    Is Mobile One 15W50 OK in a Viper?

    I use it for track events. I do my April change with 15W50 and use it for changes all through the summer. I do my November change and subsequent winter changes with 10W30.

    Alignment Settings...RESULTS

    You are a little more aggressive in the rear with those settings and the toeout up front will really make the car want to seek every rut in the road. My 96 RT had and now my 00 GTS has a moderately aggressive setup that doesnt seek too badly on the street, and works well enough on the track...

    Anyone tow with a V8 Explorer before????

    Open or closed trailer, steel or aluminum. Closed trailer also have to consider drag. If you don't have already, get weight distributing hitch and sway control. My 5.9 Durango was rated around 8500lbs but did not handle my closed trailer well, my open trailer was no problem. I picked up a...

    Looking for encouragement.

    I try to do as much of the mechanical work on my car as I can, but the first attempt on a new area is always intimidating. Has anyone here ever done their own radiator emptying, Sean Roe Hose install, and radiator refill on a Gen 2. It does not seem like something requiring an engineering...

    Rookie Viper Days / Putnam Park Experience

    CT, the maintenance part is a good point. I come to Viper Days not only to improve my driving, but also to learn how to take care of and work on the car. I have never had any tech, mechanic, or vendor say no when I asked a question. The amount of knowledge available at the events is...

    Road course tips needed!

    I too will differ with GTS Bruce. Until you have experience do not ask the tires to do more than one thing at a time. One of the quickest ways to exceed the slip angle of your tires is to ask them to turn and brake. Brake in a straight line, and as you squeeze on the accelerator through a...

    Archer Shocks/Springs

    When I sold my 96 RT/10 I pulled the Archer Racing revalved Koni shocks and Eibach springs I had on it and put the stock sets back on. Can I use the modified set of shocks/springs on my 00 GTS or will the modified dampening and new spring rates be wrong for the car?

    Rookie Viper Days / Putnam Park Experience

    After Putnam I would recommend Brakeman 3's. I had stoptech rotors but the stock pads just would not cut it. I had the 3's put on and the difference was incredible. Entering turn one I could hit the binders at the 200 foot point running 125 and slow to 80 by the 100 foot point, the front...

    Mobil 1

    Went to buy oil for GTS today. The Mobil One was sporting new names. The 15w50 was touted as the one to use for "Amateur Racing", allegedly providing more protection than the 5w30 listed as being for "newer engines". Whatcha all think, is there a benefit in going 15w50 for Track use?

    A tactical omission.

    I remember the good ole days of cast vs forged. Flaming file folders highlighting the war of good vs evil, forged pistons vs cast. I sit here reading my new issue of Viper Magazine. The article "More Horses For The Snake" dutifully describing the powerplant we anxiously await in our new...

    Used Vipers soft on the Market?

    Supply and Demand. I could buy an F50 for $10,000 if an owner is willing to part it with for that much.

    VOI Display and Today's (final) Supercharger Test

    Re: VOI Display and Today\'s (final) Supercharger Test Sean, For all us weekend mechanics, can you make the install manual available on your website for download so we can see what is involved. This sounds like a simple enough job I could handle it, but then I have erred before.

    will a durango pull a viper ?

    Been there, do that. 2001 Durango, 5.9, towing package, 20' enclosed trailer (steel frame), 1000 lb weight distributing hitch, anti sway, electric traler brakes. I haul my 2000 GTS. GTSBruce, Have you done it? Not sure I would count on the truck forum. Chances are more of us on a sports car...
