    Does anyone REGRET going with Eibachs?

    I've been thinking about lowering the car for a while now, and everyone seems to like the Eibachs. I had them on a Mustang that I had years ago, and had no complaints. Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone put them on and went back to stock (or something else) because of problems or whatever...

    I suck at drag racing at the track

    I went to the 1/4 mile track on Friday and ran 12.685 at 115.81 MPH. Here's a slip of my first pass (first ever drag race ever). The second one I ripped the insert thing (the thing that has the shift pattern on it), so I got stuck in second. Anyway, here is the slip from my first pass. Check...

    Lighter rotors = more RWHP?

    I have some EBC rotors on the way. They weigh 3 pounds less than stock, or 6 pounds for the rear wheels. Now, theoretically, that should give me more RWHP since it is 6 pounds less of rotating mass, correct? I know the difference is practically non-existent, I was just curious. At the very...

    Shifting hard...got stuck in neutral

    Last night during some spirited driving, I was powershifting from 2nd to 3rd, and somehow it got "stuck" in neutral. I had to mess with it to get it back in gear. This happened again later. What's going on? Do I need to get the tranny fluid replaced? Or is there something wrong with like...

    Mini Viper meet pics

    Okay, I know it is only two Vipers, but I figured I would post it. I just got back from lunch with my friend Jon. His is the yellow one. Both of our cars are pretty dirty, and the parking lot sucked, but hey, at least they are Vipers...

    Royal Purple (or other synthetic) for rear?

    Just wondering if anyone uses a synthetic like Royal Purple in the rear end? Supposedly synthetic gear oil adds a couple RWHP. Is this true? I need to get mine changed, and if I can add a couple horsepower in the process, I might as well go synthetic. Any advice? Thanks.

    How do I know what number built car I have? 2000 RT10

    I see a lot of people with signatures saying #1 of 900 or whatever, and was curious how you find that out. Can it be determined by reading my VIN? Or is there some sort of registry, or what? I can post my VIN if necessary. I don't think I have some "special" car, just was wondering....

    Drag - proper burnout tips?

    Does anyone have any tips on how to do a good, proper burnout to prepare for a drag race? Obviously I know how to do a burnout, but I am wondering about how long you do it, and stuff like that. How do you know when it is ready? Any tips?

    Best pics of my car ever...

    I had to go downtown (Jacksonville, Florida), so I thought I would bring the camera along and see if I could get a pic or two with the three piece hardtop on. This is along the St. Johns River, across from the Jacksonville Landing. This is at Alltel Stadium where the Jaguars play...

    Replacing upstream O2 sensors...any tips?

    I did a search and couldn't find anything on this. I am about to replace my front (before the cat) sensors. I have been getting a code, and Dave at Roe Racing suggested I replace them. I was going to anyway, but now that I am getting a code, I am doing them. Anyway, is it fairly...

    Fog light covers on a car that didn't come with them?

    Fog light covers on a car that didn\'t come with them? I like the look of the foglight covers that came on earlier cars than my 2000 RT. Do they simply like "push" into place, or is there more involved? Also, where can I get a decent deal on them? Or, do they just not fit at all? Thanks.

    Deleted cats AND Roe side sill insulation?

    My car is too damn hot, and I want it colder. I have already deleted my cats, and my A/C works okay. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is between no cats and no cats combined with the Roe side sill insulation. Is it worth it? When I removed my cats, I header-wrapped...

    Got my three piece hardtop from PATTYMELT1285....

    I just wanted to thank Patrick (username on here: Pattymelt1285) for the used three piece hard top and storage bags I bought from him. It was in great shape, and I recommend him as someone you can buy from, and not get ripped off. The top is sort of a pain to put on, but then again, so is the...

    Would anybody be interested in billet pulleys?

    My friend has been making billet pulleys for a couple of years now. He has been making idler and power steering pulleys. Up to this point he has been making them for Mustangs and F-bodies. Anyway, I was thinking that if there was enough interest we could start making some for Vipers (Gen...

    Got my VEC2...and....WOW!!!!

    I took my car over to Roe Racing today, and had them install a VEC2. Dave did the install and then afterwards we took it for a couple passes on their private track. I did a pass with the stock calibration, and then he swapped to a second one. We came back and it was a giant improvement. Then...

    Best rear tires for street?

    I replaced my fronts with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's about 6 months ago, and now the rears are just about ready to need replacing. I have the stock Michelin Pilots on now. I want something that hooks good, but is still a street friendly tire. Should I get the 712's on the back? Suggestions...

    99 versus 2000 cam

    I was reading my Viper book, and I saw that in 2000, they revised the cam to have 6 less degrees of overlap, yet, they have the same horsepower. I am guessing that the 2000 computer is tuned differently than 99, is that correct? Where is the power coming from, since the cam is less aggressive...

    Went to the dealer today, and guy tried to sell me a 2000 RT/10

    I went to the local Dodge dealership today, because I needed to get one of those plastic grommet things that is on the back where the roof top "pin" thing goes into. Anyway, I drive the Viper (which is a 2000 RT/10) to the dealership, in case they needed to see what part I was talking about. I...

    Found this in my garage....

    I picked him up, carried him around the house, and put him in the lake behind my house. He was a couple pounds.

    Three piece hardtop AND nitrous in RT/10 trunk

    With the three piece hardtop, is it possible to fit that, along with a nitrous bottle to the right of it (behind the passenger seat) at the same time? Anyone done this? What's the biggest bottle that would fit? I am guessin that you can't put a 10 pound bottle in there, right? Pics? Thanks...

    Best way to flush radiator

    Anyone have any tips? Is it pretty straightforward? I figure at 5 years and 35K miles, it is probably a good idea to put some new stuff in. Thanks.

    Help me spend my $10,000.

    After a series of delays, my cash-out refinance on my house will be done in the next week or so. Anyway, after paying off all of my bills, putting a deck on the house, and a few other little things, I will have about $10,000 left that I was going to use for car stuff. I only have the black...

    Most ANNOYING Viper moment?

    I was just wondering who else has had stuff like this happen. About 20 minutes ago, I was at the gas station, filling up the Viper. I was on the cell phone at the time. Some grungy looking guy came up to me and started asking questions while I was on the phone, and it was a business call, not...

    Kelsey Grammar car crash

    Everytime I talk to my mother about my car, she tells me to drive safely "because Kelsey Grammar flipped his." Now, yeah, that's good advice, but wasn't he drunk when he had his accident? I don't drink and drive, so I try to convince her to not worry, but that doesn't work. What exactly...

    What REAR tires should I get?

    Car is a near daily driver. I don't really care about wear too much, but I want something that will last say 10,000+ miles. It has the original Pilots on the back, and I recently put Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's up front. They seem to grip a lot better, so I was thinking of putting them in the...
