    Another shameless plug for Tator

    I guess it was way overdue, but better late then never... Cliff notes: Chuck replaced my 02 rearend and was very happy with his service. My 02 GTS had developed a whiney rearend. The funny part was that this was exactly how I remember it when I picked my brand new 02.. or not.. I was to...

    Oil change - hot or cold engine?

    I searched on the subject, but could not find the answer. I've heard both schools of thoughts. I personally always do it when engine is hot- if nothing else the oil drains faster :laugh: What do you guys think? alex 02 gts few other cars

    Hey MarkusReinhardt a Bike Vrs Car question

    there is no debate. a properly setup high-caliber sports car will lap faster than a properly setup high-caliber bike- everything else equal. take it from somebody who rode liter and above sport bikes for the last 8 years. however, nurburgring is fairly straight so a bike might have a slight...

    1-2 shift - why wheelhopping?

    ok, so after some time behind the wheel of my viper i feel fairly comfortable with its oversteer characteristics (very predictable brakeaway and easily controlled once going); however, i have been having one stupid problem i dont seem to be able to get rid of- a severe 1-2 shift wheel hop. i...

    launch RPMs- there is something wrong with the common knowledge here

    i did some searching on the board and i got the impression that most people are launching at 1500-2000 rpms for maximum acceleration out of the hole on street tires.. ??? what i dont undestand is that those rpms are too low. i played for a while with my friend's g-tech and obtained the best...

    the rear end noise has quiet down to the point where i dont care about it. however, in 5th and 6th gear i have significant whine from the transmission at anything above 50 or so. i dont remember my other t-56s to be like that. i have not checked the tranny fluid level (but i will this weekend)...

    Anybody have an M5 as their other car?

    i had a 00 m5. the m5 is a totally different car for different mood it is refined, plush and its pull is amazing - maybe not as hard as the viper's, however hard to judge though since it is so smooth. in a viper you know you are going 100 mph, in an m5 you think you are doing 60. its ride is...

    i have a ses light now, i _know_ i did the mod correctly and i used what i found on the internet to be the correct resistor value - 2.2k ohms at 1/2 watts. i cant just unplug the solenoid because it will set a light on a odb 2 cars- and mine is such. so i did plug in a 2.2k ohms resistor and...

    man, those things run hot...

    mine runs just past the mark on the right of the center mark.. dodge conviniently made the scale non-linear so the driver is clueless on what temp the coolant is at. said that, i have few questions: 1. how accurate is the readout? if it says 210 (12 o'clock) does that mean 210? 2. does...

    i think any viper owner can help me here, but i still have to ask the question right? while i had the rental gts i've noticed quite a vibration coming from the engine once it was spining over 4 grand. now, i am used to the chevy small block 305 and 350 type vibrations, but they are not as...

    in no particular order.. i am trying to be as objective as i can.... now keep in mind that i have had some really really ergonomically bad cars so it is not like i am trying to compare it to the bmw.. (a lotus esprit comes to mind) 1. getting in the car is hard. i wacked my head pretty good...
