    Shifting too early-

    Because the peak power is at 5600, because of what Viper X said and because it takes a bit to execute the shift, I usually begin the shift about 50 to 100 RPM below the 5600 RPM point.

    Plans for a completely new design

    I suspect the new management realizes that they need a halo car to promote the company. Given that, it seems the Viper should be moving more towards the lime light. As far as continuing the Viper - they have too much non-recurring engineering money spent on the 8.4 and other changes to the '08...

    new viper owner, my hood is dented.. how's that possible?

    My understanding is that the best body panels are chosen for the black Vipers when built...I've heard this from several different sources but never from someone at CAAP, so take it for what it's worth. Anyway, if that's accurate, there's no way your car was built with such a flaw in the hood...

    Smog check

    Dave, I sent David a PM the day he posted up. I didn't want to get any smog check place here in NV any undue heat so I kept it off the forums.

    Looked at a Black '06 Coupe yesterday...

    Exactly right. I paid $66.5k for my slate/silver '06 coupe with 206 miles on it. There are good deals out there, you just need to do your research.

    Have you ruled out the west side (e.g.: Summerlin)?

    Gen 3 throttle body

    Is there any chance of doing a group buy? Also, do you know what sort of gains might be expected with install of your throttle body plus a DC Performance PCM reflash?

    Gen 3 throttle body

    It sounds like your throttle body is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock unit with no other mods whatsoever to the car. Is that correct?

    Roll Call: Who's going to Hearst Castle in October?

    Lance - we mailed the form and check yesterday and booked the hotel the evening before. For cheapskates like us, know that the hotel is out of non-view rooms so we took a partial view room. We can't leave here until noon on Saturday so we'll have to catch up with you guys Saturday night.

    Roll Call: Who's going to Hearst Castle in October?

    Here's a tip - play blackjack instead (assuming you at least know basic strategy). Make sure to play a table where they haven't diluted the blackjack payout to 1:1, though. Also, if you know perfect FP deuces or double bonus video poker strategy, there are still a few 100% machines to be found...

    Bang for the buck: green filters or K&N?

    Thanks for all the comments - sounds like the greens on the stocker box is the way to go. Art - I see neither of us won that Diamondback, eh?

    Ran with a SRT4

    We've owned two SRT-4s (sold the first one to my son when he came back from Iraq) and they are great little cars for the money. Even if left stock, it's a pretty quick car. My only gripes are the two extra doors and the wing. My wife daily drives the SRT-4 we have now and hops in one of the...

    Bang for the buck: green filters or K&N?

    juli - K&N is claiming 14HP, but it seems like the stock set up is pretty efficient. It sounds like your experience agrees that the stock set up is decent. What are you guys running on your car now?

    pics of 2006 slate gray with silver stripes?

    Bang for the buck: green filters or K&N?

    Just like the title says, what's the best bang for the buck in terms of performance: 1) Green filters on the stock air box 2) K&N air box 3) Green filters on a K&N air box?

    Mopar race exhaust - anyone using it?

    Robbie - definitely post photos when you get the prototytpe done. My GTS with no cats tends to varnish the stripes but the exhaust at the point of exit is not hot enough to scorch anything. I guess the SRT-10's shorter exhaust path and closer proximity of bodywork to the exhaust tips would...

    Mopar race exhaust - anyone using it?

    Thanks for the feedback on the heat. Sounds like the improvement in sill heat was much like removing the cats from my GTS. How do the polished tips look with the Mopar set-up?

    Performance intake+air filters

    What's the cost of that set up? What gains can be expected by just putting the greens on the stock set up?

    BTW: How's the heat reduction in the car and on the sills with this exhaust?

    Important news for 2008 orders

    Chris - are you saying it won't be for '08? The reason I ask is that the www.drivesrt.com web site shows red stripes as an option on a black '08.
