    Is there a "Sub-Club" of Track Rats?

    Once upon a time I was tracking at Laguna Seca and heard about a sub-group of Viper track rats. I seem to recall the group being based in SoCal and called the sidewinders. I would like to participate in that sort of group. Does such a group exist? If so, how do I make contact?

    Am I the only one angry with SRT for pulling out of Le Mans?

    I believe you can't be considered a serious sportscar without a serious effort to win the world's biggest sportscar race. Le Mans should have been budgeted first, and maybe next year's effort as well, before any other races. Massively disappointed in SRT for this decision.

    Comments on living with a 4 Post lift?

    This is not a "Which one should I buy?" or "Will it fit?" thread. We have a zillion of those, and I have read them all. I am planning on purchasing a lift and can't decide between a 4 post and a single post. From a purely practical standpoint, the 4 post would seem to be a no-brainer; it's...

    Zero shift

    Does anybody know if Zero Shift ever installed their mechanism in a Viper? I recall someone from the company posting here and stating they were going to use Nadine's car for R&D.

    Porsche Air Deflectors

    How do you mount your Porsche air deflectors? I have been mounting mine using the IPS (Dilusi) brackets like in the illustrated upgrades, however, I have been running the deflectors upside down of that shown in the illustrated upgrade.

    Hey SRT, Have you seen the latest C/D Online Poll?

    UBB17-ML-497560-ML- Looks like this is another thread for the Z06, better rehashed with vigor in the Snake Pit Grill.

    Coupe HP Solution?

    What if the coupe was sold with a Paxton kit in the trunk, as a dealer installed option? Would that appease the HP freaks? Dodge would likely experience some small warranty costs, but development costs would be 0, and an SRT so equipped would certainly lay waste to both the GT and the Z06...

    Hey Tom F&L; What fuel should I use?

    Are all premium fuels created equal? If not, what criteria should I use to select a fuel for the Viper? What are the consequences of running "cheap" gas?

    Paging Dennis Kimball

    Dodge needs to take the SRT to the track

    I read about these niggling problems with the SRT and I think to myself, Corvette. Perhaps some of you will remember how the Corvette endured a long span in 70's and 80's when it was a bad car. It wasn't until Chevy began seriously racing the car in showroom stock racing (specifically, the...

    Viper music?

    I like all different kinds of music; old, new, fast, slow. So, I listen to all kinds when I drive. Except when I'm driving the Viper. When I'm driving the Viper, the only kind of music I like is Rock n Roll. It's really strange. I'll play something else and just get an urge to switch back...

    Brake Rotor Wear II

    Anybody tried the PFC 14" front rotors? How do they wear compared to other 14" rotors? Do they last longer enough to actually be economical (they're 2X the cost of my 14" Roe rotors)? I'm especially interested on how they tolerate PFC 01 pads.

    Pad prep for 14" slotted rotors?

    Pad prep for 14\" slotted rotors? I recently upgraded the front of my 2002 GTS to 14" slotted rotors. I'm using the stock front calipers and PFC 01 pads. I've used them for just a single track session, where once the brakes warmed up, I could definitely feel the slots as kick back in the...

    Oil Question for Tom F&L

    You have mentioned in the past that Mobil Delvac 1 is superior to Mobil 1, primarily due to the extra additives in the Delvac. Why then doesn't everybody use diesel engine oil in their cars? Will the additional additives harm the catalytic converters?

    What is the lightest wheel suitable for street use?

    My stock 02' wheels seem awfully hefty. What is the lightest wheel suitable for everyday street use and the occasional track day?

    Brake Man 3 vs Performance Friction 01?

    I'm getting conflicting info on which is the better pad, particularly for track use. Anybody have real life experience with the two? My application is a bone stock GTS w/ABS.

    Pure Speculation Regardnig an SRT Coupe

    When I saw the first CC's I figured there was no way the car could ever be made streetable because it had such a severe chop top. The chop suggested to me no interior space and not enough glass to see out of the car well. I have since seen a couple of the latest CC's. The windshield, cowl and...

    EU Viper Owners, Please help me get a Tow Hook

    I want to get a tow hook like the one shown on the Swiss Viper in this "Plate Holder" thread (see below). Yes, I know everyone already sells the FIA tow hook, I even have one. However, I simply like the idea of a factory piece. Both Woodhouse and Parts Rack have come up short, hence my...

    Thanks Bruce, but...

    None of these photos do the CC justice. The CC is sooooo much more attractive in person. And, they go like the preverbial bat. I had the pleasure of being overtaken many times by Woody's car. Went by like I was standing still (I was going about 100mph). I can't afford a CC habit, but for...

    Viper Tech Rating

    I recently discovered the mounting ears of my fuse panel are broken. The fix is to replace the ENTIRE harness. This naturally has me scared to death that during the swap something will get goofed and I'll end up with rattles, or worse, intermittent electrical problems. Obviously, I want a...

    Has anyone elses 2002 GTS ever ignored their fob?

    On 2 occasions my car has completely ignored inputs from the fob. No response whatsoever, to lock, unlock or both buttons pressed for 10 seconds. Both times the car was parked in bright sunshine in 60ish degree weather. The first time I got frustrated, popped the hatch, setting off the alarm...

    Super Viper

    EXECMALIBU's recent tirade got me to thinking what I would do to make a Super Viper. Not a Gen IV Viper, but a Super version of the SRT 10. The current Viper has 2 demons which need to be exorcised in order to achieve Super status; heat, weight. Heat, because, we already cook everything...

    Engine sound

    My 2002 has 7000 miles. No rattles from anywhere. I suggest you have an experienced Viper Tech give the car a going over.
