    0-100-0 in 12.17 seconds and no one is talking about it?

    I came to the forum today after reading the MT shootout. I expected to see what I didn't see in MT--awestruck wonder about how the 0-100-0 record has been shattered--even the mythical records alleged (but never proven) about the 427 Cobra have been shattered! You guys may not be talking about...

    SRT vs. GT-2

    When are we going to find out if the SRT-10 can best the Porsche GT-2 on the track? I know PMUM (Paul Mumford, ACR privateer) has a GT-2, so all someone has to do is lend him their SRT, and we can put that one to bed. :) Can we all agree that if the SRT beats the GT-2 that it will have made...

    LAST CHANCE: Anyone in NorCal who still needs the frame recall work done

    This just in: The brilliant Viper-Tech and recall artist extrodinaire, John Cisek, of Dublin Dodge is going to be ta :D king his welder home within a month. John has MANY well-done recalls under his belt, including every viper guy in this area that I know. All have come away happy. But this...

    Motor Trend: Mini Cooper Beats SRT in slalom

    In the Car Of The Year issue, the Mini Cooper S went almost 2MPH faster through the cones than the SRT-10. I don't know who should be embarrased--the Motor Trend drivers or PVO. Braking--SRT = 104 ft. Fantastic, but not the 90 feet whispered about. G35= 112 ft. Just one foot more than a...

    First time at the strip

    Here's my best from this weekend. I'm such a newb. Very inconsistent with the wheelspin, but one launch was fairly good. I'm 100% bone stock 99 ACR with Pilot Sports, 20psi. If I can do a 12.1@117, anyone can. Elevens someday? I can only dream. Most of my runs were actually 12.4@116

    I AM ABOUT TO THROW UP.

    I just read the Automobile Magazine head-to-head SRT vs. Z06. In it they make the following claims: SRT trap speed: 120 Z06 trap speed: 114 0-60 srt: 4.1? 0-60 zog: 4.6 (or thereabouts, I don't remember) Brakes on SRT: BETTER Handling on SRT: Sticks better. And these fine author/drivers...

    Still waiting for some actual performance numbers.

    How long must we WAIT??? Doesn't ANYONE here know ANYTHING?? So you're telling me we have NO insiders on the VCA club board? Would it hurt so much to spill some beans? It's very frustrating that I pay a hundred bucks a year to be a VCA club member and support the VCA worldwide, yet I get...

    Am I the only one who has terrible skipping with the Alpine CD?

    Okay, had my CD player replaced under warranty a month ago. It still skips on nearly new CDs! What is going on here! I did a search, and apparently I'm the only one this is happening to! My dedicated and helpful Dodge service crew lead by Viper-master John, is going to swap it out AGAIN and...

    Recall results with pictures: Dublin Dodge

    I have my car back after a laundry list of items I brought it in for, and I could scarcly be happier with how they treated me at Dublin. (thanks Keith and John!) These snaps do NOT do justice to John's work. He is a perfectionist who does the job right no matter how long it takes. I have no...

    Replacing 1 shock. Should I be concerned?

    Hi all-- So one of the things my ACR is in the shop for is rebound adjusters on the front not turning. John my viper tech verified the one on the left is bound and won't move. Actually he broke a tool off in it! He somehow got the right one to turn, though, to the point where, with some...

    Viper vs. motorcycles.

    I would say that the most excitement I get driving around the bay area is when I come upon a sportbike who wants to race around on the freeway. For those of you who've never tried it, I highly recommend it! Your car will likely surprise you... Case in point: recently, I met a CBR929RR riding...

    Update me: Survey--Who has the most miles on their viper?

    I'm sure this has been done before, but that was then. Time for a new survey on the miles you guys are putting on your rides. Mine is getting "up there" at 20,000 miles. Over the hill for a viper, really. I put 20K miles on my other cars in a heartbeat! It made me start to wonder, is...

    ACR Up for sale, seeking SRT as next car.

    Wow, this has really been a tough call for me. I love the ACR, but I'm after the new looks and upgraded performance of the SRT.

    UPDATE:Door button panel rubbing on GTS. How to adjust?

    Thank you Dixter for that fine explanation. I'll take a VERY close look at full door adjustment later today. You didn't mention the stantion panel, though. Is it adjustable or not, as far as you know?

    What does Maximum Care Warranty Cover?

    Bob-- Nope. No trim, no wear items (clutch, brake pads). But it's pretty good anyhow--it actually covers the stereo, which surprised me. Covers pretty much everything else, too. I think it's a fine warranty.

    Dodge still selling KONI shocks for performance

    In other news tonight, it appears that Dodge is still selling the famous RATTLING Koni shock on its performance page. I assume THESE ones don't rattle. http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_parts_product_part.jsp?categoryID=10026&itemID=771 So why, then, for those that rattle, isn't dodge replacing???

    So what happens if I put all these mopar performance parts on my car?

    Okay, I know, stupid question, but I'm gonna ask it anyhow. http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_parts_product.jsp?categoryID=10026 Will I still be smog legal? How much horsepower will I have? Who has most of this stuff in their motor?
