    Discolored Rear Calipers

    The rear calipers on my ACR are turning brown. It is not dirt, the paint is changing color. I've had them replaced once under warranty for the same issue but now Chrysler refuses to replace them again. I assume the issue is excess heat in the brakes. I have the titanium backing plates but my...

    Splitter Rivets

    Anyone know the brand and part number for the two end rivets on the splitter? I had to replace my splitter but can't find the rivets that are on either end. They secure the splitter to the bottom of the front fenders. I know I can probably put a bolt on it but I would like it to look factory.

    One thing that I really hate

    Ok, I think the SRT guys have done an awesome job on the new car. Looks good inside and out. Also drives like it is still a Viper. However, one thing they did (and I've already complained to every engineer I've met including one that I would call a friend) is that they put an auto dimming...

    I'm getting banged!

    Now that I have your attention. I am having an issue with my 09 ACR on the track. Under heavy braking I sometimes hear a loud banging from the rear, I think more from the right side. It doesn't occur in all braking zones just some. May be related to the roughness of the surface. I may have...

    Glynn is back!

    Glynn, maybe our state's only respected Viper Tech, is back working at a Chrysler dealership. He's at Centennial Chrysler Jeep on Arapahoe Rd. Took both Vipers in today for him to do some maintenance on. Great experience. Jim (service manager), Tim (service coordinator for Vipers), and Glynn...

    Waiting for ad to be approved but I just listed a full set of Pilot Cups that I took off my ACR. They came off my 09 ACR when it was delivered so they only have delivery miles on them. Asking $1400 with free delivery. VPA wants $1725. Stock sizes. If you pick them up I'll cut you a break on...

    Front vs. Rear brake pad choice

    Yes, I've searched. Only came up with three threads and none of them covered this topic. I've been tracking Vipers for 10+ years but I have not really considered this question before. I've tried a lot of track brake pads on the Viper - SBS, Porterfield, Brakeman,and now Raybestos. I've also...

    How does someone get suspended?

    I have heard indirectly that Jon B from Parts Rack has had his posting privileges suspended for some infraction. Is it remotely possible that this is true? Jon B has been a loyal supporter of the VCA for more years than I can count and a site sponsor to boot. Is it possible that he could...

    Suggestions on selling my 06

    Ok, I've had my 06 FE supercharged coupe for sale for a while (number 87 out of 200). Its been on this site and that auction site whose name the mods seem to object to. I've got a Buy it Now price of $57,500 and a starting bid of $55,000. Seems like a fair price given it has a newly rebuilt...

    ACR setup

    Ok, I have searched and have read the thread that details what the engineers say about smooth tracks and rough tracks. But are there full instructions as to how to setup of the aero and suspension. I've seen reference to some Viper Mag article. Can someone post up some info so that I know...

    Radio install in a 2009

    I have previously installed a Kenwood single DIN pop out DVD head unit in my 08. No issues. Dodge didn't use the new CAN bus for the radio so it was pretty straight forward. However, a very reputable Viper Tech (trust me he is someone you would know and belive) has told me that he's had...

    Went to move my 09 ACR this morning. Only has 46 miles on it. Kept on trickle charger. Started right up but had a CEL. Three codes, two the same (Engine Off Timer), one of those was pending. Unfortunately I cleared them and don't remember the other code. Anyone know what this means? Yea...

    Track Days in CO

    My daughter wants to do another High Performance Driving Event. I had her out in my Saleen at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Now that I'll be moving to the Denver area are there any tracks in the vicinity and are there any clubs that do track days there this fall?

    Dr. Colorchip

    All I can say is wow. Just fixed a couple of nicks on my 2006 FE, perfect match and easy as heck. Also got the stone white for the stripes. Funny though, their website has the stone white as a 2007 Viper color (yea I know there is no such thing). I tried taking pics before and after but my...

    IAT - What's too hot?

    I've searched and read a bunch of threads concerning Intake Air Temp. Mostly some good info on Gen2 cars with Roe Superchargers and VEC3s. I couldn't find very much though on Gen3 cars with Paxtons. My Gen3 has a Paxton and a PLX gauge capable of reading the Intake Charge Temp from the...

    lite weight lug nuts

    Just bought a set of lite weight lug nuts off of Ebay. They were around $26 for 24. All 24 weigh about as much as 4 OEM lug nuts. They are made of aluminum. Has anyone used these before? How about on the track (road course)?
