    1/4 Mile Times (getting better)

    2Tall: He's probably at least 5000 feet above sea level in Colorado. That puts him at an equivalent of 12.4 - 12.5 seconds.

    How wide will the SRT-10 be?

    Motor Trend's June Issue states the width at 78.1" (about 3" wider than a Gen II), but matches the Press Kit's length and height at 175.5' and 47.6" repectively.

    what's the top speed you've hit on the streets ?

    Re: what\'s the top speed you\'ve hit on the streets ? I pulled this data off the Silver State Classic (Nevada) Website for last May's event: This is my highest "clocked speed" on a public road to date, since exceeding tech speed = disqualification. My speedo may have crept higher at other...

    Wipers go on when I shut down the engine..help!

    Here's a post I did last year regarding the same type problem. There are some good tips from Jon B. and others. At the end, I said I would advise the outcome. The outcome was that it never happened again (9 months ago), so I didn't take it to the dealer. Hopefully it will not occur again. Good...

    Right window noisy at speed

    Markus: Can you share any more details on how the door needs to be adjusted? Several of us Viper guys at the recent Nevada Open Road Challenge (Silverstate) noted the same thing. At about 155mph and up, the right window starts howling -- The right window on 3 different cars. Why the right one...

    Do you wonder if the Kuhmos Tires WORK?

    Alternative: I trailer mine, but the Purners are streetable. Don't follow close on the freeway though, because the "skinnies" are not very good for bringing the car to a stop. If you the get slicks, invest in Unitrax half shafts.

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    I await the real testing and feedback after the car hits the streets. Change is always interesting. However, I don't admire the looks.

    Free 1/4 mile runs at Irwindale??

    Irwindale is an 1/8th mile track. Good fun, although it cost me $20 when I went on Sunday. Also, there was some pretty loud cars there. I run high flow cats/headers and am quieter than many of them. Noise is not a problem. I did take a helmet cause they scrutinize the faster cars a little more...

    Anybody else get a brochure from Mopar to get Gen 1 and Gen 2 accessories now?

    I received a nice Mopar Parts letter. With the great 10% discount parts offer (off full DC List price), we can all stock up on crate motors, hoods and side sills. This must be a welcome thing to read, if you just took delivery on a 2002 model.

    Do I need a "trap door" oil pan???

    Re: Do I need a \"trap door\" oil pan??? Ron: It is cheap insurance. I had it put in by Said at Star Viper Inc. in Anaheim (714 6329990). He modified my existing pan.

    Lost to a

    Joe: I wish I could do 109 in the 1/8th. LACR is at 2710 feet elevation and I only run about a 95 (1/8th) at sea level, so it's either an error or it is at the 1000 ft. mark (although the 1/8th mile ET is about right). Trey: I have Borla headers/exhaust, high flow cats, lighter flywheel, 3:45...

    Lost to a

    .....well it sorta looked like one. At the LA County drags this weekend there was a small turn out of Vipers, so they paired me up with a Stingray. The smoke in the picture was from his burnout, not mine. I had the better reaction time, but somehow it just made no difference. While I was rowing...

    Where to dyno in Riverside, Ca.?

    If you strike out in the Riverside area, you can get it done in Torrance at R&D Dyno 310 5161003 (Darren). It is $75.

    Will the OEM Chrysler locking gas cap fit on Viper GTS?

    Wow! In that large sea of Hyundais and Kias, your car is really gonna get attention. My Samsung customers went nuts when they saw mine over here. Shouldn't be any problem being "King of the Hill". Happy driving

    Southern California 1/8 mile Drag Strip

    Joe: It hooks right up. I should have mentioned that I have the Unitrax half shafts and 3:45 gears. Fortunately for me Unitrax is only a few miles from my house, so the install was easy. Some people get by with stock shafts, but I highly recommend the upgrade if you go to slicks. I bought my...

    Southern California 1/8 mile Drag Strip

    Joe: I ran ET Street Drag Slicks/Skinnies. I also have ran about 2 second 60 ft. times when on street tires. Mods are Borla Headers/Catbacks. Slicks give you about 1/2 second, so you're right in there (about same Mph). I did a couple of higher speed runs with a slower ET. This was my first...

    Southern California 1/8 mile Drag Strip

    I went to the fairly new Irwindale 1/8 mile Drag Strip this weekend which is conveniently located for many of us SoCal folks. It turned out to be uncrowded, and to be a good practice track. I got in 6 runs in under 2 hours and could have ran at least a dozen if I stayed for the whole day. You...

    SoCal (OC and LA County), help....

    When people pay $70-$90K for a Dodge, they don't want to play email and phone tag for Service. If someone is away, busy or whatever, it should not affect the interaction with the customer and a satisfactory result. This has been my only gripe with Viper ownership. For any other car I have ever...

    Which GPS for Silver State?

    Which GPS units are favored by "Silver Staters"? Built-in, Portable, or Hand-held? Magellan, Garmin, or ??? Info I've gathered seems more focused on navigating the Freeways. I would appreciate some recommendations.
