    Refreshed 2015 Viper?

    The Challenger SRT is its own segment. No one else makes a honking NA HEMI with the interior/trunk volume, mass, and great looks it has.

    2014 Corvette

    I read the R&T feature article on it last night and was impressed with the car's description. You have to credit GM for trying to evoke desire from drivers who still have hair that is not gray, and at a reasonable price point (H-D should take note). I wouldn't criticize it too much because you...

    Tires and aging

    I've seen tires advertised as 'new' with even manufacturer stickers still on the tread. In one instance I asked for the DOT date codes and the tires were 5 years old. Always confirm 'newness' with date codes!

    Clutch squeak

    Mine did the same thing till I shot some spray lube on the bearing pivots in the pedal linkage. Squeak long gone . . . .

    Long drives in a Viper

    The most uncomfortable aspect of long Viper drives are the admirers pacing alongside long enough to shoot a pic with their cellphone . . . . . it can be distracting.

    Hmmmm, words from Ralph

    And some more words from Ralph during his visit to Florida at the end of December 2012 . . . . the first vid he talks about the seats, the second the Car and Driver editor sessions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMyQWQ-i82c&list=FLGK1bd9YaKg27Escq82Lw5g&feature=mh_lolz...

    Luisv--Thanks for taking the time to document this work . . . I certainly appreciate it! Is the outcome what you expected (or better/worse) and worth it for your driving habits?

    Non horsepower upgrades that can help your viper experiance

    OK Thanks. Guess the single OEM clamp doesn't grip well enough? I haven't had any issues so far.

    GEN V pics!

    The D-shaped steering wheel is nearly identical to the SRT 392 Challenger's except it's missing the shiny bling cover on the flat part.

    Ralph's twitter

    For the scant few minutes I sat in the seat it felt Sabelt-fine! But as you know it'll take miles in them to know for sure. Ralph hated the seat in the Viper as he drove from Detroit to Florida and had it swapped out at local dealer with the correct one.

    Ralph's twitter

    Last Friday 28DEC12 Ralph attended our SoFL VCA event in Boca Raton with his Viper driven from Detroit. Below is a pic of me (red shirt) trying out that new seat Ralph raves about now. Ralph also signed the spec books for us. After meeting with us, Ralph headed to Key West and then on a...

    How accurate is your fuel gauge?

    Not me . . . I'm averaging better than that since I putt around like an old lady most days . . . . I'll leave the single digit economizing to the Viper masters.

    How accurate is your fuel gauge?

    Let your trip odometer be your gauge assuming worst-case MPG . . . that works out to a refuel interval of not more than 222 miles [12 MPG * 18.5 gal].

    Question on how to flush coolant on a 96 GTS

    Follow this man's advice. Been there myself and it works as described. Be sure to drain the overflow tank too by sucking it out through the hose connected to the radiator cap and refill through the same hose. A MityVac works great here.

    Charging Battery via engine bay issues

    An alternative would be to plug in through a lighter socket pigtail, which is what I do every time I pull in to the garage.
