Did anyone explain the need for the strengthened steel frame? Any issues/concerns with structural integrity/strength?
Also, Yellow and Tom , thanks for any follow up on the reflash for 2008s.

I have asked this same question before in fact I may have e-mailed Mobil with the question and answer you cited: The short answer is that it is within OEM spec to use the "European Formula" Mobil 0w40 motor oil.

I certainly don't want to fan the flames here in the stock versus stock debate. I think it simplifies things if you think of it in these terms: Here are x dollars, walk into a production car showroom and order or pick up the car that is delivered to the dealership. Using this, and only this...
Incredible video. Thanks to Chrysler, SRT, the VCA, Tom and everyone involved for putting this together. i would also be very interested in dowloading/ordering this video. Again, thanks and a big congratulations to team Viper.:2tu:

I think Herb was just being conservative with the 200 mile figure; that is what I did on my 08 but I did 500 on my 2006. I think the main point is just to get the initial oil that will be filled with metal shavings and other contaminants out of the engine once it has some time on the road to...

For goodness sakes, stop burying your feelings and open up; tell us what you really think.:)
On a serious note, Bat, congrats on the new car. I was seriously thinking about getting a GTR as a daily driver to replace my M5 but the lack of a traditional H-gated manual transmission...

Thanks for sharing your insights. At this point, I have two more driving schools at my local track and maybe two more SCCA autocrosses and then that's it till next spring. So there is a lot of wisdom in becoming more familiar with the 08, finishing out the year on the PS2s, and then...
Thanks. I am leaning more towards the Sport Cups at this point. After all, Dodge saw fit to use them as OEM on the ACR. Presumably, Chrysler engineers (as well as their legal department) anticipated that the ACR would be driven by many owners as a street car as opposed to a track-only car...
Thanks for weighing in on this post; I attended one of the Oregon SCCA Solo driving schools back in April and I thought my instructor told me that as long as I had "exhaust-only" mods I would still fit into the stock class. So headers would bump me into ASP?
Thus far this season this has been...
You're neither stupid nor crazy; the RB-1 unit on my 2008 does not have a time button. I remember that I had to use another key press sequence to get the number sequence for Sirius activiation. It was something like hitting the enter or cancel key four times in quick succession but now I can't...
I will be dynoing my 08 with Belanger next Friday and will post the results here on the board in a separate thread comparing the baseline dyno figures with the post-install figures.
