    Gen IV rear bumper "slot": sagging plastic?

    Has anyone experienced sagging in the boxed regions of the pic below? On my '09 ACR, that upper border of plastic is dipping down and sagging a bit. Reaching around that upper edge, I can't feel any kind of filler or support material... shouldn't there be something in there to provide...

    Viper friends: can I get a "Like" from ya?

    Hey, friends... I would sure appreciate you logging onto your Facebook page to "Like" a video I've submitted to Dashware in a promotional contest. This is the "Seca with Telemetry" vid I've posted on here previously, basically a demonstration of what you can do with a smartphone, a GoPro, an...

    Escort 9500ix and Blendmount and Invisicord on your Viper? Tell us...

    I imagine there's gotta be a few people using the 9500ix radar/laser detector, mounted on (and tapping power from) their mirror. Can any of you recommend a specific mount (e.g. BlendMount) and/or power cord adapter (e.g. Invisicord) by catalog #s? I'm most interested in Gen IV installations...

    Veyron Super Sport is testing the Nurburgring...

    Throwing power and money at the problem, Bugatti looks like they're taking a shot at the record. (Can I say our record? I think I might...) http://bridgetogantry.com/2/index.php/home/news/430-bugatti-bring-veyron-ss-to-the-ring Always a good read at Bridge To Gantry, very fun site...

    Track days and oil changes...

    I've always assumed that it's better to run infrequent (3-5 per year) road course days on fresh oil, and just leave the stuff in there until the next event comes around. Seems like running with the fresh filter would be a good idea, too. Or would it be better (for some reason) to run the...

    Adding a track day at VIR to the VOI experience... who's interested?

    Virginia International Raceway is an easy top five American road course destination, and I'd like to spend a track day there either before or after VOI 12 in Charlotte. It looks like David Murry is holding an event at VIR on Sept. 26, and "Private Testing" is scheduled for Oct. 1 & 2... but...

    Hey, somebody signed my hood!

    ...signed (thankfully on the underside) near the very front. Looks like "Kingdom". Anyone happen to have any info on this? Assuming it's from one of Conner Ave staff, allow me to :clap2: Rich

    Heads up: cheap Mobil 1 at Autozone...

    Not sure if this is a regional deal or not, but starting tomorrow (Tues. Jan. 10) here in NorCal they're running their 5 qt + oil filter deal for $29.99, INCLUDING 0w40. Add $4 to upgrade the filter to the Mobil 1 version. Smokin' deal! Go grab some. Rich

    Drags tonight (11/9) at Infineon... see you there?

    Ridiculously short notice, I know, but I'm taking my Challenger out to tonight's bracket racing at Infineon. Let me know if you're going to be there; I'd like to meet some of my NorCal brothers. FYI, there's only tonight and 11/16 left on the Wednesday Night Drags schedule. Where did 2011...

    Smartphones as data loggers...

     So I was on the track the other day, driving at speed & using my phone...           ...for telemetry.  Hah!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2bIJfuKxXw   As I become even more track-obsessed, the data hound in me wants to crunch numbers and identify my weak points.  There are many, but...

    Anyone data logging with a PLX Kiwi WiFi OBDII?

    As the title asks... in general, also looking for other geeks that are using their smartphone and/or iTouch devices to log OBDII data. I have Trackmaster up and running well on my Droid X, but I need another system to log OBDII parameters... any info much appreciated. The goal is integration...

    Painting a Burago ACR...

    Hey... I'm looking at one of the SRT10 ACR Burago 1:24 diecast models in orange with solid black center stripe. Wondering how difficult it would be to mask off the black and paint SSG over the orange. Anyone tried this sort of repainting? Is there a spray paint that mimics true SSG? Any...

    SSG and Oakley?

    I was really hesitant to post this, but then I saw the "Viper Luggage" thread and figured, well, WTH. I'm an admitted Oakley junkie. Been buying their stuff since 1988, and they're the only glasses that I'll put in front of my eyes. So, imagine my heart rate when I first saw these: I...

    Thanks Jon! Street shoes for the ACR...

    Jon made it happen for me, finding six-spokes and working with CalChrome to have them powder-coated black. Seamless. Quick. Perfect. And with significant savings for me, too. Thanks, Jon! Rolling on PS2s for off-track use...

    Tracking the ACR: ride height question...

    I'm a mild, HPDE-type of driver, not out to terrorize the track. Going to drive Laguna Seca later this month, and plan on setting the shocks to the "rough track" settings. Adding a track extension to the front splitter. Wing and splitter at stock deflections. Using the Sport Cups. I'd...

    Favorite Gen IV code reader/clearer?

    Hey, all... I'd like to pick up a good code reader and code clearer for my '09 ACR. Hopefully not too expensive, but I don't want a "budget" compromise, either. Bonus points if the unit can be bought at typical (Autozone, O'Reilly/Kragen, etc.) retail stores. Thanks in advance for your...

    Raptor shiftlight in Gen IV...

    ...search reveals nothing more recent than June 2008. Who's using a Raptor shiftlight in their 2009 Viper? Mine's just in, and behaving similarly to what's been previously noted on this forum: seemingly random activation, sometimes a little flash... other times flashing non-stop. Turning...

    Gen IV ACR rear KW adjustment...

    OK, the fronts are easy to adjust, but on the rear KW does one need to pull the wheel? Or can you get enough room if you just jack up @ the pumpkin?

    Dodge front bumper emblem/sticker?

    Hesitant to post this for fear of flaming (Really? Asking about a bumper sticker?!), but I've seen pics of a couple Vipers that have the modern "Dodge" with two red slash bars graphic on one side of their front bumper. And now that I look for an example to show what I'm talking about... D'oh...

    Gen IV hood: vent covers for car washing?

    OK, I tried a search... Has anyone made/marketed little heat extractor covers for use when washing the hood? I washed my '09 last week and wasn't too thrilled about dousing the engine compartment... Thanks in advance for any help, Rich

    Drove your Gen IV ACR at Seca? Tell me about it...

    Looking for a little preview, ideally from a stock '09 ACR driver... but all Viper/Seca experiences are appreciated. ACR: Interested in setup details (octane, shock settings/height, suspension/camber, tires & pressures, front splitter track extension use, etc.) ACR: Any issues with...

    Asymmetric driving shoes?

    I know some (all?) of the Piloti models have a widened right shoe sole to aid in blipping the throttle while braking (heel/toeing). Who else makes driving shoes that are narrow on the left foot and widened on the right? I have big ol' size 13's, and I'm stuck in-between: my Puma Future...
