    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    Just saw ACR Joe's comments, which mystify me. The 360 is not a "little" stretch, it is about twice the cost of a Viper (including the new car) and it has no performance advantage. I would like one, but face facts that it is to a large extent a poseur car (like I said, I'd still like one and...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    Pretty much the same as Dean here, except I have the folly of a '93 RT/10 and '01 GTS already. I am going to have a hard time parting with the '93, which is a prettier car, but I just don't have the room, $ or time for 3 Vipers. I will buy the '03 and if it performs as advertised, then the...

    Track Events & Insurance Claims: Lessons Learned in my Trial (LONG)

    That is truly odd. When I had an incident at Texas Motor Speedway last year Progressive paid with a further comment that they probably would have paid even if it had been a timed event. Of course they never wanted to see me again . . . . The car in my avatar is no more, but I do like the...

    NSX -- talkin smack.

    The only way an NSX will beat a Viper is if you drop them off a building together. The more aero NSX will hit the ground first.

    5 point belts. Team Tech Schroth Simpson RJS or?>>>>

    Here's a question. Exactly what is the preferred 6-point mounting method in a coupe/sedan (as opposed to open wheel race car), especially the anti-sub straps?

    7th Viper Invitational--is it worth the $$$$$$

    I go about every other year or so; My favorite VOI ever was VOI 1. It was tons cheaper, done in Detroit, we toured the old New Mack plant, the Technology Center, had a nice dinner, laps at Michigan Int'l Speedway and watched the IROC and CART races, and a much smaller group. I may be in the...

    How to disassemble rear calipers?

    Very, very tricky. The seal kit is available and the caliper can be rebuilt, but reassembly is a major pain. The parking brake actuator mechanism is fairly complex. It has been a while, but on the side of the caliper is an access hole with a recessed allen bolt that acts much like a set...

    GTS As A Daily Driver?

    So are you selling the Navigator? I am afraid the Viper as your truly only, only car is not a very good idea. I go almost anywhere, any time, any weather with mine and it is basically my daily driver, but I have a pickup truck for hauling 4 people in a pinch, towing my race car trailer...

    Automobile Magazine preliminary numbers on SRT/10

    The article is in print, Automobile has a web site, www.automobilemag.com, but I say no easy link to the article. I hope it was just a tired mule of a car and the article does mention the rev limiter was set to 5800 rpm, so it may have been mapped way down on power to keep the press corps from...

    Automobile Magazine preliminary numbers on SRT/10

    Elapsed times were not horrible, but were on par with what I would expect an inexperienced driver to do in a stock GTS. The speed at the end of the 1/4 is almost independent of wheelspin and a strong indicator of horsepower. The current GTS should run 117-119. I have had three GTSs and none...

    Automobile Magazine preliminary numbers on SRT/10

    I sure hope some hapless granny was driving. 0-60 4.4 sec 1/4 mile 12.3 @ 115 mph It was a development mule, but all I can say is: WEAK, WEAK, WEAK! Please let this be an anomoly!

    airflow sensor

    Injectors are a bit odd, too, as they are bottom feed.

    Viper is speed density and has no airflow sensor

    Sean's kit is great! My solution is less expensive and if your hoses are in good shape, it is easier, as it does not require removing or replacing any hoses. Email me if you are interested and the link for basic info on this site is: http://www.viperclub.org/news/bleedersannouncement.html

    Need help - GTS window/robbery

    Common problem, my '96 and every '96 I have seen does it. As a result, I roll up the windows ONLY WHEN DRIVING. Any time the car is parked, I crack them 1/4" so as not to stress the weatherstrip in order to maintain a good seal when driving. I fought the dealer on mine and had the expensive...

    1.7 rockers?

    No flame intended here, I just wanted specific, first hand info. The conclusion may be right, but it is hard to figure out exactly what happened and how to avoid it without details. It sure sounded to me like the car owner simply did not have the first-hand knowledge to explain exactly what...

    1.7 rockers?

    Who here personally installed rockers? I know I am in the minority in having done it myself and had no problem with Crowers (and I would expect no problems with Arrow or T&D). The install is CRITICAL. If you have a failure down the road, what installer is going to say "I probably did not set...

    Autocross vs.Road Course

    AutoX is way easier on the car, although it might be close in terms of total wear & tear per minute of track time. But it would take you about 4 years of A-X to equal 1 weekend of road course driving.

    Question on dimensions for exhaust

    I am thinking about building new tubing from the stock ('01) header collector to the CORSA cat back system, all in 3". I can get the armored stainless flex piece and stainless tubing, but I did not know the dimension and source for the flange that mates to the header collector. I could take it...

    Car pulls to the right

    Dean! Fix that avatar! What are you doing posting here with "P***** Club" below your car! Don't make us excommunicate you. And I don't think caster would make the car pull in a straight line; I thought caster is used to induce camber only when the wheels are turned. When travelling straight...

    Don't VOID your warranty at VOI

    Re: Don\'t VOID your warranty at VOI Jamz, your info is simply incorrect. Give us names, dates and exactly what you were told. DC recognizes these cars are taken to drivers education track events and has historically approved that kind of activity. Racing is out, but high speed driver's ed...

    Can we dispel the "poor handling Viper" myth?

    Re: Can we dispel the \"poor handling Viper\" myth? Part of the Viper's rep comes from the many novice drivers who buy the car, show up at a track, and cannot extract the most from the car except when flatfooting in a straight line. More power to these folks exercising the Viper in its native...

    Car pulls to the right

    My guess; camber imbalance, too much right negative and/or not enough left negative camber. You can get a rough idea looking at the lower bushing cam bolts - are they pretty even from side to side?

    I need serious advice regarding titling issue ->

    Feel free to contact me; I have dealt with lost titles (gotten new title issued) and have researched the issue of sales of vehicles in TX as far as title is concerned. I was not sure about the CO stuff above; as far as I know that only applies to sales by manufacturers. Titles themselves are...
