    Happy Birthday Maurice Liang!

    Happy birthday, Maurice... Probably wouldn't have my Viper if I'd never met you!

    Gen IV vs. Gen III: leg and headroom?

    I noticed that my tag mysteriously changed color a few days ago??? Conspiracy. Quick look at the User CP doesn't reveal how to switch it back to the faster color... any help? <self-hijack completed>

    Gen IV vs. Gen III: leg and headroom?

    What about a racing seat? Sparco (for instance) makes a wide variety of "street" seats and they're not like all the "shoehorn your ass in" type. Might be wise to wait for the Gen V... but I doubt there's gonna be THAT much more room. And you'd probably have to wait for someone to fab up a...

    Gen IV vs. Gen III: leg and headroom?

    ...thought I'd come back to a couple of my old "help!" threads and post up the final solution/outcome. Valaya Racing (San Jose) installed a Snake Oyl 2" seat lowering kit in my '09 ACR coupe and it's fantastic! The seat is immobile now, but I'm the only one that drives this car anyway...

    Silly Floor Mat Question

    Check with Maurice at the NorCal VCA and get some of our mats. Just got my set and they are fantastic: looks, fit, and quality all top-notch.

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    It's good info to collect, I agree. As pins get added, it looks like the population info (density) will become harder to evaluate... anyone volunteer to generate something like a "heat map" graphic overlay? Or 3D transform? Out-of-the-blue guesstimate: 75% of eventual VOI attendees are...

    ACR setup

    I'll echo the request for a .pdf of that Viper Mag article... or a link to this back issue. Hell, I'll buy one off somebody if it's a more expansive guide to track setup for the Gen IV ACR. Rich

    Look At The Redhead A$$

    I think that's a big improvement over the stock appearance. Nice!

    Dinner meeting April 5th

    Great meeting you all; just wished I could've released myself from work a couple hours earlier. Driving and then immersing myself in Viper for a few hours cured me of all the day's tensions and I went home with a grin. And an eye on my six as traffic cleared out on 101... Rich

    Gen IV hood: vent covers for car washing?

    OK, I tried a search... Has anyone made/marketed little heat extractor covers for use when washing the hood? I washed my '09 last week and wasn't too thrilled about dousing the engine compartment... Thanks in advance for any help, Rich

    Viper ACR selected production king of the 'Ring

    Well, I'll admit to some curiosity about why the heck someone would name a car a Donkervoort, in any language. And after seeing those pics... makes perfect sense.

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    Vegas rocks. You can easily build a larger vacation around the VOI event, and that's appealing to many (and to many spouses)... Weather dependability is extremely high. Nearby tracks @ LVMS and Spring Mountain. Roughly a trillion hotel rooms, many choices for host venue. Bang.

    New Member -- Deciding Between c6 Z06 or Gen III Coupe

    Exclusivity has a lot to do with Viper ownership. I dunno if this is some deep-seeded "gotta be different" neurosis that I have, but when it came down to my own choice... there's nothing like the Viper. And that's mirrored by the driving experience: it came down to Viper ACR vs. Nissan GT-R...

    acr rough ride? tips?

    Swapping to your new wheels with PS2s and selling the ACR wheels with their Sport Cups would be one thing to try. So, ummm... where are you located :) Shocks are dual-adjustable, but as mentioned that's still gonna be on the same (stiffer ACR) springs.

    2009 American Sports Car Sales Graph

    Wonder where the numbers came from... I thought 2009 Viper production was 706 total? Must be the "USA-specific sales" designation that's responsible, although I would be surprised to find that only 68% of '09 Vipers were sold domestically. I love that pie chart. It's the reason most of us...

    NOS OCTANE BOOSTER... Who uses it?

    Exactly. It's widely (near universally) used for watercraft, as many are summer-only and have to suffer long storage periods. I use StaBil in my boat and my WaveRunners... conventional wisdom is to treat and keep a full tank when you're storing the vehicle, to minimize condensation from dead air.

    That is frickin' priceless!

    NOS OCTANE BOOSTER... Who uses it?

    There's no need for it in your case. You have a (mostly) stock car and you're not pushing it. Use the recommended octane from the pump (insert argument over "best gas" vendor here). One thing you can do, if you're storing the car for more than a month or so, is add some Stabil to your gas...

    In that location I like the simple Mopar "M" that I've seen on several Vipers...

    2006 Gen 3: Red Top vs Yellow Top Optima Battery

    This can occur if you have a charger that has multiple settings. For example, full charging of an (AGM) Optima Yellow I own only occurs if I tell the charger it's an AGM battery... otherwise, it will charge to something like 70% and stop. Just an idea...

    Viper Magazine is NOT a huge suckfest

    My shipping envelope was partially torn open, but contents were fine. This is my first Viper mag and I'm enjoying it... except to see that Jeff Dunham is driving my car. D'oh! For the mag itself, I see good content, high quality materials, nice photography and printwork... well done. And...
