The Dodge Viper ACR's Wing Is Really Strong - dodge viper acr - Jalopnik
First person to post a similar photo with their own ACR wins a prize.
Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like my bud is gonna try ordering the Koolmat as he was worried more about heat than noise. Seems his tranny tunnel was burning his leg, haha.
Buddy of mine with a C6Z06 wants to see if he can get his hands on some sort of thin thermal insulation that he was pretty sure the newer vipers had (not sure if my 99 has it). He seemed to recall something along the lines of balsa wood, foil, and some sort of composite material. I was hoping...

Ditto. Which is why I waited to buy exactly the model, color combo, etc. that I wanted as I was essentially buying my dream car. I just consider myself lucky that my dream car wasn't an Enzo, or worse, Veyron.
Hmm, less dust, interesting....might save me from having to wash the BBS rims so often (they look nice, but require some work). Will buy a factory service manual and try the PCM reset. Seems like something that is easily done. Hope that solves the problem.
