    Who in Nor Cal just took delivery of a SRT-10??

If I were to guess by the exit, it looked like it was going to a Petaluma dealership. I caught up to the truck, but couldn't get enough of a look to really critique the styling...

    Thank you Apex Motorsports!

    For those of you who live outside of the Nor Cal region, Apex Motorsports in Santa Clara, CA was gracious enough to host a Dyno Day for the Viper community on 9/23.

    No Cream.... No Puff....... Just LOTS of HP!!

    What's with all this cream puff stuff? I just dynoed my '00 GTS yesterday at Apex Motorsports and achieved 419.8 HP and 450.3 Torque. Only mods are K&N filter and smooth tubes. Personally, I think those are pretty respectable numbers. I will, however, admit that things in my engine seemed to...

    Why does the Viper site always have a "pause" as it goes to the new server?

    Why does the Viper site always have a \"pause\" as it goes to the new server? I thought this was a temporary thing. It's slightly annoying to have to wait to be routed to the new server. Is this permanemt? -Will

    Should I leave the car running?

    To keep the yellowing side sills down to a minimum (I have already had them replaced once under warranty), I let my fan complete it's cooling before killing the engine. In my opinion, most of the sidesill damage is done AFTER you shut down the engine (due to the large amount of heat built up in...
