    New upgrades to track car!

    Well, I put the carbon fiber (real) GTS-R wing and the front splitter on my track car ('97 GTS) from Bob Woodhouse's old '96 GTS which had been gutted on the interior by fire at the recent MAM Viper Days event. While I was at it I upgraded the brakes to Dave's SRT brakes. Mark Jorgensen and the...

    Picked up a new...

    Copperhead! I sold my 2003 SRT last Fall... just got tired of it. Subsequently I bought a Ford GT but that's not a daily driver. I was itching to get another convertible and after seeing the Copperhead (in photos only, mind you) my decision was easy. The car is stunning! My wife couldn't...

    selling 2003 SRT-10 to...

    ...buy the new coupe! Should be in classifieds shortly. Briefly, 7,000 mi. Completely stock except for Corsa exhaust. Always garaged. Excellent condition and never tracked (I have the GTS for that). $59,000. This includes extended warranty ($1,700 value). I bought it from Bill P. just like the...

    comp coupe seats in the GTS

    Anybody do this? Racetech says it can fit (model RT4009HRV) without hitting the door although some fabrication to the sliders need to be done. Also said it's a fixed mount.

    oil pressure question

    I noticed at Hallett this past weekend that my oil pressure, which started out at 40 - 50 on startup dropped to about 20 after running the car hard on the track. It then came back up on cooldown. I don't recall this happening on other track days but maybe I was inattentive? I used 10w30 Mobil...

    I don\'t usually go for these frilly things, but... I thought this black MGW gas cap with red sneaky pete would look good on my GTS, especially with the black CCW wheels. I'll try to post a pic. If not, it's in my gallery.

    Kudos to 40 mm rear calipers

    I put Tom Hayden's 40 mm rear calipers on the GTS and have run them for two track weekends now. What a huge improvement! I have Brakeman 3's all around. After two weekends, I checked the pads figuring to replace the fronts and found that the rears also were done! I put on all 4 at the same...

    Removed prop valve on my GTS today

    after installing SS brake lines. I didn't realize it at the time (maybe I was tired or just ignorant) but after removing the spring and inner tube, fluid leaks out the hole in the plug. Do I need to get a solid plug to replace it or was I supposed to do something else other than remove the...

    Who's going to MAM next month?

    Cruise Control?

    Just wondering what others think about the lack of this amenity on the SRT. I've only had my SRT for a week but am using it as a daily driver (as opposed to my GTS). I realize that the Viper's image is one of raw power and no sissy options (although DC did make a concession to A/C and now a cup...

    2nd Snake coming Monday

    Just made a deal with Bill P. for the silver 2003 SRT-10. My red '97 GTS is slowly getting too many track mods and I needed to get rid of the 2002 ZO6 (daily driver) anyway before its value goes any lower than it already has. So much for the rationalization for buying something I don't really...

    Front proportioning valve?

    I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I know that proportioning valves are typically placed on the line going to the rear brakes and that it allows you to decrease the pressure going to the rear brakes as needed for proper...

    weight distributing hitch

    Looking for recommendations for purchase of one of these to tow my viper. I have a Kwik-load open trailer and a 1/2 ton pickup. Looks like I need to know the tongue weight among other things. There seem to be many types. I figure there'd be some experience with these among some of you towing...

    correct torque spec for oil pan

    10 qt with aluminum gasket. Did some very spirited driving today and noticed a few oil drops on ground afterward. Installed the larger 10 qt pan with baffles, windage tray, ACR filter adapter a couple mos ago on my '97 GTS. Used the aluminum gasket with some high temp silicone sealer. Just...

    Changed the coolant today

    This is the first time doing this on this car for me (only got it this spring...'97 gts). I decided to go ahead and put the bleeder valve on the upper radiator hose while I was at it. Got the one from Speedworks. I sure am glad. A LOT of air gets trapped there judging from my experience today. I...

    trailering question

    Planning on getting a Texas Rollback Trailer (open trailer with 18' of usable length and overall length of 22'). It has an air dam on front. Thought about an enclosed trailer but felt this would suit my needs, at least for the forseeable future. It comes with 4 D-rings (near the corners)...
