    1997 GTS NEW 3.2L Roe Supercharger Dyno Results

    Do what Plum suggested. I had an 8 pound Roe system on my former 1999 GTS. The calibration is crucial. You do not want to be running too lean. Do you know your current A/F ratio after the corrective changes? I suggest you get a new dyno run and post the graph. Make sure that you state the type...

    The CAAP party

    Historian's choice. 20 years from now, there may not be any records showing the date other than what is on the sticker on the door. Some door stickers, as you know, are not accurate because the car was produced out of sequence after the door sticker had already been printed.

    The CAAP party

    I was there yesterday. I was told the couple from Texas got the last VIN number. The car was produced out of the normal order and picked up before the event. There were a few cars still on the line and a few completed cars. That was it. All the parts bins were basically empty; the Viper Store...

    Was that your garage at the end with all of your vehicles? If so, congratulations on your stable. Well done!

    You Can't Order a New Dodge Viper Anymore by Road and Track

    Thank you for your post Bill. It still brings a feeling of sadness. The beginning of the end has started. It is like watching an old friend waste away with a fatal illness. Those of us who have been, and will be, fortunate enough to own and experience the Viper should be thankful that we had the...

    Viper ACR: Crowdfunding for Nurburgring Record

    Hi Bob. They were simple questions. I just wanted to make sure the cars would be considered stock. They will be considered stock. That is why I made the $500.00 contribution. It is a worthy cause. It will probably be the last time a true American current year OEM supercar with a six speed manual...

    That Old Feeling

    Great post Broom. And so true. Back in the year 2000, I had open heart surgery ( yes, lawyers do have a heart and it was a one time repair job not a heart attack). The first thing I did when I got home, against medical advice and instructions, was grab the keys to my then 1999 GTS and take a...

    Viper ACR: Crowdfunding for Nurburgring Record

    Russ Oasis, who is a dedicated Viper fanatic and heavily involved in NARRA, is a very important asset to the Viper Nation. He is the one that set up the Crowd Funding Page. I know Russ and respect him. I wish he and all of those involved the best of luck and I am considering making a...

    Many Thanks to VCA

    He did at first but after I told him I was part of the earth based office that provides data to help determine assignments in heaven to you know who and described some of the possible alternatives and what they are based on, he suddenly became very charming. LQ.

    Many Thanks to VCA

    Sorry for your loss. Your Dad contacted me after he passed and asked me to pass on a request to you. It was cryptic. He said: "Keep em all healthy and down there." He said that you would know what he meant. Best, Bob

    It depends on the power distribution over the curve and your diff and tranny gearing.

    Viper Club of America President's Letter

    Thank you Dave. You and the other club members and those who are no longer members who indirectly benefited from the end of the exam are very welcome. The VCA has a long history as an organization and has accomplished much over the more than twenty years of its existence. The extensive data...

    Viper Club of America President's Letter

    Thank you for the thank you Bill. It was a privilege to help and it always feels good to do pro bono work. As we say down here in South Florida, Felice Anno Nuevo!!

    sooo... if 500 HP is not enough...

    The stock Paxton Kit installed with Dan Cragin's calibration on the controller ( Dan's calibration, among other things allows road course track days without the stock program dumping fuel to cool the cats which causes the car to misbehave) is very reliable. I had it on my former Gen III from...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    Here is the link to the 2014 Form 990 of the other club for those who wish to indulge in the winter nerdly activity of reviewing it like me. http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2014/463/888/2014-463888612-0b85c157-9O.pdf Guidestar does not show that a 2015 Form 990 was filed. As Jeff stated...

    96 gts #7. rare? whats it worth?

    Another idea. It seems to me that a James Bond movie fan might want to purchase this car. There must be a website for them.

    Looking at buying a Viper

    Check all of the following: 1. Rubber door weather seals. 2. Door hinges. Common problem. They sag over time. A pain in the rear end to shim properly but an experienced Viper tech or body shop can do it quickly. Engines for 1999 and before are stronger. They have better pistons and 1999 is...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    I checked on the filing. I have been informed that the Form 990 for the fiscal year ending 3/31/2016 was filed in early November within a due date that had been properly extended. It had been extended pending the outcome of the examination which could have affected what needed, or did not need...

    Membership renewed after a lapse & now looking for shop recommendations

    The work that you describe above is not complex. It is also two different types of work. The wrap is more of an art form. The rear end gear change and short throw shifter are paint by the numbers. Assuming that your car is off any extended warranty, call the Dodge SRT help line and see who they...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    The YE effects the due date of the Form 990 or the 990N, as applicable ( I have no idea of the numbers for the year that ended 3/31 so I do not know what form would apply) and the date to which it can be extended. The 990 is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the entity's...

    I have no problem with his post. He was right. I was sloppy with my initial post. Having just helped deal with the IRS exam of the VCA Forms 990 for a number of years on a pro bono basis, I should have given more time to the post. I taught Federal Tax Litigation and Procedure at a law school for...

    2017 VCA Membership Packages

    Thanks for the observation. It is named a "Return". It's specific name is: "Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax". In layman's parlance it is quite different from what most people think of as a return - like a Form 1040, 1120 or a 1041. I should have been more precise above so I edited...
