    Cleaning ACR Wheels

    I am taking my ACR wheels off to fully clean them, specifically the back-side area where brake dust collects. I realize the front-side of the wheel is painted, but what about the back-side area? Is that area simply raw aluminum, or is it clear-coated? If it is raw aluminum, then it will be...

    Curious About Gen I Factory Headers

    Does someone have a picture of Gen I factory headers? I am curious as to what they look like. I have the Gen II factory headers on my 2001 ACR, and I am interested in seeing what exactly is physically different between the Gen I and Gen II versions. I have seen several posts promoting the...

    Garage floor covering input/recommendation needed

    I have seen a few posts/pictures with people's garages that have floors covered with what appear to be vinyl composition tiles (VCT). I was wanting to do the same thing in my garage, but I was told by a VCT manufacturer to not use VCTs in the garage unless it is climate-controlled. I was told...

    Stock Gen2 Engine's Actual Airflow Data

    Stock Gen2 Engine\'s Actual Airflow Data A while ago, I found a website that posted the Stock Gen2 engine's actual airflow data. It charted CFM vs. RPM. Now, I cannot find that data anywhere. I would really appreciate someone posting the data. Thanks.

    Here is a picture from the recent event we had (Sunday, 7-Aug). I enjoyed meeting many of you. Unfortunately, there were a lot of new people there that I did not get to really meet. I would appreciate the following from you (even those of you I have met before). - Which person you...

    Colorado Viper owners: Dyno Day on 17-Sep-2005

    Through a friend of a friend of a friend, I found out about a new dyno shop in Denver. I have been there a couple of times. The owners (Joe and Scott) were nice and very careful with the vehicles. All of their equipment is new. Here are a few pictures of the shop: I thought it would...

    Purpose of the exhaust resonator

    What is the purpose of the exhaust resonators? Some cars have them, while other cars do not. Has anyone ever taken the resonators off of the Viper to see how the sound changes? If so, what was different? More/less resonance? More/less volume?

    Gutting the rear muffler

    Who has gutted their rear muffler in a GTS? How exactly did you do it? I would like to minimize the intrusions into the muffler. Not having to do any welding would be preferable. Also, I remember seeing a post (with pictures) a several months ago where someone did a really nice job replacing...

    Stock exhaust system questions

    I need some confirmation regarding the stock exhaust system on the ACR: - Is the flex-pipe and cat welded together on all years, or did certain years have a clamp-joint between them? - Do all years have the resonator? - Were there any changes at all on the exhaust system throughout all ACR...

    How do O2 simulators work?

    Can someone please explain how an O2 simulator works? Does it have a fixed resistance, a particular signal output, and/or something else? Do the creampuff vipers have an O2 sensor before and after the catalytic converters? If so, does the ECU only use the front one for fuel/air optimization...

    How does a muffler-delete system sound?

    I am thinking about buying a muffler-delete system for my 2001 ACR. I have heard a Corsa cat-back system, and I liked it. How does the muffler-delete system sound/compare? Throatier? Louder? More interior drone? What are the disadvantages, if any, of a muffler-delete system? I realize...

    I have read several posts mentioning an all metal GTS Viper key. I think I remember seeing a sterling silver one awhile ago. Does anyone have information on any out there? It would be nice if someone could post a picture of one (the sterling silver one or any other all metal one). Thanks!

    Has your seat leather been replaced?

    From what I have read/heard, numerous people have had their seat leather wear/crack somewhat rapidly. This occurrence seams atypical (compared to other cars on the road), especially considering that Viper owners typically take very good care of their Viper(s). I have a few questions for those...

    Why do my vents change where the air blows when the engine is loaded?

    I have a 2001 ACR. Let's say I have the A/C on, and it is blowing out of the three dash vents directly above the radio. Whenever the engine is notably loaded, the air stops blowing out of the three dash vents and starts coming out of the windshield defroster vents. The air will resume blowing...

    Is it normal for the ACR suspension to make a "popping" noise?

    Is it normal for the ACR suspension to make a \"popping\" noise? I have a 2001 ACR. When I drive over small/sharp bumps, the suspension (particularly, the rear) makes a "popping" or "clunking" noise. I have been told by various people that this noise is coming from the ACR-specific shocks and...
