    I received my boot cover for my 2008 several months after pickup from the dealership with a letter apologizing and explaining that boot covers were not available at the time my car was built. /Rich

    Airbag warning light on 2008 . . .

    Went out for a drive today in my 2008 and after driving about 70 miles the red airbag light turned on in the lower left hand corner of the instrument cluster. Car kept driving fine and after returning home and letting the car sit for about about 20 minutes I turned the car back on and the...

    Does anyone know the paint code for the . . .

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I just purchased some VHT gloss black caliper paint which is rated to 900 degrees F. I assume this is enough heat protection for the exhaust surround. /Rich

    Does anyone know the paint code for the . . .

    You could try calling Prefix; they might know the color code for the Mopar Concept Coupe. On my original question, all of the high temperature paint that I have found is in an aerosol can. I tried spraying some into a plastic cup and then applying with a toothpick but it does not seem to...

    Tire pressure?

    On the 2008 Viper which have the PS2 as the OEM tire, Dodge specifies 29 psi cold for all tires. For autocross events, I have run the PS2s at 34 psi front and 30 psi rear cold; For driving schools on a road course I have used 33 psi cold for all tires which worked really well. /Rich

    Finally.....my car comes to life.

    Believe it; when I was specing out an Atom they listed the weight of the car as approximately 1100-1300 lbs. This combined with a supercharged 300 hp GM Ecotec or Honda 4-cylinder and the power to weight ratio is incredible. Down at Brammo in Ashland, Ore. where they made the U.S. Atom until...

    Finally.....my car comes to life.

    I had narrowed my next fun car purchase down to an Ariel Atom or a 2008 Viper. While I ultimately went with the Viper, I drove an acquaintance's Ariel Atom with 300 hp and it was scary fast even with "only" 300 hp (I was wearing a helmet and the car was accelerating so strongly that my helmet...

    Finally.....my car comes to life.

    Now that's what I call weight reduction. I wonder how fast that thing moves without the body panels. /Rich

    Part numbers for 2008 gas cap teather and hook? (Dodge forgot these on my car).

    2009 Viper's caught testing

    Same here although with the addition of an Autoform or similar rollbar and harnesses the 2003-2008 convertibles still make a respectable track/HPDE car. /Rich

    Belanger problems again

    I posted early on in this thread and have been monitoring it off and on since then. With all due respect to you Patrick (and I do want to make clear that I wish nothing more than to have you resolve these issues to your satisfaction and for you to enjoy your car fully) it does appear that there...

    I hate my PS2's need help ?

    Mark -- I have a high performance driving school tomorrow at PIR and set my cold pressures this morning on my 2008 at 30 psi rear and 34 psi front to dial out some understeer. Do those starting pressures sound reasonable or should I jack it up to something like 32 psi cold rear and 36 psi...

    09 New Rims

    I would also be curious as to the weight of these rims; I am looking for a second set of track rims that is comparable to or lighter than the Sidewinders on my 2008 (17.5 lbs front and 25 lbs rear). /Rich

    Care to share Michelin PS2's experience?

    Personally, I would not run mixed tires especially if you are going to any track days. /Rich

    Care to share Michelin PS2's experience?

    I have about 2400 miles on my PS2s and have gone through a few autcross schools but no track days yet so I can't comment on track use but for daily use the wear has been fine. I believe the fix a flat kit that comes with the 2008 models is not intended as a long-term fix; my guess is that it is...

    PS2 tire wear

    Mark -- Have you had the chance to run 2008 Viper or other Vipers with the PS2s at the track? What would you recommened as good cold starting pressures for a typical 4-5 session HPDE event (each session lasting 15-20 minutes)? I remember a year or two ago I asked either you or Bill P about...

    Eliminate Gas Cap to Body Contact During Refueling

    Interesting; my 2008 vert does not have a tether for the gas cap at all. It just detaches leaving it far easier to lose the cap entirely. /Rich
