    Dodge still selling KONI shocks for performance

    In other news tonight, it appears that Dodge is still selling the famous RATTLING Koni shock on its performance page. I assume THESE ones don't rattle. http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_parts_product_part.jsp?categoryID=10026&itemID=771 So why, then, for those that rattle, isn't dodge replacing???

    So what happens if I put all these mopar performance parts on my car?

    Okay, I know, stupid question, but I'm gonna ask it anyhow. http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_parts_product.jsp?categoryID=10026 Will I still be smog legal? How much horsepower will I have? Who has most of this stuff in their motor?

    Oil change problem

    Another quality job performed by your local dodge dealer. Why am I not surprised? More advice--Buy a shop manual, do your own work. The Viper is the worlds most wonderful car to work on.

    Z06 against SRT 10

    Comfort-wise, the viper is right there between a roller-coaster and a 2 1/2 ton dump truck. I will say, though, that the laptop man has owned practically every car and says the lambo is more uncomfortable than them all.

    02 ACR -v- 911 GT2 SPANKED in Sports Car International

    I have to agree with the article. I don't think the 99 ACR is a great track car "out of the box". I still haven't found a suspension setting that doesn't feel light in the rearend--squirelly, as they said. The car is skiddish in the turns. The brakes are vague--soft, and the car doesn't...

    Changed all plugs today.

    If anyone can demonstrate a performance increase with JUST going to splitfires without indexing or changing anything else, gap .038, I will lovingly perform you next plug change FOR you, and buy all the plugs. Hell, I'll even change your oil and buy THAT for you.

    Changed all plugs today.

    I used Autolite cheapos. I can guarantee the performance is the same as splitfires. (search the group for splitfire to find out more)

    Why my ACR shocks do NOT rattle.

    My ACR shocks ARE Konis! Sorry for the mis-information. I looked at them this morning during my spark plug change. So I'm back to not knowing why I don't rattle.
