    SRT Oil Capacity?

    I think that the discrepancy comes in when a "new" oil filter gets filled with oil for the first time. It sucks up about a quart, necessitating the need for one more quart (making it 11 quarts). Maybe I'm full of it, but that would be my best guess. I ended up putting 11 quarts in for my last...

    VOI 8 ????????????????????????????????????/

    For that matter, nobody ever brings up Miami. We have a zillion hotels on Miami Beach that could handle the group, two great race tracks closeby and enough women, beaches, and clubs to keep the entire group happy.

    Any cool Garages out there?

    OOOppps...sorry Jerry, I just noticed you have florescent lights. The change would be worth it if you are ever so inclined. The cars look so much softer and like they are in your living room when under dimmed incandescent lighting.

    Any cool Garages out there?

    It seems that a lot of guys want nice garages (duh), so here's my .02 as far as bang for the buck. Get the right lighting in your garage from the start. You can always redo the floor or the walls, but once the wiring is in for the lights, it's a major job to change it. Use either incandescent or...

    SRT's in SOUTH FL that need warranty work

    SRT\'s in SOUTH FL that need warranty work Anyone in South Florida that has an SRT-10 that needs any warranty issues squared away, please let me know. You can email me directly at [email protected]. I believe that I may be able to arrange to get the issues straighted out in a fashion that will...

    Any cool Garages out there?

    OK Jerry, you're pushing me to improve my garage to greater heights. Your garage is spectacular. It offers aspects that are different than mine. I used lifts to maximize the number of cars I could put in the garage. Doing that always compromises the "look" of the garage, but what else could I...

    Straight from PVO! Headlight Flickering Details.

    Guys, I am not kissing PVO ass here. When I don't like something I speak up, but some of you have to get over whether PVO kisses YOUR ass enough. You have to remember that PVO is an elite division of DC, created to satisfy a VERY SMALL group of performance freaks. They sell 1700 Vipers a...

    VOI 8 ????????????????????????????????????/

    After this last weekend, I would have to agree that Atlanta would be a good spot. The hotel that Pete set up (forgot the name) is ultra posh, reasonably priced and very close to Road Atlanta. Just a thought.

    SE Zone Rendevous Champions

    Pete, Your club is lucky to have you as the president. You did a GREAT job organizing the weekend. It was indeed a mini VOI. I'm glad that we had an opportunity to meet and know that I'll be seeing a lot more of you and your group in the coming days.

    Southeast RENDEZVOUS....WOW

    Re: Southeast roundevous....WOW Tony, Remind me to never play cards against you again. You were not only hot on the track (fastest autocross time) but were on fire at the blackjack tables. Why don't you come out to Viper Days? I think that you'd do really well.

    First time seat set-up for Competition Coupes

    Hemidaytna, Tom Sessions is probably closest to you. He's in North Carolina and often posts on these pages. He is certainly qualified to put the passenger seat in.

    Race Deck Garage Floors - Anyone have one?

    John, I'd love to see your floor. I'll come up with Bill whenever he goes. Bill, come to my house and let me know when you're going to John's.

    Most of the Florida posse is headed up to SE rondevous on Thrusday

    Dave Ivler, Ivan Ho and I are already on the road on the way to Atlanta (we're going the long way just for the drive). We left Miami on Tuesday. Hope to see all of you up there.

    Damn it!!

    It seems that the price of used Vipers has come down a bit recently (along with all other used cars). An alternative is to purchase a good clean used GTS and put a FEW dollars into it making it a track car. That way you can make all the mods you want to and not have to worry about driveability...

    Replacing mufflers with glass packs....

    Mach, How do the Cherry Bombs sound different than a straight pipe? Is it louder or is it a different sound?

    Damn it!!

    Guys...here's the GOOD news...you can buy yourself a CC. It's not like they are a million dollars. Buy one and bring it to Viper Days. If you are not yet ready to race in the VRL....spend a year in the Challenge Series doing timed events until you're confident enough to go wheel to wheel. It...

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    I've said this before, but I think that it deserves repeating on this string. The bulk of the complaints from the Viper faithful about the SRT have to do with the "mainstreaming" of its looks. The RT-10 and GTS are both so very radical. It's what initially attracted us to the cars. The SRT-10...

    How to drive a race car?

    I've ready BOTH Speed Secrets and Going Faster. Each one is great on its own. For me, I found that reading them AGAIN after you have some on track instruction and seat time will really make the points sink in. Reading it kind of connects the dots on everything that has been taught to you on the...

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    Thank you Ron. You just made my case. Refinement doesn't equal the raw appeal of a car. The Cobra in it's day was not as refined as a Ferrari, Aston martin, Alfa Romeo, or XK-E, yet it is the car that we all admire most. Nobody denys improvements for the purposes of performance, however, BWright...

    Bill, Hans, how about right after the regional VOI? Are you guys going? Why don't you drive up with Dave Ivler, Ivan and me? We're making a nice trip out of it and leave Tuesday Sept. 23. I'll be home Sept. 30. You guys can come to the house anytime you want from Oct. 1-16. Just let me know...

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    BWright, Clearly you have never owned a Viper. Frankly, I would be surprised if you have ever ridden in one. To take it a step further, I don't think that you own a performace car or ever have. The reason that I say this is that you seem to lack the basic understanding of what makes people...
