    My 03 gets sluggish when hot. Help before I get passed by a Vette!

    If your car is running hot you definitely need to remove the cross over pipe and have your computer reflashed by DC Performance. They lower your coolant temp to about 180. Makes a big difference. Plus you will not reach the temps that cause your car to retard your timing thus slowing you down.

    Naked Viper Thrashed...

    Somehow, I think that just voided the factory warranty.

    Tall guys: save my dream car for me...

    I'm 6'3" and 195 and I fit fine. I even pull the pedals up an inch for better shifting. The only time I have issues is with a helmet.

    Pre-Thanksgiving Cruise and Brunch

    Was a great run. We had a blast. Great choice of roads. Especially that long strip of highway and those very twisty back roads. :D

    VCA member runs 11.4 in stock gen3

    Just got back in town from an extended business trip and wow, didn't mean to create a controversy. As an earlier poster said, at the track growing up, stock meant minor bolt-ons. After reading this thread, in retrospect, I see twister’s intention was doing (100% completely stock). I have always...

    Capital has terrible prep. It's hard to remember any sort of traction at Capital. MIR is the best at least at private rentals but I am sure they are good most of the time and the facility is very nice and clean. :drive:

    VCA member runs 11.4 in stock gen3

    Thanks. It was Monday 12/7. There were actually two private rentals going on at the same time. One in each lane. I do not know about Capital but I would be surprised if you could not do a private rental now. Most want the $$.

    Viper Tech recommendations

    I was at the track on Monday and was having some issues with missing 3rd gear. Having never had that issue before I thought it was odd and chalked it up to a cold day. On the way home I noticed I could up shift thru all the gears but could not downshift from 6th to 5th. I ended up going from 6th...

    VCA member runs 11.4 in stock gen3

    I put the rear tires at 24 lbs to give better tire contact and to cushion the load snap. I launched at between 3000- 3500 depending on traction. I prefer 3500 for obvious reasons. I let the throttle out fairly quickly (basically while saying "one thousand"). The outside temperature was about...

    Viper Tech recommendations

    Any Viper Tech recommendations in or near Montgomery County? Would rather go to a Dodge dealer because I believe I still have a little time left on he warranty.

    Thanks. I attended a private track rental last Monday that was hosted by Ranger who is famous for his record setting times in Z06s. The track was Maryland International Raceway in southern Maryland. I have never had the car on a dyno. Highest mph in the 1/4 was 123 but I am usually at 121...

    100% stock gen3 fast list

    Thanks. Ranger picked a great day to set up the rental. It was cold and the track was sticky. If my trans hadn't started to act up I think I could have even done better. I hit a 1.7 60 ft time but 3rd gear would not cooperate.

    100% stock gen3 fast list

    On Monday I attended a private track rental. I hit a personal record of 11.426 @ 120.02. I hit a 1.729 60 ft time with the stock runflats. I still think 11.2s are possible. Can't wait for springtime.
