with Ayrton Senna up there.

    Offset spacer for stock rims??????

    Been there, done that. John Purner cut me a .5" spacer out of billet to fit the set of his wheels I use at the track. He did a great job. The reason was I tried moving my front stockcalipers to the rear. Unknown/undisclosed to me was the fact that there is not enough clearance for those...

    An open forum for Roe Supercharged Viper owners/installers

    Are the injector connection issues solely related to the SC and fueling/injector modifications or are these issues applicable to us normally-aspirated, stock-injectored folk too ?

    PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!! PROBLEM WITH BRAND NEW FE GTS!!!!!

    They just replaced my tranny about a month ago (lost 5th gear) and they DID NOT use the 03 tranny as I had hoped. I suspect since I am nearing the end of my warranty they realized they could resolve my claim with the old style, thus ridding themselves of a my claim while assuring that when/if...

    Idle Hang Revisited

    We reflashed the PCM to no avail. My tech and I think it's the IAC motor. My TPS may also be contributing. I hadn't thought of that.

    Idle Hang Revisited

    I have had this symptom for more than 3 years. It is intermittent and not a huge issue, but it is a pain and cannot be the way the car is designed to operate.

    Anyone know which fascia/splitter this is?

    I am guessing the splitter is one of the McCann jobs, but not sure. A VRL guy should be able to tell us.

    GA Viper Vs. Z06 Round IV at Little Talladega

    JD, that song was too funny ! Someone please e-mail me when this Little T event is to occur. I too had hearsd no Viopers and Vettes allowed there - - probably due to stormin Norman's off track excursion a couple of years ago when he took out a barbed wire fence (and his wing) only to get back...

    18" Kumho up front?

    Re: 18 Llleone, I think Tony's side sills comment may also refer to rocks thrown up the side of the car from the sticky Kuhmos (as well as inside the heel wells). I am not sure if the 3M clear covering is adviseable in light of the side sill heat, but I admit I have never tried it. Others...

    Michelins and Viper days

    For those of us who love our Hoosiers and other tire marques (get it ? :D ), at the VIR Viper Days, I am contemplating having a "Rubber Renegades" trophy for the fastest and safest driver in my class (Unlimited). I urge others to sponser similar trophies in their respective classes. You...

    18" Kumho up front?

    Re: 18 Lleone, I believe a number of VRL drivers had their cars set up with 18" fronts and 17" rears. Call John Purner at Complete Cutom Wheel in Daytona Beach and ask him - - then buy some of his wheels ! I have considered this as well. I am trying to figure out the cheapest way to shoe...

    Car runs [too ?] rich at WOT.

    SoCal, my symptomatic black smoke in the decel zones usually has not gone away by the end of the day. Which is why I suspect oil puke. Sometimes just after a long/hard decel, when I first get back on ther throttle I see what looks in the rearview like a grayish-white puff of smoke, which is...

    Car runs [too ?] rich at WOT.

    Sean, mine does both ! Love the occasional flames ! Dynoed my car yesterday but they couldn't read the A/F ratio for some reason. Figured out my VEC 1 at setting -18 on the heavy load dial got me appx. 3-4 rwhp from the -16 setting and was still in the upper green/lower blue area. I was down...

    Car runs [too ?] rich at WOT.

    Suspect hi-flow cats may be completely blown out effectively making my car cat-less. Would O2 sims help the perceived rich condition any ? At the track my car puffs black smoke in the brake zones. Though there may be some oil puke (wouldn't that make white smoke ?), my tech thinks I have an...

    VIPER DAYS......Brake Pads???

    I agree with Dean on the choice of PFC. No offense to the various dealers on this board, but I have tried Hawk Blue (eats rotors big time),Porterfield R4 (not as much bite and heat handling as Pagid or PFC), Pagid (good race pad, but there's one I like better) and PFC 01 up front with Brakeman...
