    PICS HERE! What car company builds a show car....Part II

    I have to say that I appreciate the increased attention to details we see here. The engine compartment also looks much cleaner than I expected it to. Thanks a ton, for the pix, Joseph. Saving every one!

    SRT/10 Pac-NW VCA event. Driving / Riding Impressions. VERY LONG.

    And you didn't think you were going to get to drive it!!! Congrats, Jon-- sounds like it is really going to rock the world, performance-wise. Can you give us a take on the engine through the open hood? How tough does it look to get to the plugs, for example? How will maintainability be?

    Hot Summer Nights

    The Danville event was very memorable for me...I'd never been in a group like that at a car show. I was really surprised at how much attention the vipers got from the people walking by, especially as the night wore on. In all the excitement, I only took one picture--that of Tanya, my daughter...

    VOI Display and Today's (final) Supercharger Test

    Re: VOI Display and Today\'s (final) Supercharger Test I have a question. How do you get 600 RWHP on the stock fuel pump? Stock pump must produce MUCH more pressure than necessary. Shouldn't an upgrade of the stock pump be in order anyhow for special driving conditions? (very cold days, up...

    Hmmmmm.....

    Oh man...that is shocking... Those appear to be the EXACT lines the SRT is using.... So, wait--we've been saying it's a japanese design--I guess we were wrong all along! It's a limey car! Wow...I give up. Even this car did the facsia better than the SRT. Sigh...I guess the SRT is ugly...

    Should I buy this 99 ACR???

    I agree that that is in the "too good to be true" zone, and would jump on it if all is okay. If you have to replace the hood...now that is another story all together...ouch--suddenly the fantastic deal becomes a bit of a dog. I love my 99 ACR, but I've never driven a GTS, so I have nothing to...

    Recall results with pictures: Dublin Dodge

    Hi guys-- Nah, my brother was a welder for a few years, and though there might be some bead-spray around the joints (that's what makes the snaps look worse than real life), the joints are solid, and really well done. The welds are every bit as good as the factory welds nearby, so perhaps I...

    Recall results with pictures: Dublin Dodge

    Hi all-- Thanks for the replies-- Chuck: John, my tech just got off the phone. (he spotted your reply before I did--that's how much he cares) He wants to make sure he did this right... He just called after rereading the recall 65 times. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page...

    Recall results with pictures: Dublin Dodge

    I have my car back after a laundry list of items I brought it in for, and I could scarcly be happier with how they treated me at Dublin. (thanks Keith and John!) These snaps do NOT do justice to John's work. He is a perfectionist who does the job right no matter how long it takes. I have no...

    Replacing 1 shock. Should I be concerned?

    I just got of the phone with Gordon from Koni America. He told me that 20K miles is not enough difference to worry about--he wouldn't worry about it.

    Replacing 1 shock. Should I be concerned?

    Hi all-- So one of the things my ACR is in the shop for is rebound adjusters on the front not turning. John my viper tech verified the one on the left is bound and won't move. Actually he broke a tool off in it! He somehow got the right one to turn, though, to the point where, with some...

    Clay bar problems HELP

    Here's what I found-- It's really a technique, and you get used to it. Stretch the clay back and make a smooth tight clean surface. Use the same detailer they gave you in the bottle. Dont press the bar hard till you KNOW it isn't going to stick. Then you can go as hard as you want. If you...

    Noisy Viper & Laguna Seca, can I run???

    Ron-- There was just a thread about noise a few days ago..Grab it. One of the guys on it said that what he does is just get off the throttle as he passes sound check. He was also very skeptical that the viper in question would fail, as his normal race car never does.

    13 second 0/100/0 times will beat just about every car on the planet, on this or the other side of the Atlantic. If they hit 13.0x, Viper is going to drop quite a few jaws, especially Italian ones.

    Viper vs. motorcycles.

    I would say that the most excitement I get driving around the bay area is when I come upon a sportbike who wants to race around on the freeway. For those of you who've never tried it, I highly recommend it! Your car will likely surprise you... Case in point: recently, I met a CBR929RR riding...
