    2000 ACR brakes grabbing at 5000 miles

    I noticed a grabbing noise as I come to a stop in the ACR the other day. It did it a few times. It's that same sound and feeling you get when you're metal on metal. Thing is, I've only got 5000 miles on the car and you can see there is plenty of pad. Rotors don't seem to be scared. The Viper did...

    2003 Viper - Chrysler or Dodge

    Will the 2003 Viper officially become a Chrysler or remain a Dodge. When I watch Speedvision they usually refer to the Viper as a Chrysler Viper when showing the car positions in a race. Jeff

I launched with lots of rpms and had a bad 60' (Proved once again that bogging is better). I did get one heck of an r/t as...
