Lookin` good Gary...I've also got a Sapphire/Silver which I picked up about a month ago, I was wondering whether you also are having problems with swirl marks?

And if so, how are you dealing with them?

Speaking from personal experience on my 2001 GTS (12,600 miles so far): The engine will feel a lot freer at 2000 miles than at 1000, and freer at 4,000 than at 2,000, etc. Having put 42,000 on a 97 GTS, I strongly believe that the Viper engine doesn't reach its full potential until 15,000 or 20,000 miles.

Thanks Ron, after doing another 300 plus miles today, it feels even more better(1400 miles).

Swirlmarks, eeeegad, horrific, going to remove the marks and then Zaino my but off. the problem with Zaino it only fills the scratches, you need to remove them slowly and careful. My detail guy is coming over this week and we are going to tackle the problem best we can.

Details later.
