    Carbon fiber chin spoiler for SRT 10

    I finally found a front spoiler for the SRT 10 that looks nice (www.startech-usa.com, q.v.). I called to inquire, and was told the price was $1,800.00 (firm). Huh?? Check it out if you're rich, it is good looking. Thet also have gorgeous wheels, but you will need to be ready to step up to 20"...

    Ford GT vs SRT 10

    Supercar status, in the end, will not have been attained by the Ford GT. Although lacking credentials in this market, Ford intended to create a car granting it instant access to this rarified territory. This would have been a lot of fun, finally seeing an American car included in the ranks of...

    Copperhead Pics

    Yes it does, and your pictures capture this better than most. As a fellow Copperhead owner I can tell you to expect lots of positive comments on the beauty and complexity of the color. When seen in person, shades of orange, red, and gold are apparent. This is a picture of mine taken recently...

    Lighweight flywheel on SRT with Paxton

    I appreciate the responses. This is the type of information I was looking for. It would be nice to drive a lightweight flywheel-equipped Viper first, and then decide. Perhaps someone will let me drive their car at the Southwest Zone Rendezvous this month, or the Midwest Zone Rendezvous later...

    Lighweight flywheel on SRT with Paxton

    Thanks for the responses. I spoke with a Viper engineer at VOI 8. He said the only reason for the stock cast iron f/w is for warranty protection from owners who abuse the car by dumping the clutch at high rpm, etc. He also recommended changing to a lighter flywheel for performance improvement...

    Re: New SRT-10, added Paxton ans Moton\'s. Truly remarkable.. After preparing a frozen entree in the microwave, I wander outside to better appreciate the beautiful day. The dulcet sound of gentle sniffing catches my attention, and turning I see my dog Caleb attempting to enjoy my turkey...

    $100,1HOUR,HOWTO/MUST DO,SPEAKER UPGRADE(PICS)

    I yanked those Polk speakers out of my SRT 10 last week ...so I can put them in the new SRT 10 next week! Tom, the speakers are a suprisingly good upgrade for the price. BTW, had a good chat with Bill Kalin from Woodhouse when he picked up my Viper on Friday. Said he enjoyed delivering your...

    Lighweight flywheel on SRT with Paxton

    Dmitry, At these power levels, I'm not convinced l/w fw is as critical as on lower power applications. For reference, we recently (3/05) installed McCleod clutch and lightweight flywheel on a heavily modded 300ZX TT. This produced faster response in the lower RPM range (say to 3400 RPM or...

    What's not to love? I bought the salmon-colored car :2tu: just to get the wheels!

    Lighweight flywheel on SRT with Paxton

    Curious if anyone has done this. In particular, have you changed flywheels after supercharger was already in place? If so tell me what difference you noticed. I can have one installed for $835.00. Thanks, TD

    Copperheads are in, and HERE ARE THE PICTURES!

    Re: What Alice calls salmon colored.... Suddenly I,m concerned about eating seafood the next time I'm in Atlanta! I saw the Copperhead here in STL. The wheels seemed to be getting a lot of attention. They looked the same as the ones on the red raffle car last September. I liked them...

    SRT-10 VS NISSAN 300ZX RACE VIDEO...

    Gary, Interesting post, and thanks for including the video. Glad to know of your new found respect for your friend's 300ZX TT. The Viper becomes a target for these cars, mostly by default (ie., killing another Corvette etc. becomes boring). They are fun to tune, and the rewards are good...

    Trailers? Who do you recommend?

    Trailers? Who do you recommend?

    LittleFish, Wish your pictures wouldn't have come up - now I'm jealous! Really, that looks great, plus you have some storage space. I would prefer enclosed like yours, just no place to keep it until new house is built. You obviously copied my MGW liscence frame.

    Trailers? Who do you recommend?

    DJ, Yes, I meant 17 feet. That was the longest Featherlite available when I purchased last summer (they also made a smaller, 14 foot version). I have also wondered about the possibility of adding a tire rack. I think you can see from the picture I posted above that there is not much room for a...

    Trailers? Who do you recommend?

    Viper X, Good qq. What does the "X" mean? J/K :D Above F'lite 17" x8'6" Air dam and winches available. Jon Brobst @ PartsRack has front-mount tow hooks, q.v. Elec. brakes std. on Featherlite. Must have Dodge Diesel to purchase Featherlite. Failing that, consider Exiss...

    Trailers? Who do you recommend?

    Featherlite makes a flatbed that works well: Depends on what you need/want out of your trailer.

    Why Is This Section So Lame???

    Craig, Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think you meant to say "strengths" (ie. the plural) in the above sentence. Just wanted to help.

    Lost Cats and emission testing

    Anyone have experience with emission testing after removal of secondary catalytic converters? This has a significant effect on sound of car (much positive input, but certainly too noisy for many). I read this has little effect on emissions, but would like to hear more.

    Towing the Viper to VOI 8 Some questions

    Sam, You have me thinking again about better ways to place my car on the trailer, viz. loading backwards, unattached. Anchoring to frame is best, as you are saying, with straps crossed F&R. I purchased axle straps, but didn't use them. Adjusting those brakes can be tricky, if I flat spot...

    Is Orange going to be produced?

    As a regular viewer of the nature channel and Animal Planet, I am concerned about this color being used on a car named 'viper'. This is unnatural, and prospective owners should be aware that an "orange mamba" does not exist on this planet. My unwavering devotion to Dodge/Mopar notwithstanding...

    Towing the Viper to VOI 8 Some questions

    [These guys/club and web site are great..... and they like Torque as much as Viper owners! They are as fanatical about their trucks as we are about our snakes. No doubt!

    Towing the Viper to VOI 8 Some questions

    Dealer: Gateway Metal Works, www.gatewaytrailers.com 1-888-671-0888 Didn't look in to wheel options, but manual list lug nut torque numbers for both steel and aluminum wheels, so probably available. They do have optional winch and stone guard.

    Towing the Viper to VOI 8 Some questions

    Sam, thank you for the good info. never thought of loading backwards, but obvious benefit in adjusting tongue weight. This is guess-work without a scale, and I didn't find one. My two difficulties were: 1) Where do I put the car? I ended up leveling the flatbed and the axles... 2) How do I...
