    Satisfaction level with your SRT 10

    Nice summary! Accurate too, although for me I would give comfort a 3, drivability a 5, and status symbol an N/A.

    Satisfaction level with your SRT 10

    I give my Viper Tech, Jeff Sherwin at Jerry's Dodge in Springfield, VA, a 5 (on a 1-to-five scale)! :2tu: As for my Viper build quality experience... History: let's not go there. Current car: 5 :D Thanks Jeff!

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    Unless you get a used Valentine, I think you have to pay the MSRP since I don't think Valentine uses distributors (i.e., you have to buy it from the "M" that made the "S" regarding the "RP"). Then again, I could be wrong. In all likelihood, once you use a Valentine, you'll never go back --...

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    Yea! I like the looks of it more than my '04, which I like quite a bit (although I do personally prefer a convertible for the driving experience, looks aside). And as for performance, it comes strong stock and, perhaps more importantly, has LOTS of potential for performance mods. If...

    Any news from you Gen III guys about sticky 19" rubber?

    Re: Any news from you Gen III guys about sticky 19 I actually called Michelin this morning, again, to ask, again, about whether or not the Pilot Sport Cups would be coming out in 345-30-19s this year. Reply: "No word yet, but we should be getting the word on new sizes within the next four...

    Motons On the Way

    We appreciate your providing all this valuable feedback Kai! As for me, you just moved Motons to the top of my next-mods list. :2tu: Thanks!

    Anyone try Michelin PS2

    Looks like you're going to lose an inch of width off each of the rears. If zero pressure is your only issue with the stock tires, why not just get the non-zero pressure Pilot Sports in stock sizes and save your wheel purchase for dedicated track tires?

    Thanks for the feedback Kai. Have you noticed any change in wheel hop?

    Just Installed Northwind 1"

    Re: Just Installed Northwind 1 That one inch does indeed make all the difference! It's nice to feel as if you're below the roll bars, actually in the car and looking through the middle of the windshield (and I'm only 5'9"). Thank you NWE! I also agree that the spring wire should be replaced...

    Torque Specs for Lug Nuts

    I just called Sloan Kwikload trailers. In response to my question "What's the torque specs for the wheel lugs?" the guy on the phone said in a Texas drawl "Just as tight as you can get 'em." Hehe.

    I got scammed on E-BAY

    That's no doubt true of some suppliers, but not all. JonB has talked me out of buying lots of stuff I didn't actually need, just like he's doing in the post above with respect to the skipshift device. The resulting trust is one of the reasons I keep going back to PartsRack.

    Car Cover and Front Bra

    I bought my cover through PartsRack and have been extremely please with it. Very high quality, perfect fit and great price too. You know you can't use a bra on the track, right?

    Torque Specs for Lug Nuts

    How timely, I was going to ask the same question today, since I received a Griot's Garage torque wrench from my wife for Christmas (yes, I provided a list this year after receiving a picnic basket last time, hehe). I looked it up last night in the 04 shop manual, and it too states 90 ft.lb. or...

    Color Mock Ups, SRT-10 Bashing, Viper Views & Opinions

    Scott, To me the Gen III Viper looks best in black, although I’m very partial to graphite as well. The dark metallic red below (which is actually linked to one of the pictures in one of your posts on this board) is stunning also, as would be a midnight blue or Montigo Blue I think. I’m not...

    Locked out, Help

    Try pushing in hard on the door near the handle when turning the key in the scallop. It's a little tricky at first, and always requires that you push in the door, but it is mechanical and it will work.

    The Dozen Things That I Learned in 2004

    16. Where you can stop, shop or dine is entirely dependent upon the availability of spacious parking and, if you're going to be there a while, a line-of-sight view from inside.

    Autoform Rollbar

    Yea, the install is an all-day job. I'm jealous too, since it would be nice to see out the rear view mirror again. Looks great and congrats on your new potential to survive a rollover and on your ability to get on the track without a bolt-on hard top!
