    Cut a .509 reaction and a 114mph trap..

    13.4 - yikes! I'm surprised you trapped @114. I was frustrated last year with a 12.57, felt better this year with a 12.14. 13.4 I'd be insane; maybe I already am just for thinking this way.

    O2 C/E light solved

    Apex Smakebox solved light from rear O2. I have refrained from moving front O2 as described above as the c/e light has remained off. I am running a full Belanger system w/o cats. That may change to w/cats shortly.

    New Belanger Headers/Exhaust installed.

    Same setup sans cats: Before 12.57 @ 115 After 12.14 @ 119 Snakeboxes eliminated c/e light caused by cats delete. Improper front O2 sensor locations may also precipitate c/e light. No cats and 4 bullet mufflers; still too loud. No cats assults the olfactories; to be rectified.

    Serious question: Do Viper owners (bad ones) disconnect the odometer??

    I have accumulated 21,000 miles on my 99 ACR and enjoyed every mile. I drive it every chance I get. While I'm far from financially independent, I don't concern myself with resale value. Life is too darn short; enjoy it every day! Besides, I had cars that I've simply saved for the next owner...

    Which year vipers do not have a drain plug in the rear end?

    I do not believe any year came equipped with a drain plug. Your choices are to suck it out, or drill and tap the case to facilitate routine draining (I don't believe removing the carrier assembly is a realistic option). I chose the latter and had success drilling and tapping the case. As a...

    Viper Windows

    I've had 11 Corvettes and sold a 94 ZR-1 to buy my 99 ACR. Many Viper loyalists embrace the early RT-10 for their purist characteristics that yield a true drivers/enthusiasts car; they wouldn't have it any other way. While I can appreciate and respect their POV, I feel as you do and require a...

    Is Green okay??

    I had a Polo Green ZR-1 and one day passed a Viper sporting a very similar color. I absolutely fell in love with the car and at that moment decided I had to have a Viper. When I was in the market (I'm impulsive so I wasn't "in the market" very long), none were available. I settled (if you can...

    Pilot Sports - 21,000 miles and worn more so in the center! Anyone know why?

    I have gotten great service from the OEM set of Pilot Sports. Just wondering if it could have been even better. The center tread of the rear tires measures just under 3/32" while the outside tread (both sides) measures just over 5/32". Call it about 2.5/32" difference. I maintained a cold...

    Serious question: Do Viper owners (bad ones) disconnect the odometer??

    Surprisingly, there are a number of low mileage garage/trailer queens available. Many owners are content to just have the car sitting looking pretty. When I was looking, I too was struck by this but also encouraged by the prospect of finding an almost new Viper for a non so new price...

    Borla Exhaust

    Although constructed of high quality materials and providing a major improvement in exhaust tone, this kind of quality oversight is not uncommon at Borla. I had a very similar experience on my ZR-1. Borla sent a replacement system but it was no different. I wound up on the garage floor with...

    For all of us who WILL be driving through the winter....

    1) Change the engine oil from 15-50 to 10-30. 2) Change the coolant, axle and trans fluids. 3) Set the Koni's shocks to the softest settings (if applicable). 4) Be sensitive to reduced traction at lower temperatures. 5) Drive the Viper as often as possible!

    Went from 2nd to 1st..

    Hey Kevin: I did the 3 to 2 upshift thing a few times and while I though for sure something had to be screwed up, everything was fine. Since installing a short throw shifter, it's only happened once. I am mis-shift free for quite a while now. It does scare the daylights out of you though...

    Roe Racing Engine Calibrator? Quantify the performance gain across the power band?

    Can 10 to 20 rwhp actually be realized by this device? What are the downsides? Is it reliable? Is it a cost effective power adder? Thanks .....

    SVSi short throw shifter. Anyone remove the stops? Results?

    The rear shifter stop hits the trans tunnel on a solid 1-2 shift and it sounds as if the trans is about to come through the floor. SVSi indicated that it is OK to eliminate the stops. Has anyone done this? What was the result? Does the OEM shifter have stops? Thanks .....

    Got Wheel Hop ?

    As far as I am aware, they all hop. I wonder if a firmer shock setting wouldn't offset the condition? I have an ACR with Koni adjustable shocks.

    NY/NJ members (or anyone nearby)...Mario Andretti coming to promote Wine here

    To be in the company of a great motorsports legend would be a thrill and an honor. To get a photo with Mario next to my car would be incredible. I'm in regardless. John/Sean you guys up for the trip?

    Discouraging ACR Harness Update

    What's up with DC? This isn't exactly rocket science! The announcement last spring clearly stated that the belts should no longer be used. So if you wanted to track the car, you basically had to pony up the cash for non-oem belts or risk using the original oem set. I choose the later and...
