    My Mopar ECU Reprogrammed

    I'm interested what shop did it too. I have a Venom programmer sitting on the shelf and never put it in because I did not want to take it to the dealer. BTW, are you coming to the detail clinic on 04MAY? I'd love to hear a GENIV with headers.

    Modena vs Gen4.

    I agree with everyone who says people tend to love the Viper. However, I was on the way home this Sat from the local C&C and was at a stop light in my Viper with my father next to me in his 458 Spyder and a group of guys in the left turning lane hung out the window and yelled "smoke his aXX...

    2009 ACR at Maple Grove today

    Now you have a starting point! You'll get better the more you go. You definitely need to get the 60' down. One thing I've seen with the Vette groups is the effects of fresh clutch fluid on your 60'. Flush your clutch fluid before going back. Lex and the crew do a good job @ Maple Grove...

    Best way to keep GEN 2 rims clean and shiny?

    Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner is a new product and is amazing at removing brake dust. You can actually see the color change to know it's working. Works great on paint too! Read the detailed description: http://stores.shopthompsonracing.com/-strse-300/Adam%27s-Deep-Wheel-Cleaner/Detail.bok

    Does anyone have a recomendation for a mini polisher/buffer?

    For any small jobs, I have a Porter Cable 7424XP and the 4" Pad adapter. I use Adam's 4" Focus Pads. There is also a straight chuck adapter for a drill, but you need to be careful using a non-orbitting machine like a drill. You have the potential of heating the paint and burning through...

    New Viper vs New Vette at NY Auto Show...

    If they can keep the price down on the Viper, it will be a hit. Learn a lesson from VW, no one will pay $100k for a Phaeton because it's a VW. Put a Bentley emblem on it and people will buy it. Corvettes and Vipers shouldn't be over $100k. My father's had a Corvette since 1974, so I am...

    Modena vs Gen4.

    He brings it out to our local C&C, but it might be hard to get him to drive to WC. 202 is such a POS road! My Viper bottomed out the entire run.

    Modena vs Gen4.

    I haven't owned a 360, but my father recently picked up a 458 Spider and it is an unbelieveable car! I love my GenIV Viper, but the 458 is a space ship. They might not have as much power as the Viper, but they lay it down. The car is 180degrees from the Viper. It is so sophisticated, you...

    Diesel Dodge tuned to 1,100 hp smokes a Viper — and the crowd

    Quick truck for sure! Scott's correct, there are a lot of fast trucks in our area. My truck was 800whp (before the 40" mudders!) and I drove it every day, towed trailers with it. The truck in the video was a full race truck. The guy I got my tunes from ran a best of 9.36 in a streetable...

    Adam's Detail Clinic @ Thompson Racing 04MAY2013

    Our new shop is a few minutes down the street from the old shop, but it is conveniently 4 miles from the PA Turnpike. This makes it a lot more accessable than the old shop. Being close to the Turnpike means it is surrounded by many hotels and restaurants, as well as a few local attractions...

    Having a custom steering wheel built, need advise

    I have a carbon/suede wheel in my DD truck and a full suede wheel in my Viper. I wrapped the center airbag myself as well as the clamshell. It's a B*tch to wrap!!! I like the full suede wheel much better than the carbon/suede. The suede gives a much better grip. I had a full suede wheel in...

    Video: Tesla Model S Electric Car vs Dodge Viper

    Exactly what I've been saying! If I blow up the motor in my Viper, it can be melted down and recycled. Not so with batteries. All of these Toyota Prius' are going to make a mess for our environment. That said, an electric dragster (there are a few in progress) will be a huge advantage in...

    Video: Tesla Model S Electric Car vs Dodge Viper

    What year Viper? If it's a GenIII, it's a 10 year old car. If it's a GenIV, it's a 5 year old car. Compare apples to apples and put it against the GenV. Teslas look like neat cars, I'm just not a fan of battery power. Every battery powered tool I own dies gradually within a few years.

    Junkman, Any advice for graduating from PC7424 to a Flex3401?

    Congrats on the purchase! The Flex is an amazing machine! You definitely need to respect edges and high spots. That said, I have never damaged paint with a Flex and have worked many shows with it, allowing even children to use the Flex. Also, I use the Adam's pads and they work fantastic...

    went to the drag strip (pics)

    Looks like you were hanging out with the Al Anabi Crew! They put up some fast times on that track. Looks like Kalid on the starting line in the sweatshirt. Good to see you were in the 10s, congrats!

    GEN V pics!

    I hate seeing strollers at car shows. You are just asking to damage a car. Same thing as shopping carts. Not that I don't like kids, I can just see an accident waiting to happen.

    GEN V pics!

    The GenV looks amazing! I def like the SRT hood better. Should have been on the GTS. What is wrong with people today? Why would you bring a baby stroller into a showroom? To make it worse, they had a little kid pushing it around. I don't care if it's the owner's kids, it's unacceptable!!

    Anyone seen this before? How do I get rid of it?

    Claybar will remove any sediment on the paint, but you will most likely have to use a polish. I've had good luck with Adam's Revive Polish for removing water stains. If it does not come out with Revive, I move on the the next agressive step. No matter who's system you use, start with the...
