    INTRAX or Partsrack Caps which would be better to lower SRT.

    I have the Partsrack Caps, Dan Cragin did the install back in Oct 05. It seem to lower the front more than the back, buy may just be my imagination. The ride is not much different, maybe a bit stiffer but more than manageable. I like the caps, very similar to stock caps just lower profile. No...

    Spun Out Last Night

    I just finished up the SRT Track experience with Skip Barbers racing team, they did talk alot about weight transfer. Based on your description, hitting the breaks lightened up the backend sigfnicantly. The quick turn with the weight now distributed on the front caused the oversteer and broke the...

    SRT Track Experience

    I spent the weekend at Infineon Raceway driving the SRT lineup. I haven't seen many posts on this subject so I thought this was a good opp to share some highlights. First, this was a great driving experience; although there wasn't a ton of 1:1 driving with instructors, the opp to drive the SRT...

    Corsa vs Mopar Racing Exhaust Test

    I believe the Mopar race exhaust was designed/built by Borla. Borla used my 03 SRT to build the first prototype, the Mopar engineering team was at the Borla plant - my car and Dan Cragin's comp coupe were used to design the exhaust systems. I liked the exhaust but the tip was not as clean as...

    IF YOUR BUYING A COUPE GOOD IDEA TO WAIT

    Chris, Very well said. I could have bought any generation Viper and chose the SRT10. I paid sticker through Bill P. back in May 2003 and would do it again in a heartbeat. The car is phenomenal from all angles - goes like a rocket ship, handles better than anything I've driven and still turns...

    What have I done!

    I drove my car once in the rain, spun it into a curb. :mad: There were a couple of posts on this topic, so it might help to do a search. I found the runflats to be especially slick when cold, once my car broke loose there was no way I could get it back, and I wasn't going very fast. I would...

    SRT Lowering Kits

    Here is a picture of my car with the spring caps installed. Not a great picture, will get some more posted later today. Dan said the car handles great, really easy install. I am anxious to take it out for a spin, have another surprise under the hood waiting to be unleashed - second picture. I...

    '06 SRT Coupe w/ 2700 Miles is HOME!

    Re: \'06 SRT Coupe w/ 2700 Miles is HOME! Jon, Great story, it's nice to see the first one out of the gate get a good road test. Sounds like the co-pilot spent most of his time driving during the break in period :ooo: Now that you are back to work, please ship my Spring Caps that I...

    SRT Lowering Kits

    I spoke to my viper tech today, he noted lowering the car can cause the stock dynamic shocks to leak. Does anyone have hard evidence of this problem when lowering the car 1/2"? I am planning to order the PartRack shock mount kit on Frid, and from what I understand a pretty straight forward...

    SRT Lowering Kits

    My car is with Dan Cragin now getting some work done to it. I will have him investigate the shock mount kit. Sounds like that is the least intrusive and will get the results I am looking for. If I do proceed I will have Dan post some pictures and feedback on the install. I am most concerned...

    SRT Lowering Kits

    Does anyone know if there is a lowering kit for Gen 3 Vipers? I do not want Motons, just a simple spring or bushing change that brings the car down 1/2-1" or so. I am not looking to change handling characteristics, more just looks to get the car down on the wheels. Any suggestions would be...

    2003 SRT10 Clutch problems with only 4K miles

    I feel better just knowing I am not alone with this issue. It seemed really peculiar, but understand these cars can be temperamental. Hope this is a one-time fix and I get a reasonable life out of the next clutch assembly. I would like to see DC pay attention to these types of issues going...

    2003 SRT10 Clutch problems with only 4K miles

    I am the only owner, actually bought the car from you Bill :-). I did have an alluminum flywheel installed over six months ago, Dan Cragin did the work. The dealer looked at the flywheel assembly and said it was done perfectly. It seemed odd that there were hot spots on the clutch plate itslef...

    2003 SRT10 Clutch problems with only 4K miles

    Was curious if other SRT10 owners had trouble with pressure plate in clutch? My car has 4400 miles, original tires with tons of tread left and now a new clutch assembly. The pressure plate got out of alignment and hosed the clutch disk. The dealer found several hot spots, but really couldn't...

    I CRASHED MY 04 VIPER

    I can relate to this, got back from vacation in Jan and snuck the snake out between rain storms. Walked out of the gym and saw it was raining. On the way home I shifted from first to second without alot of power and the backend broke loose. Snapped the car left, steered it back and it spun...

    best tire pressure for SRT?

    Quick question for those on this thread - I had a nail removed from my rear tire, service guy said no leak. The next morning tire was flat, are these runflats repairable or should I get a new tire? If I get it repaired, is it better to plug from outside or patch from inside? I am cautious about...

    Mopar Performance Exhaust

    Do you have a link that shows the system? My car was one of I believe two used to develop the cat back exhuast for Borla. I am curious if Borla/Mopar removed the crossover in their production system. I had the crossover put back on my car due to exhaust volume (db). I do have the Borla mufflers...
