    5 spokes to CalChrome

    I sent my 10 spokes and tires to them on Monday. Yep - packing and hauling them to Fedex sucked.

    Chrysler Faces Criticism for Full-Page 'Thank You' Ads

    I wonder if we'll start to see outrage at racing sponsorhships such as NASCAR. Car makers claim that racecar sponsorship is a form of advertising.

    Odd wheel fitment question.

    I'm thinking about sending my stock wheels in for chroming. I have a pair of drag wheels that I can put on the car during the chroming process so I'll only have to leave one end of the car up on jack stands. I'd rather leave the back on stands versus the front. Does anyone know if rear...

    painted airbox

    I had the bottom of mine painted and air brushed 3 years ago. Don't know how it was prepped or what kind of paint but it's been issue-free.

    Are these off of a Viper?

    The car might not make it to Texas without those bolts installed.

    Are these off of a Viper?

    I was going thru by box of stuff that I've taken off my car for mods and such. Came across these bolts. If they came off my SRT-10, then I have no idea what they're for. Anybody recognize them?

    What year is the best one to own?

    If Gen-2, then I say 1999. This year came with the larger wheels but is not affected by the EPA mandated engine de-tuning that came in 2000. Not much collectibility for 1999 either so it's a good year to buy as a driver. No ABS for 1999 however.

    My Brother got bit...looking for SRT-10:

    I mentioned in another thread that if I sold my 2005 yellow vert today that I would take 41K but that it's not for sale right now. I didn't mention that my asking price will drop $750 each month as value goes down and loan principle goes down. This time next year I might be selling. This...

    Guys with X Metal TB experience, opinions

    I don't have any before/after, but with the t-body I was at 470whp and 505wtq. Basically nothing else besides t-body, cat-back, and green filters. Even if the t-body does nothing, it's worth it just because it looks cool. I was surpised and how much better the whole engine looks with just a...

    Dyno in MD?

    Tempest Racing in Mechanicsville, Md. (2 miles from Maryland International Raceway). They've done my car a couple times so they know exactly how to hook up a Viper. Tempest Racing - (301) 290-0330

    Is 49K for 05 too much to pay for?

    I have a 2005 yellow with 19,000 miles. If I sold it today, I would sell it for $41,000 not shipped. Mine's not for sale though right now.

    Tire hardness

    For the hell of it I bought one of those tire durometers that measure rubber hardness. Below are the readings. Stock run flats loose. BGF drag radials - 52 Stock run flats - 80 Kumhos on my daily driver - 72

    Looking to get a Viper

    If you want a car to drive versus collect, my choice would be a 1999. The engine changes that came into play in 2000 are considered undesireable by many. Also - 1999 was the year that wheels went from 17" to 18". The 1999 also had some tweeks to the interior.

    Another "hanging idle" fixed

    Had my intake and TB off to install plug wires earlier in the week. Upon reassembly, I had the dreaded "hanging idle" that others have reported. I remember reading here that Chuck Tator recommends periodic cleaning of the IAC motor. I pulled mine off and found that it was pretty dirty and...

    Removing SRT-10 intake manifold

    I reused o-rings and intake gaskets. No issues so far. The intake gaskets have little "nubs" that go into the top of the head to keep it from shifting when placing on the intake. I broke off one of the "nubs" but no big deal.

    Removing SRT-10 intake manifold

    That is correct in accordance with the service manual. Not a fun job. Might as well put the box of bandaids in the garage. You'll need them.

    Removing SRT-10 intake manifold

    For any of you folks who have removed your intake, do you remember what tool(s) or techniques you used to reach the next to the last rear bolt on the driver's side? It's not the very last one under the wiper cowl but it's next to last one down inside the valley. I was able to break it...

    EBC Reds Squeal Like a Pig..Is it normal?

    Even though I "bedded" all the pads I used on the Viper, I have to wonder if bedding is just a myth or what. If it was necessary, then who "beds" the pads on new cars? Nobody does, yet 99.9% of all cars drive down the road squeak-free.
