    testing at the track with stock rollbar hoops

    Clark your assessment could be 100% correct. No argument here. There were probably a variety of reasons why DC didn't install a rollbar. I know alot of the guys on this site pleaded with DC to build the coupe version along with the convertible, because they wanted to track their cars. The answer...

    testing at the track with stock rollbar hoops

    My only disappointment in the SRT is that DC did not engineer a functional rollbar into the car. It makes my job as IL VCA performance driving director more complicated. The party line for not having a real rollbar is that there are legal liabilties that have to be considered in case of failure...

    testing at the track with stock rollbar hoops

    The roll hoops are NOT roll bars. They are made out of aluminum and are bolted into brackets which are maybe 3 inches tall and these brackets are bolted into the upper frame rail. Archer Racing and Autoform are manufacturing a roll bar for the SRT. Autoform is designing their roll bar to SCCA...

    Side mirror puncture marks

    My passenger side mirror has about a 1/8 to 1/4 inch noticeable crack on the mirror support where it makes contact with the door. Looks like it was overly tightened. I notified my dealer.

    Viper Days question

    Wild Bill there are two ways to accomplish your goal. I'm pretty sure this is the way Courtney works it at Viper Days. As Chuck says definitely give call her a call to make sure nothing has changed. Option #1- Pay for one driver, share the car, share the instructor, and share the time in each...

    SRT owners who traded their GTS...

    For me, the rush of a new car normally wears off in about 3-6 months. My father was a car dealer so I've had a lot of cars. I've had my GTS 4 years and I still get excited driving that car. I just couldn't trade it in on the SRT. My SRT is almost 2 weeks old and I driven it about 350 miles...

    Any Progress On a Hardtop?

    Black Venom I haven't seen the alteration in person, but Jerry didn't make it sound like it was anything drastic. Now the rollbar will probably require some cutting. Maybe the guys at Autoform could post some pics. Jerry, Steve would that be possible?

    Any Progress On a Hardtop?

    I spoke to Jerry at Autoform friday and they are about 30-45 days away from producing SRT-10 hardtops. They will also have a rollbar available. Like Viper Days, the Illinois VCA will require SRT-10's to have either a roll bar or hardtop at our Gingerman Racetrack events. The hardtops will come...

    Illinois Region sadly loses great competitor

    It was with great sadness that we found out yesterday that Bill Braun passed away after a long battle with cancer. Bill's indomitable spirit refused to let the disease prevent him from doing the thing he loved so much, race Vipers. Bill drove in every event we had this past year, attended...

    If Viper didn't exist, then I'd have a Lingenfelter 650HP twin turbo Z06.

    2003 Detroit autoshow

    The Illinois VCA was again going to tour CAAP and ASC on Jan 10th. Being the point guy on setting up the CAAP tour I received the call about the cancellation. DC cancelled all tours at all DC plants, which included CAAP. A security threat at one of DC's North American plants prompted the...
