    "Dry" wheel cleaning, is there a safe way to do this??

    I do the same, I buy a bunch of micro fiber towels every time Im at Auto store. I slowly recycle the old ones from the paint to the wheels. I rarley wash my car with soap water, unless it gets really dirty. Otherwise its qucik detailer and a microfiber on the paint before every drive. I use...

    Paxton Belt Deflection

    Thats a tough question. I was told by a Tuner that he knows of a few that make them so tight you can stand on them. Others just go by a feel. I wish there was a certain torque setting, but theres not. The best thing is to just monitor if your losing boost, that will tell you if you have belt...

    Need new tires (I guess?)

    Thats odd, but I dont doubt you. I on other hand have had problems with the Pirelli Rosso's on a few different cars. There sidewall seems to be very weak, prone to blow outs or sidewall bubbles from small pothole impacts. Many of my customers have been unhappy with Pirelli,so I switch them out...

    Need new tires (I guess?)

    If you have stock rms, 18/19" go with the PS2's. Otheriwse some have been happy with the hoosier A6. I have 19/20" so tires choices are few, but I still chose to go with the PS2, it just works so well.

    ACR Wheels

    But I think the calipers are the same. Shouldnt be a problem. But why go with a heavier wheel. The ACR wheel is/or like the Sidewinder wheel used in 2005 on the Copperhead edition. It was a very light wheel compared to the rest. I think the whole set shaved a good 40+lbs.

    Need 2 tires !!

    If you have the stock wheels....18/19" , then go with the PS2's. You will be very happy. It is the same tire they are using on the 2008 Viper. It works very well and has good feedback when your really pushing it.

    Tonneau Covers for 08 Convertibles . . .

    I havent sen a 08 up close yet, but I thought all they changed cosmetically was the hood. If thats the case, I dont see why a 03-06 tonneau wouldnt fit.

    Need 2 tires !!

    They dont make the Pirell's in the proper size for the Viper in 18/19" for the SRT. And my buddy had Pirellis on with a Paxton, noticed huge improvement with the PS2's. To each their own, everyone has different opinions and driving style.

    Need 2 tires !!

    Id look to switching to the PS2's. There a great tire and sized right. The Pirelli in a 355, is just a hair wider, not much at all, but the tire is 1" shorter then stock. That cant be helping your traction. Just a thought.

    I just saw this on Autoblog. Viper gets the Axe

    Re: Viper Cancellation officially confirmed 3/31 Repost and secondly, there is nothing offiical about it until its posted by Chrsyler or Cerebus. Though it could end up being true, your just adding to the rumor mill....:rolleyes:

    Enjoyed the car alittle to much this weekend

    Is your car modded? A Lambo Superlegerra is about 3000 lbs and 530hp. Also has AWD. 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, so If he knew how to drive and your stock he should have got you. Good race. Its always fun running into someone like that on the street.

    Unbelievable air filter replacement realization

    I agree. Though we dont have ferrari's, the Viper and its special parts are still very rare. its not like they make 35k units a year, so most stores wont stock stuff for us. I always order stuff from Parts rack, get it in about 2 days. Oil filters and some other stuff, I'll get at dealer, but...

    Is This A Corsa Exhaust ???????

    Looks like a Corsa, now just pull the stock cats or get a set of hi-flows and you can et a little more rumble if thats what you're looking for.

    Paxton races?

    I beat new Z06's when I was at 508rwhp, usually had them by 1/2 car to a car, depending on who got the better jump. These were freeway rollons. My buddy with his Paxton, would then destroy me from a roll on. So a Z06, stock or lightly modded wont stand a chance against a Paxton Viper. I can run...

    Poll - Mod Question

    My rear end fell apart, lots of metal chunks in it. It was only laying down one leggers. I feared it would blow up very soon, especially since I added a paxton a few weeks ago, so I got the Quaife. By no means is the Quaife a waste. The Xmetal TB and smaller crank pulley got me 9 rwhp, I was...

    Poll - Mod Question

    Well I defiantely wouldnt do 3:73's. You'll never hook up. I did the Quaife with 3:33 and its perfect. I hear most arent even happy with 3:55's, 1st and 2nd gear are useless. Most of my races are at freeway speeds, the 3:33 seems to suit that nice and on a warm day, i can get my big 20" PS2's to...

    San Diego Header Recommendation

    I think ILLSMOQ paid like $2500 for the Kooks headers and mid pipes, and they are alot harder to install due to design. He had to lift and slide the motor forward and back to get them in. Whereas my set up he was able to drop in with minmal work.

    Just got my Paxton installed

    Looks like they only ran it up to 5700-5800 rpm, any reason they didnt go to 6k. Are you getting to lean? And was this just the factory tune or did you dyno tune it. Nice numbers !!!!

    San Diego Header Recommendation

    ILLSMOQ runs the Kooks with his 04 SRT-10. When he installed on stock car with just Corsa, he picked up 25rwhp from the addition of the Kooks Headers. His car sounds good and is loud. I have the M&M headers with Corsa, mine is loud also, but a little different sound then his. Im very happy...

    Can't get insured - Any suggestions?

    Your leaving out too many variables, age, location, do you have any other cars, how man y miles a year are you claiming and what deductibles. All these factors play a huge part. I will say if your real young and having a accident/speed tickets you may get a little bent over, but $1480 a month...
