    Motive Pressure Bleeder or Speed Bleeders?

    I have both and prefer the speed bleeders. I guess it's just a personal thing, but I just feel better pushing the brakes to get all of the air out. With the Motive, I just didn't "trust" that I got all of the air out. Plus, I didn't feel like the Motive was working right unless it had more...

    VCA SRT Press Release

    Did the COOL program get canceled like I've heard? That will probably hurt the membership numbers if it did. Also, does the "number of members" include website members (active, inactive, suspended, etc), or it that the number of acutal, paid VCA memberships at the time?

    Gen 3-4 Sub box

    You're right, but in the Viper (Gen III / IV vert anyway), the isn't enough depth to go with a speaker with much excursion. The 8W3 took some work to get in there. Also with the fuel tank between the cabin and the trunk, it's not like venting a normal trunk into a cabin. I know some guys...

    Nitto Invo's or NT05's

    If you only drive 1k/year, you're most likely going to run out of time before you run out of tread. Try looking into Pilot Sport Cups.

    Gen 3-4 Sub box

    I built one very similar a couple of years ago and used the same speaker. While it certainly sounded better than the stock POS, I still wanted a better sound, so I went back to the drawing board when I had the car apart installing my roll bar. I changed some stuff around and ended up squeezing...

    Advice: 06 Gen 3 With headers, Magnaflow, no cats... Anyone add Resonators?

    I'm running M&M headers, no cats and the Mopar Race exhaust and don't have any kind "rattle". Are you sure there isn't something actually rattling or touching somewhere with the exhaust system? With as much as these systems expand with heat, it might only be loose/touching when cold, and then...

    NARRA...Road Atlanta...April 12-14, 2013

    OK. I got some of my additional questions answered from Kim this evening. You do NOT need an aftermarket roll bar to run verts in the HPDE groups. They don't like to advertise this because it's obviously safer to have one, but you do not have to. You DO have to run with the top up. No big...

    ACR at COTA (video)

    There can't be that many ACR's out there with dual stripes.

    Not sure if I can say he swooped in. I have no idea what the OP was talking about.

    gen3 stripe question

    I did vinyl on my Gen III to make sure I liked the color, but never bothered to paint them because they look fine as-is. If I ever get a Gen IV hood, then I'll paint them on the rest of the car because trying to get the vinyl to go through the IV hood vents might be an issue. Anybody with a...

    A Day At Road Atlanta

    Ha! While its a great price for what it is, it's WAY beyond my track toy budget. My new Thunder Roadster just got finished and I'll be picking it up this weekend. You could GIVE me the ACRX and I'd still come out cheaper after a full year with the TR. lol. And that doesn't include hitting...

    A Day At Road Atlanta

    Man that's an AWESOME video! I can't wait to get things started again for 2013. Now, if only I could afford an ACR-X (or even an ACR). ;)

    Ralph hints at Pirelli Trofeos for Viper?

    I think we've known these were coming. The problem is the pricing. OMG!!! I'll take Sport Cups, thank you.

    Factory supercharged V-10 in development?

    The "bolt-on" part or a turbo or supercharger application for the Gen IV is easy, and there would be just as many boosted Gen IV's running around as there are Gen III's. The problem is the computer software, not the hardware.

    2013 SRT Viper tire info

    Luke, can you confirm the actual measured width on the 355 Pirelli and the 345 SS, Cup are basically identical? No way in hell I would pay those prices for an inferior tire. Just pick from anything that's already available for the Gen III/IV.

    Yeah, look what it's done for me. lol I've hit a wall, blown a tranny, and now bought a race car. Damn, it's worse than any drug out there!! :)

    NARRA...Road Atlanta...April 12-14, 2013

    For their normal HPDE, you should be fine with just having a helmet, long pants and shirt. You're supposed to have a real roll bar and SA rated helmet (auto racing). However, for the beginner group, they will probably let you get by with a M (motorcycle) rated helmet and without the real roll...

    NARRA...Road Atlanta...April 12-14, 2013

    Sounds good Tree! I definitely hope you can make the Atl date with NARRA. I'll definitely be hitting more tracks this year and I'm sure I'll see you at some, but this is the only event I'm planning on bringing the Viper to.

    NARRA...Road Atlanta...April 12-14, 2013

    Just putting reminder out there to "save the date" for this event. We had a decent turn out last year with Vipers from GA and many other states as well, but not a lot of actual participants. If we can get some more people to register and drive this year, we should be able to get some pretty...

    Obx headers on eBay

    I talked back and forth with an OBX supplier for a few weeks when I was shopping for headers. I was trying to get them for basically nothing to be their step into the Viper world because nobody had used them (at least that would say). I couldn't get them to move very much on price, but what...

    Paint matched calipers on 08 B&W

    Mine were pretty bad when I decided to re-do them, so I stripped all the old stuff of. Use TAL Airplane stripper. Be careful though, use it in a well ventilated area and don't get it on anything else. Especially yourself. It burns like all hell!

    First poor sales transaction on the forums.

    Re: First poor sales transaction on the forums. 08viperviolet Considering he's been online (and is currently on), it tells a lot that he hasn't chimed in at all to tell his side of the story. Not sure how much there is to tell, based on how he responded to the OP's PMs, but if it were me...

    Anybody Needs Factory 2002 GTS Headers or should i junk them?

    I'll just have to look and see if I find a way to rearrange things and fit it all on the wall. Between jacks, cabinets, tire rack, parts already hung, etc, I don't think I can fit an extra "car" up on the wall anywhere. :)

    $3000 to spend... What aftermarket wheels to buy :)

    I can't remember exactly which thread it's in, but there are some new ones out there for under $2k that look pretty damn good. If I hadn't already dedicated my old stockers to track wheels, I would have snagged the new offerings. Just do a search. Honestly, I think what you have on there...
