    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Somebody has likely driven your car aggressively in the past, banging the 1 to 2 shift. The T-56 is pretty strong but you can hurt it if you bang gears or drop the clutch while launching with drag radials, slicks, etc. Also, if you accelerate hard or even spirited while going over bumps, you...

    Anyone have to cut aftermarket cat pipes?

    Tried many exhaust systems. Never had to cut any exhaust pipes to make them fit. Any pictures?

    Corsa Track Exhaust Sound Clips or Opinions

    The Corsa will sound a bit better IMHO, less drone, which killed my ears too. The 2.5 inch is quieter than the full 3 inch system but neither one is quiet.

    ACR fog light delete cover

    Parts Rack can get you the metal ones resonably. I'd suggest you call or email Jon B. The OE plastic ones get sand blasted pretty quickly on the track.

    OHLINS DFV vs KWs V3, my track experience.

    The older Motons and now the new MCS shocks seem to be the most "sorted out" shocks for combination Street / Track Vipers. I have about 20K track miles on 3 way Motons installed on my 09 ACR and with stiffer springs than OE ACR, they are marvelous compared to the ACR OE KW's, with OE springs...

    And the winner is!!

    Bonkers, The raffle did not have to sell out for 2nd and 3rd place prizes to be awarded but we did have to sell a minimum number of tickets, I think 1000 ticket sales was the number, which unfortunately we did not do. I guess not enough Viper owners wanted to win a Hellcat..... Hopefully our...

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    I've been told that the Mopar ATF+4 is made by Castrol.....

    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    Agree with Nine Ball. Never had any issues beating up on any Lambo or Audi on a track with TURNS in my ACR; and understeer would be the word for how they handle. They just don't turn well in my experience. Have had some challenges with some Ferrari race cars and the occasional Porsche race...

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

    Agree, very nice looking. Reminds me of when I saw the first ACR prototype at Cobo Hall. It was grey with a black center band and a red stripe. Bought one of those when they became available.

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    I've had pretty good luck with Motul Multi ATF in the track car. Factory fill seems a bit less robust.....

    2016 Viper ACR and the Nurburgring lap time...

    Don't forget the new tires Bob. Kumhos have always stuck like crazy.....though they have "corded" and "chunked" a bit more frequently when I've used them. Sure would like to see an 8 speed, paddle shifted automated trans as an option in the new ACR.....not sure how many times one shifts during...

    Exhaust upgrade advice needed

    I've tried just about every available option on my Gen III. Many are too loud for me, but I don't like loud car on the street for any period of time.....and many times the "drone" is worse than the volume if you pick the wrong set up. Running on a race track is differernt. My ACR is fairly...

    And the winner is!!

    Congratulations on the win Wendell. Nice to see you take advantage of the allocation the VCA was able to secure through Tomball Dodge, thanks to club sponsor Ben Keating, who also operates Viper Exchange. Maybe our next raffle, which is planned to be a 2016 Viper ACR, will generate more...

    Engine Hesitation

    This is another fairly simple replacement. VPA can get you the 02 sensors.....

    Engine Hesitation

    Could be all of the above. Battery first, it's easiest. Then plugs and yes, injectors need to be cleaned too. Wires are likely long dead if they are OE.....and the dreaded fuel filter can cause this too. Fule pump modules do fail over time, so lots to consider. Dan

    Viper High Speeds

    Reached 165 mph+ on the back straight at COTA during VOI 13 and 160 mph on the front straight. Only issue was poor tire balance, i.e. not the car's fault. Under regular, heavy accelleration the tires slip around on the wheels and eventually, like three sessions in, go out of balance. Wish I...

    WTB: 03 viper 18/18" wheels and suspension

    Hard to beat the MCS suspension packages. While both are very good, I'd recommend the double adjustable set up - you'll be glad you did one day.

    Brake Upgrade? Need serious recommendations

    Agree with Greg on the drilled rotors. Have seen many of them crack - not pretty. Hard to beat the Brembo rotors. They seem to last about twice as long as the Stoptechs on the track.....but they cost about twice as much.

    What did you drive before a Viper?

    Started with a hi po 289 in a 64 Falcon Sprint. Graduated to a 67 Mustang GTA with a 390 / 335 hp. Then did a few Corvettes but always wanted more. Now, 5 Vipers later (still have 3), not sure what's next ..... but don't plan to sell any Vipers soon.

    Viper plant

    A group of us may be visiting the Viper Plant around the first of May if anyone is interested. I think the Ohio group is setting this up.

    End of an Era

    We'd love to have Dick retire down here in Texas too, but somehow I think he'll stay up in the frozen north country..... We have some pretty good high speed racing here, among other things, like COTA, etc.

    Who's tried the new Hoosiers?

    Will do. Thanks Allan, Dan
