    19" SSRs?

    I just found out that Michelin is no longer making Sport Cups in 345 x 18" size. When my current set wears out, I would like to go back to 19" wheels but really like my SSRs. Do they make a 19" SSR wheel that would work on the rear of a Gen 3?

    '08 Viper PS2s R-compound?

    I've seen two articles now saying that the PS2s on the '08 Viper are R-compound. Is this true? Are the PS2s on the '08 different than the PS2s that have been available from tire rack for a while now?

    Viper sighting in Cherry Hill, NJ... anyone here?

    I saw a sweet SRT-10 (black) on my way home from work last night on Rt 70 in Cherry Hill, NJ. I was driving my STi and was playing around with it a little. Couldn't do much since the traffic was heavy, but it was a great looking car. Still had a temperary license in the back window, so it must...

    Impact of '08 Viper on Gen 3 resale value

    Impact of \'08 Viper on Gen 3 resale value Been wondering how the intro of the new Viper will effect resale value of Gen 3s. On one hand, there could be a glut (even more so than there already is) of Gen 3s hitting the resale market from current owners looking to upgrade. This could drive...

    Weight difference, stock wheels/tires vs SSRs/Sport Cups

    There has been some uncertainty regarding exactly how much weight is saved by switching from the stock 10 spoke wheels and runflats to SSR competition wheels (18x13 rear, 18x11 front) and Sport Cups (345x18 rear, 295x18 front). I just installed mine today and took measurements on both...

    Looking for feedback from the road racers

    I have a stock '04 and have road raced it a couple of times on the stock 10 spokes and runflats, so I have a decent feel for the car's stock handling characteristics. I will be installing 18" SSRs with Sport Cups (295 front, 345 rear) this week. Can anyone who has made this transition give me...

    Transmission brake-in???

    DC just replaced my trans under warrantee. The original was making strange noises, and now that I have a new one to compare it too, was definitely not working as smoothly as it should. Car feels much better now. One question... does a new trans require any sort of break-in procedure? Thanks.

    Emergency brake relocation

    I'm thinking of dropping down to an 18" wheel so I can run Sport Cups. I understand that to do this I must relocate the parking brake. How exactly is this done? Thanks for your help!

    Best shifter - B&M or Hurst ???

    I'm not crazy about the stock shifter in my '04. I already changed the lever to MGW short shaft, and while that was an improvement, I'm still think there is a lot of room for improvemnent in regard to throw and smoothness. I have been reading posts about both the Hurst and B&M replacement...

    computer swap-out help

    I just received my new computer from DC Performance. I see where the computer is located, but it appears I will have to remove the upper radiator hose to get at it. Is there a way to do this without removing the hose? If not, do I need to partially drain the radiator first? Thanks in advance...
