    ACR Raffle is Live

    All, There have been comments made by others on other websites that the VCA's current 2016 Viper ACR raffle is illegal, so I asked our raffle attorney for a response to put this rumor to bed once and for all. Here is his response to my question: (which is also included in another post)...

    Irresponsible Leadership

    Response from our raffle attorney: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "The raffle is legal and has been for the past 15 years when it's been conducted by your organization. Chrysler participated with in the origination...

    Irresponsible Leadership

    As Greg states above, we did find a way to do car raffles legally. It took us almost a year of working on it and we used the most experienced raffle lawyer we could find, and it was not inexpensive. It does appear, however, that the other club has not yet figured out how to do raffles legally...

    Brake Upgrade? Need serious recommendations

    You can get stock rotors from your local dealer, though you might get a better price from Jon B at Parts Rack. Stock rotors work "OK" for their price. Not sure where you live, but shipping OE rotors very far (heavy) can get spendy, so you may end up back at your local dealer. Tried the Mintex...

    slave cylinder replacement questions

    I would not wait that long to replace the "hockey pucks" you have for tires. They are much worse in cooler weather, downright dangerous in cold weather. While you are at it, your diff fluid and trans fluid should be replaced too.....

    BREAKING NEWS!!!!! VIPER ACR Slithers into CAAP Viper Plant.

    It is kinda hard to tell in the pics. If you look at the silver car, the black stripe appears to be centered. The red stripe appears to be a driver's stripe. On some of the cars with black center band and black driver's stripe, it does appear off center but I'm guessing it isn't.....just...

    Shifting through the gears doesn't seem very smooth.

    Gen 4 engine mounts are stiffer than Gen 3 and work well too in the Gen 3. I've had to change engine mounts on both my Gen 3's. Went with Woodhouse on the Paxton car and Gen 4 on the N/A car. Dan

    clutch master cylinder failing?

    As above, a fluid change may solve the problelm. More and better insulation will help if you have headers, though rarely does fresh fluid boil on the street due to header heat. .....and I have not yet seen a clutch master cylinder fail. Doesn't mean that it can't happen though. I have seen...

    slave cylinder replacement questions

    Once you get through the stuff that isn't working properly due to the car sitting for such a long period of time, you should be good to go. Are the OE tires still on the car? If so, they will be very hard and won't give you very good traction. Replace them if you can. Wiper blades will be...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Same thing that happened to me, though I was making a bit more power than you likely are (925 rwhp / 860 rwtq). Dan

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    You could likely find the exact figures on line. I buy 4 quarts for my trans and it seems to use a bit less than that. For the diff, I buy 2 quarts and it seems to take about 1.5 or a bit more. Check this link: https://www.vipermagazine.com/viper-differential-lubrication-service/ Dan

    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    Having driven the Circuit of the Americas during our last Viper Owner Invitational, it would be a great track for running "ring" type laps for comparing modern track cars. Two very long straights, very fast "esses", some fast sweepers and some elevation. Also, the pavement is very smooth and...

    8 speed auto in a gen 5 viper

    Wayne, Do you know the rear gear ratio in the new Z06? My 09 ACR is also running 3.07. Would be an interesting swap. Anxious to hear your results. Dan

    WTB 2005 hydrolic fan. I think mine is gone :(

    What Thom says is true. However, in order for this to happen, the programming in the computer that controls fan turn on temp would have to have failed or have been re-flashed incorrectly, which is possible but not likely. It is worth checking on however as any dealer with the correct tool...
