    '01 ABS MELT DOWN

    Re: \'01 ABS MELT DOWN Supposedly, the point of leaving the foglamps off the ACRs was two-fold, reduce weight and leave the option for a duct kit to the brakes using the foglamp holes. Has anyone actually done this? SnakeOyl sells these neat little screens that replace the foglamps and keep...

    ACR seat/ Anti-submarine harness

    Well, it depends on the size of your crotch! Sorry, couldn't help myself. You have a valid point. I find the anti-sub belt does help to keep the harness held low on your gut and really allow you to crank down on the over-the-shoulder belts. And like Bruce said, 6" is better than the footwell...

    In car camera mount?

    Does anybody know if Dean Word still makes the camera mount? I emailed him at [email protected] and didn't hear anything back. I want in-car footage of my progress this year, and to send to my dad who is back on the right coast. Thanks! - Mark ('99 ACR)

    Track Event with Tracquest- Buttonwillow Raceway

    I'm going to Thunderhill on the 27th, and I believe Will Archie is too (warchie). A friend of mine in his Supra Turbo is coming along for the fun. At the last ViperDays at Thunderhill there was a new Porsche 01 Turbo. To be fair, it looked like the driver was inexperienced, but the Vipers ate...

    Is the ACR worth the Money?

    Everyone has some great points. There was a loooooong thread on this a while back, look through the archives, but it comes down to what you plan to do with the car I think. If you're a true race head, you'll probably take an approach like David's, which is better for the reasons he pointed out...

    Porsche vs Viper

    You should pick up last months Motor Trend. They did a shootout with a bunch of cars, including the new 911TT and an ACR (finally!). The thing that surprised the hell out of me was slolemn. I expected the awd Porsche to kickass but it didn't, the ACR beat it. I still like both cars, but I LOVE...

    Buying a new Viper out of state in CALIFORNIA...TAXES,etc..need help?

    I just did this so I'll throw in my $.02. I bought a '99 from Woodhouse and everything went smooth as butta'. When you go to DMV to register they will ask how much you paid for the car, it will actually be on the form itself to fill in. What I have yet to have happen is for DMV to ask for any...

    Who has done Bobby Archer or Sean Roe's revalved Koni/spring Upgrade?

    Re: Who has done Bobby Archer or Sean Roe\'s revalved Koni/spring Upgrade? So, as an ACR owner, how do my Koni coil-overs compare with what everyone has mentioned so far? I'd guess that they fall somewhere between a stock GTS and the tuned packages. Thx!

    Durango Mods

    Ok, first off, as was mentioned, go visit http://www.durangoclub.com. I have a 2K SLT+, 4WD, 3.92 Rear, etc. Your first mod should be the airbox, its really restrictive on the D. Instead of just plain K&Ns, I went with the Stage 3 intake from Intense Performance...
