    SCCA T1 Any of you?

    Sorry, Paul, we just disagree. Spec class is the ultimate extreme and what I run, as I don't want to mess excessively with car development, but how are you going to get T1 races going if Vipers aren't slowed down? The Vette guys just won't come at all and then you will have 2 cars in the race...

    No viper days in texas?

    As a Texan, a MSR member and fairly active trackie, some counterpoints. MSR now has indoor plumbing! The clubhouse is nearing completion and will be a nice facility. TWS better? Faster, certainly, but worse runoff and not as technical, IMO. MSR's track is set to expand in the near future...

    Cooling System Air Bleeder-I like it!

    I'm blushing while moving this to the top.

    Road Course/Race Events

    I agree wiht JonB; good question! I don't know about your neck of the woods, but try to find all the nearby tracks and contact the tracks themselves to see what the bookings are. Then conctact the organizations that made the bookings. Tracks in your area I think will include (1) Watkins Glen...

    SCCA T1 Any of you?

    In defense of the restrictions, I race SCCA (in a a lowly regional class) and the idea of all rules in a given class is to even things out. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that a Viper is faster than a C5 (unless they are rabid Vettophiles). That said, I can safely say that I would get zero...

    What's up with this ?!!!

    Re: What\'s up with this ?!!! Given the timing, I would also be sure there was no literal "flood" problem, given what tropical storm Alison did in Houston.

    are there any good performance chips for the 93-95 viper?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not thinkg '92-'95 PCM can be reflashed and the chip is "potted" in epoxy.

    Check Engine Light Observations

    Sean and Rich and Dan explained it well, as far as I know. Here is some more that might help. The "fixable" problem via PCM flash has to do with the "primary" or upstream O2 sensor. As I understand federal emissions regs, a big change over recent years has been start-up emissions. Until the...

    LAST TEXAS RACE CELEBRATION!

    Hey, I'll be there in my crappy little Spec Miata #80! You can root for me ;-) And our own Deborah Lott will be there in her 2001 GTS #23 in T1 (she just converted her BRAND NEW CAR!).

    Height of Viper Center of Gravity

    Has anyone got the CG height for the RT/10 and GTS (esp late model) at stock ride height figured out? I am doing a few nerdly calculations and would love to know. Thanks,

    Help. Rear brake pad installation question!

    You absolutely DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE ROTOR. The caliper is a single-piston slider design, and you need only remove one of the fasteners and then rotate the caliper on the slider enough to remove & replace the pads. Note also that the piston will probably have to be retracted and you do so...

    cooling options

    You don't have a problem, based on you description. Nevertheless, and JonB mentions "burping," I shamelessly plug the following device: http://www.viperclub.org/news/bleedersannouncement.html JonB, why not mention it? I sent you a set for free to evaluate and I thought you found the setup...

    Question for Supercharging Gurus

    I'll jump in with some limited knowledge. By way of background, I have personally supercharged with the Vortech "kits" available for the Mustang 5.0 and presently have a pretty heavily-modified (but daily-driven)'95 C4 based upon the Vortech Corvette Kit. I experimented with a S/C on the '93...

    Goodrich g-Force R1s on sale

    FYI, tirerack.com has g-Force R1A tires in the Viper 18" sizes on sale. A set delivered to me here in Dallas was $500. Pretty good deal for track events.

    Lookin to buy a Viper 92-94

    Go to the viperclub.org home page and link to the prospective buyer info. JonB is a resource, but don't stop there! Find your local club and the members will be happy to show you the differences and take you for a ride in their personal cars. I have a '93 and an '01 and they are totally...

    i cant sell my gts!@#

    I know Jamie is a good guy and assume the seller is, too, but: Can't anyone use punctuation, grammar and avoid run-on sentences? I know I may take heat for being a "snob," but it is hard to read this run-on stuff. And face it, you may be trying to sell to a "snob" and not doing yourself any...

    How expensive is Viper Maintenance?

    I think Viper maintenance is very inexpensive, relatively speaking. I am a DIY guy, in part because I can do it outside work hours and it frankly takes less time to do it myslef at 8:00 one evening after work than to take time to schlep to a dealer and figure out how to get to work & back...

    No postings for non-Viper owners, thats what I say!!! Admins...

    I have been mostly lurking, when I can get here, but thought I'd sound off anyway ;-) 1. Limiting access would be a huge mistake, not only for traffic, but it would make us look like a bunch of elitist snobs and frankly do a lot of damage to the goodwill that most Viper owners try to spread...

    Dodge copies one of my products on the new Viper?..

    The sincerest form of flattery. Kind of like including bleeder valves in custom silicone radiator hoses. An excellent idea, if I do say so myself. What do you bet the high points in the '03 RT/10 have some kind of air bleed built in? Keith

    WANTED: Secondary O2 sensors

    Does anyone have any secondary O2 sensors ('96-up)I could buy for a song? They don't have to work; I really need only the connector for a little project I am working on. Please email me privately. Thanks,

    2001 Exterior Colors

    The yellow is virtually identical to the Prowler yellow and very close the the C5 Millenium Yellow. A very bright yellow, but I am biased with a Yellow/Black GTS in my garage ;-) Keith

    Squeaky Door Hinges

    I have found the best way is to remove the panel immediately in front of the door. 4 screws hold it in place (be sure to save the shims under the screws). Then you can easily see and access the hinge and detent mechanism. I have found it is the latter that tends to make the most noise and I...

    95' RT/10 almost ate it at 135 MPH

    Re: 95\' RT/10 almost ate it at 135 MPH My BS meter just went off at the "aero" discussion on GTS hood and fascia effects on downforce. Got any wind tunnel data on that, JonB? Just visually, I would think the hood louvers do nothing at all but let water in on the "tool trays" in the wheel...
