Johnny:
I don't think that Dodge has changed it's contract with Michelin to provide OE tires. So your answer is Michelin Pilot Sports.
Many Viper guys like the previous generation tire the MXX3 because it is a stickier tire. Sports supposedly do better in the rain.
I've been talking to Wes at Grant Performance and he seems to know quite a bit about turbocharging and engine building. He markets his services to very high end customers (many of whom are outside the US). He is local to me, so I'll try to drop in on him soon and give you all some feedback...
Re: Who has done Bobby Archer or Sean Roe\'s revalved Koni/spring Upgrade?
What spring rates did you go with? Were they progressive or linear springs (I know that Archer has both)? Do you use your car as a daily driver? I think that I remember that you don't, so how do you think the ride...
Rick:
If you want to be scared, go visit Doug Levin in Miami (FL) and get a ride in one of his cars. Bring a change of clothes, because no car should have that much power and be street legal.
Tell us how you like your ride. Good luck.
Re: Who has done Bobby Archer or Sean Roe\'s revalved Koni/spring Upgrade?
Sean:
Thanks for your feedback. I guess that there aren't many Archer users on this BB?

Sean:
Can you drop me an email with their email addresses (or the best way to contact them)?
Thanks and have a great day.
Who has done Bobby Archer or Sean Roe\'s revalved Koni/spring Upgrade?
I would like to hear feedback from anyone who has done these upgrades on their daily drivers? I have a GTS that I would like to upgrade shocks and springs. I only go to the track about 5 or 6 times a year and can't justify...
Buckeye:
It totally depends on what you want the car for. If you want to use it as a daily driver, or run it on a road race track the Gen 2 GTS has some improvements in the suspension and engine performance (it's also lighter in weight than the older RT's).
If all you want is to use your car...
Jay:
How long have these guys worked on Vipers? Have you seen or heard anything about their work? It's nice to see a tuner on the west coast.
Thanks for your feedback.

Keith and Frank:
Your points are well taken. My point alluded more to the fact that Stop Tech is not new to the brake game. They aren't trying to compete on the scale of a Brembo, Baer or Alcon. What they have done is put quite a bit of time into studying the characteristics of Viper braking...
Frank:
You must admit that most of the solutions out there don't deliver the performance that the Stop Tech's have documented (especially for the price). Their rotors have been out there for years (on race tracks), and you'd have a tough time finding a better quality rotor on the market.
Let...
You are a wise man Jon B. Did Jay say that there was going to be a VCA members only area? I didn't realize that it had been decided. I agree that it would be very nice to sort through alot of the flak that exists on the BB today.
Albert:
I would also recommend that you talk to Doug Levin. He really knows his stuff (like Tom Welch) in this area. It's worth sending an email or the phone call.
If he isn't one yet, I'll bett hat he spends enough time in this area to earn the spot as the moderator.
Jon B., you are a real asset to the Viper Club UBB. Keep up the great feedback. I can tell that people on the BB are getting used to your comments, when they are waiting for you to pounce...
Dale:
I think that this brake package would dramatically help your lock up problems (although the stock Viper brake can't really lock up above 65 mph). The pedal feel & modulation (for threshold braking), the increased balance (without touching the master cylinder or proportioning valve) will...
First of all guys, this BB looks great! Congrats on all of the hard work that all of you have done.
My question (that never came up when I was part of the beta test) is how easy (or hard) will it be to access the archives of the new UBB? The previous site was very cumbersome, and could use...
