    ACDelco battery

    I have an AC Delco that works a helluva lot better than the OE "burping" battery and 3 Optimas. Interstate didn't have a no maintenance battery that would fit Vipers when I was looking and the DieHards were also maintenance batteries. This is a must on GTS's because it is such a PITA to get...

    96 GTS Blue paint info wanted

    Just an FYI, there are 4 suppliers of Viper Blue and 6 different shades. Make sure that you really do your homework. I just went through this dilemma last summer with my '96 GTS. Brad

    Help - Startech Brakes - 405mm/16''

    Re: Help - Startech Brakes - 405mm/16\'\' They also have NOT tested these brakes and cannot say that they provide a performance improvement(based on my conversations with them at the last 3 SEMA's)... it's all about bling.

    chrome tube filters?

    My understanding of this is that you will reduce your HP numbers because you are sucking hot air from the engine compartment and the chrome tubes absorb the heat generated by the engine (which will warm the incoming air even more and further reducing it's density). I cannot see any performance...

    Anyone used this dyno?

    Two words of caution Marv: - One these rollers cause some very serious heat inside your tires (because the smaller rollers spin 4 times more revolutions than a 40+ inch roller set up)... if they are old or at all compromised this will make the deterioration worse and it will not show on the...

    2000-2002 ACR TRACK SET UP !! NEED HELP/ SPECS

    BINGO! You want to drive a car that just like Mumford's then you should be talking to the man who was the guy that did his magic... Erik is a difficult guy to get a hold of and even harder to get into his shop, but it is well worth the wait. Good luck.

    Lowered Vipers; is camber correctable?

    Talk to Erik Messley! He has forgotten more about Viper alignments than most people know. I kid you not, just because a shop does alignments (even track alignments) it doesn't mean they know the correct settings for Vipers.

    Lowered Vipers; is camber correctable?

    If you find someone like Erik, they can also corner weight your car (even though it might not have adjustable perches like ACR's). This way your weight distribution is dead on with the drivers weight calculated into it. Make sure that whom ever does your car's alignment knows the inherent...

    Lowered Vipers; is camber correctable?

    If I were you I would talk to Erik Messley about this. He can give you all of the details and probably refer you to someone. You can email him at [email protected]. I would not trust a dealer to do an aggressive alignment (for street and track) for you. They only know what to do with OE...

    Poll ......new coupe.

    I saw it last night in LA and it was much worse than I thought. What a mediocre effort on the part of DC. There are just too many interrupting lines and surfaces that conflict with each other. My '96 looks 10 times better and evokes more emotions than any of these SRT-10's. Sorry folks they...

    Preparing my Viper for the track...??

    Add an extra quart of oil to your crankcase to avoid nuking your engine from oil starvation. Get an aggressive street alignment done and have the car corner weighted. The car inherantly toes inunder hard throttle and hard braking and binds up the bushings. That leaves your tire sidewalls to...

    Bad lower backs and the GTS

    Dittos on this bed. It does wonders for sleep, but nothing for the bad driving position. I have double herniations in L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs. Lumbar pads are useless to me because I have too much curvature in my lumbar. As soon as I get back on my feet financially, I am getting a Cobra...

    Semi Auto Sequential Gearbox

    One of these units already exists in the ME 4-12 that was being shown at SEMA. Archer opened up that baby and showed us and told us that it was a double clutch system that rocked. He's been testing the car for quite some time and says that it has been very reliable. By the way...

    Best Shifter

    The SVSi is even notchier than the B&M. I had the B&M and hated it. Broke off two handles and trashed it. I went with an even "notchier" feeling SVSi shifter. In my book notchier is a more positive feel when you hit each gate. So what is different on the "prototype" SVSi compared to...

    CA Members: Does anyone know of a muffler shop in LA...

    that will remove some Random Tech catalytics and replace them with some newer RT cats? I am returning my ceramic substrate cats to the manufacturer and replacing them with metal substrate ones. Thanks for your feedback. Brad :usa:

    NEW VIPER COUPE

    The Hemi Charger! Have you seen the renderings in Car and Driver? It looks like crap. They basically took a 300C and changed the grill. What happened to Tom Gales beautiful Charger that was cancelled at least 3 times. That design would still be impressive 10 years after it was shown to the...

    Does any one have the centered hood Louvers? Pic inside

    These louvers were never meant to cool the original racing Vipers. They were designed to relieve the pressure build up that occurs at high speeds. Anyhing above 170 mph the hood looks like a bedsheet that wants to fly off of the car. When the pressure is relieved the front end becomes much...
