    Are any of you staying at hotel other than host hotel?

    I live in Dallas and have been to the Gaylord several times. The closest hotel is the Embassy Suites, but there are sever others within 1 or 2 miles (Hyatt, AmeriSuites, and one or two more). I wouldn't say these are in "walking distance", but they're not far at all. I'm sure the Gaylord can...

    How many are registered so far?

    I registered a couple days ago and was #544.

    My dealer paid for my VCA membership

    I think my dealership was going to pocket the dough (if that's possible). I had to badger them for about 9 months and finally multiple calls to the VCA folks at Dodge got my initial year taken care of. Car dealers? I agree. Generally I could live without them. It's interesting that in the...

    Do "non-driving" spouses pay the full registration fee?

    Re: Hotel discount is not all that great As an update to my complaining about the early departure penalty, one of our local members confirmed that the $50 is only if you leave before your scheduled departure from your reservation. I've also noticed that the Gaylord Texan has once again extened...

    Dyno"d my Mamba 700 miles new Blanger headers and cats side pipes

    Re: Dyno At 10% driveline loss the difference between the correct divisional approach and the multiplication approach is about 1% overall. However, the greater the figure used for driveline loss, the more inaccurate the result from multiplying instead of dividing. For example (extreme, I...

    Do "non-driving" spouses pay the full registration fee?

    Re: Hotel discount is not all that great At least one of the two I mentioned is also getting a parking fee waiver and I would make a substantial wager the other one is, too ;-) I didn't know about the Gold Wing group (so that makes our rate the highest by far of at least 3 different events in...

    K&N Filtercharger whistle

    Has anyone contacted K&N and asked them if it's _supposed_ to whistle for some unknown reason? Perhaps one of the vendors can comment here.

    K&N Filtercharger whistle

    I just got mine today and took the "tube" piece out and tested the airflow through the fitting. By pushing enough air through it I could definitely make it whistle. Is there any reason to be concerned about boreing out that hole another 1/8" (from 3/8" to 1/2")?

    Do "non-driving" spouses pay the full registration fee?

    Hotel discount is not all that great There are at least two events held at the exact same venue that are within 60 days of VOI that I have personal knowledge of that are closer to the $100-$110/night range for the hotel rooms as a special "event price". And they don't require you to pre-reserve...

    Speaker problem with viper!

    I've had some sort of problem with my stereo, but mine seems a little different. It's only when the CD player is in operation and only at volume over 25 or so (yes, I listen to the stereo too loud and one day my ears will be shot and I'll regret it). It seems to just cut out on me or crackle...

    ? Replacement tires best price?

    Discount Tire has the equipment to do it, and their prices are normally very competitive. After a "Goodyear" shop that I used for my Corvette tires scratched my rim :( (Vettes have been using the run flats for years) my local Discount Tire fixed my SRT run-flat (had a roofing nail in it) with...

    Viper SRT Rollover

    I guess the oil pan becomes a moot point if the car flips before the engine fails, eh? And that last pick looks like the hoops completely held up, "soft surface" and all. It seems to make the roll bar pointless *in this particular instance* if the windshield is your primary concern. I wonder...

    Oil Pick up for Racing

    I agree with you, Keith. I'm not trying to defend DC at all here (hence, my jesting, if somewhat cynical, comment about at least I can take my Vette, above). No offense was meant and hopefully none taken, either. I was just contemplating what reasons they have to respond to the issue the way...

    Oil Pick up for Racing

    Maybe someone will corner one of the DC execs or engineers at VOI8 on this issue and get them to say something about it. At the very least, they should come out and say positively one way or another whether tracking the car, as built (i.e., no slicks, etc.), constitutes "abuse" and whether...

    Viper SRT Rollover

    Holy crap! The sport hoops look like they stood up better than the windshield. I agree 100% here. I've been considering this roll bar thing and my problems are (1) I don't want to cut the car, (2) the view out the rear is bad enough without further impeding it, and (3) I don't know if...
