    Viper Driving School Insurance . . .

    I have not found anything within Geico's policy that would exclude non-timed driver education events. Personally, I follow a couple simple rules related to this subject: I drive safe when at the events so hopefully I never need it! No timing, ranking, scores, etc. Whats in writing is the...

    Another Viper crash..............

    Lots of analysis about how the crash might have happened . . . But the real interesting part is how those stock "roll hoops" seem to have survived (and performed) in a rollover. For years I have been reading dozens of posts describing the stock hoops as cosmetic worthless junk. Please explain...

    Battery Save Feature

    03 had a different enable/disable. 04+, cycle the ignition 4 times and hit the door lock (horn-beep indicates success). 45 seconds later everything is disabled except the driver-side door handle. I use it everytime that I park the car in my garage for more than 1-2 weeks. It works great! I...

    who here has installed kn cold air intake?

    It fit. Little bit noisier. Mine showed 7hp gain on a dyno. Dont have to buy paper elements anymore. For some folks here, installation and results did not go as well.

    Dead Battery

    You can put your car in sleep mode for longer storage periods. Battery can last a month even in freezing weather. Cycle ignition acc-off-acc-off-acc-off-acc-off, hit the door locks and you get a horn beep indicating the alarm, passenger, trunk is diabled. More info in the manual.

    Use the low mark. The high mark is from the dipstick rubbing against the tube as you insert/remove it.

    Traqmate install

    Glad your sharing the unit, its great for that! Might want to temporarily tape the unit on top of an extra floor mat that you just move from car to car. Yes, the unit needs to be zero'ed at every install. Try to get it +/- .05 g's while parked on a flat/level surface. If its not zero'ed...

    Traqmate install

    On my convertible, I used double sided foam tape to adhere the GPS antenna center-front of the trunk lid. Right up against the canvas top. The cable was routed : Along the inside of the trunk lid, Down the shock/hinge, Around to the driver side door, Draped down behind the driver seat, Up...

    Fun at the racetrack - caught on camera:-)

    I heel-toe down each gear in the brake zone (4-3-2), to keep rhythm, I don't skip gears. I avoid trail braking the Viper, it rotates too abruptly/quickly for me to control. But you got those adjustable Motons . . . you should be able to tune that behavior out (+Fd,-Rd). Because your running...

    Paxton + road racing... any issues?

    Interesting product (Evans). But the specific heat value looks lower. Kai, You do such nice write ups. You going to run water/coolant first to get a baseline before giving us your feedback? :)

    MovIT Braking System much better than stock SRT-10 ??

    I have not heard of MovIT brakes. But it is impossible for ANYTHING to be far superior over the stock SRT-10 brakes. You have to track this car to see just how great these brakes are. 30 minutes into a session, you can still fade-free brake harder than anything out there.

    Shift from 3rd to 2nd at 5500 RPM

    I am curious what would be the first thing to break when you zing these motors? Anyone know (and about what rpm)? Rod/Crank bearings? Rods stretch/crack? Valve train float/squish? Piston/pin? I'm surprised how many here feel the stock shifter design contributes to increased wrong shifts...

    03 E-brake stuck, anyone have this problem?

    Same for me. Left inside e-brake pad gone at 14k miles. But I was hesitant to blame it on stuck caliper as I noticed it was off the rotor when straight, and grind/squeak when initiating a right turn. I figured it was the 700 miles or so of tracking with the g's pushing the inside pad into the...

    Must have clear bra area's, or places you have gotten stone chips.

    Re: Must have clear bra area\'s, or places you have gotten stone chips. I dont clearbra my Viper. 12000 miles of actual wear shows: The Viper has durable paint and a decent sill protecting shape. Black is the worst color for rashing, and it still is not that bad. Foot scrapes over the top...

    How did you get one of those runs past the 6200rpm fuel cutoff?

    Does anyone have issues with their windows closing properly?

    Same for me. My solution is using a gentle, but fast "slam". Apply the perfect door closing velocity and you can get > 50% success.

    Potential new Owner w/ questions...

    They are pretty reliable daily drivers. Have not heard of any mileage related failures from SRT's. Most common failure seems to be the diffs. I noticed you did not inquire about (daily) driving comforts. That might be a better question to ask about.

    New Dyno Results

    GR8_ASP, awesome torque that never drops off! With that power curve, you sure could use a 7000rpm redline. How loud is that Mopar race exhaust?
