    K & N filters and smooth tube

    I remain somewhat skeptical until we can see some dyno sheets. Please? Pretty please? :) Also, does K&N make any claimed performance benefit (filters only or full system)? Or does the package just say something about improved airflow? I would put some stock in what K&N claimed...

    Let's talk TAXES!

    Re: Let\'s talk TAXES! Brian, If you really paid state sales tax on GGT and Luxury Tax, chances are that you're entitled to a refund of that portion of the tax. I'm not a sales tax expert, but the rule in Texas is that the sales tax is due on the invoice/sticker amount. GGT and Luxury Tax...

    Let's talk TAXES!

    Re: Let\'s talk TAXES! I don't mean to sound condescending, but there's a fundamental misunderstanding of taxes in this thread. My background is in Federal Income Taxes, so I'm something of an expert on the subject. Rule #1: Taxes do not have to make sense, be logical, or even be consistent...

    K&N Filter system

    Did anyone ever get a postable Dyno sheet from the K&N System?

    SRT-10 blown subwoofer "AGAIN"

    Re: SRT-10 blown subwoofer Anyone have an issue with sound randomly cracking or cutting out at volume over "30" (as indicated on the LED face of the stereo), especially when listening to a CD? The speakers seem fine. It's almost like there's a short in the CD connection somewhere. The radio...

    K&N Filter system

    This sounds really interesting to people (like me) who are interested in some mild mods. The question in my mind is what is the difference between the "system" and just the K&N filters? I've seen people post here that they were only getting ~5HP from the filter change or just taking off...

    Straight from PVO! Headlight Flickering Details.

    I have to chime in here and agree that DC has handled this inappropriately, and continues to do so. This isn't some minor annoyance, and you shouldn't assume it is especially if you own one of the affected cars (I do). Driving down an unlit highway at night (which is when the most severe...

    Flickering lights

    Jay, Is someone contacting North Texas Viper owners (like my dealer) to alert us to come in and check out the fix? I, too, have had this problem. The last time it was on the highway and was bad enough to make me reluctant to take the car out at night.

    Cockpit heat - while parked?

    A window shade is required equipment in Dallas, TX., but it only helps so much. The black top really soaks up the sun, and I don't think there's much you can do about it other than park it under a carport or inside a garage. My car will stay cooler with the top up, window shade in, and windows...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Went to Discount Tire Saturday and got it fixed. Indeed, they use a combination plug/patch thing that's apparently authorized by Michelin to work on our tires. They told me they had done Viper work and SRT-10 work before, too. The charge was $25. The pressure sensor is located on the valve...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Skip, any suggestions on places for the wheel repair? I took another look tonight and, while small, it's scratched and you can see it if you're looking. Right on the edge, too. I might see if I can post a picture. I figured there were shops that could recondition them since they can do...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Okay, update on this: Goodyear couldn't do the job after all and left me with a scratched rim to boot. This frustrates me more because they advertise Michelin tires and I asked them before they tried if they could help. Only after scratching my rim did I find out that they weren't a certified...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    For the record, the Dodge dealer didn't have the equipment to mount the run flats, but the Goodyear I used for my Vette can do the Michelins. Figured I'd post the conclusion in case anyone else runs into the issue. Definitely good to know that Michelin will cover the tires in event of...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Thanks for the suggestion on the plugs (I think that's the name for the "sticky rubber rope thingys"), but I don't think it will work well here. I have plenty of those at home that I use on the constant flats that I get with my JD tractor, but this is in a spot on the tread that could cause it...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Nope, not in the sidewall. Where did you go for the patch job?

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Freaking debris in the Texas roads! *&^%(*^(*&!!!!! It's the passenger rear tire and it's all the way through (I checked). I'm guessing this can't be patched due to the way the tires are constructed. Any suggestions on good places to buy the replacement and have it mounted? There...

    Questions for SRT owners

    I'm 5'11" and feel like a tiny boost upward in the seat would improve overall visibility. The guy who sold me the car was 6'4" (I think) and he couldn't fit in it with the top up. My biggest complaint about vis is the rearward left driver shoulder with the top up. You're basically just using...

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice pics. Tried to get the GF to pose with my SRT and got shot down. Best I could do was get the dog and horses in the pics. I need to get mine in my profile somewhere once I figure out how to do it (or get motivated enough to RTFM and learn how). Btw, where did you go to get the car pegged...

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, Allan, no one can claim you don't drive the he11 out of them! ;-) And your page with the car picks is apparently broken or something.

    Who here has the most mileage on their SRT?

    Got 1100 on mine, which turns one month old tomorrow.

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And just to jump on the bandwagon =P Show me someone who says a Porsche (GT, TT, 911, 996, Boxster, whatever) is more exotic or gets more "looks" than any Viper (RT, GTS, SRT) and I'll show you a Porsche fanboy or owner. Most laypeople can't tell the difference between a boxster and a 911...

    Rear View Mirror position

    Bob, don't feel too bad as you're not the only one! After reading the posts here I fiddled around with mine and now I can actually see what's behind me. I didn't realize that the attachment at the window was jointed, either.

    Question about buying an '03 Viper Please!

    Re: Question about buying an \'03 Viper Please! I don't think you're going to find an 03 anywhere at dlr invoice. Too many voucher holders are still waiting on their cars to be delivered. I paid sticker for mine and believed I got a reasonable deal. I think what you're hearing about invoice...

    Dallas Mustang

    Anyone use them for a Dyno? Got 800 miles on my SRT-10 and I want to get it on the dyno to see the rwhp. Also want to take in my 2000 vette before I put in my new air filter for a baseline test. Thanks!
