    When hitting brake pedal , does anyone

    Yup, frequently hit the wipers. Yup, hit the gas when hitting the brake. Especially when applying brakes too rapidly (quickly hitting ABS). The pedal seems to sink faster and farther. When tracking, I apply more gradually as the Viper seems to stop harder with less brake pedal travel. I...

    Custom Gen-3 Dry Sump System, Who is interested?

    Same for me. I am assuming the solution will not require the CC oil pan?

    Washing Viper

    That's great! This no washing amazes me! But unfortunately, I'm always needing water to keep clean. For six months of the year I am constantly hydrating/scrubbin bug guts off my front, mirrors, and even the sides. Either you got no bugs where you live, or our driving style (speeds) are...

    Engine rebuild updates??

    Thanks for the all the valuable info and responses. One last question. With hind-sight, was there any behavior that was exhibited before the total engine failure that might have hinted of a wounded motor?

    Engine rebuild updates??

    Kai, Do you believe the CC oil pickup works as intended?

    Wheel Hop

    I understand the desire for smoke and lines. It is part of the image. Just an idea . . . Maybe putting an extra 100-150lbs in the trunk to help compress the rear a bit?

    Baseline Dyno Results - How do I rate?

    All depends on the individual dyno. Ask the shop that measured you if they have any other stock GenIII Vipers pulls on file and compare against that. That's what I did. It showed mine was pulling slightly stronger than the others with DynoJet 460rwhp. Also take note that the tuning will...

    Wheel Hop

    Question for those that feel wheel hop is a real problem for the SRT-10 : a.) The problem is hop interrupts a much desired smokey burnout? b.) The problem is hop makes you slower? I would think that (a) must be addressed by altering the vehicle's tires, pressures, suspension, alignments to...

    Anyone notice a bit of play in the steering?

    Nope, 11k miles and its pretty tight.
  10. Q

    front end sliding .. .. Anyone experience this ?

    Gerald, I don't get understeer on the street even when driving "aggressive". Lower speed turns with 29-31psi all around should have the car's rear "stepping out+" linked to your throttle. Only on the track after 3-4 corners do the rears start grabbing more than the fronts. If tire pressures...

    Blown Engine Diagnosis

    Last time I tracked my stock Viper with stock-pan (max oil level), I saw my oil pressure drop on a long left. Traqmate data showed average 0.90+ Gs for 5.0+ seconds. It went clearly below 25psi at ~3000rpms. Also noticed it does not recover itself immediately upon straightening. Was acting...

    New '04 has loose crank bolt- tow or drive????

    Re: New \'04 has loose crank bolt- tow or drive???? I would just tighten it up and drive it.

    Blown Engine Diagnosis

    Sorry about the bad news and I hope you get everything fixed back up quickly. I have always thought the stock bottom end on these V-10 were rock solid and good for high HP #'s (> 700). With your CC oil pan, starvation should not have been a factor right?

    Viper purchase satisfaction

    "Satisfied with minor mechanical repairs". At 100 Miles a tire pressure sensor failed. At 8000 Miles minor oil leak. 11,000 miles now.

    Insurance for motorcross events

    The track opportunities that I attend are for driver "educational" purposes. No published lap times or finishing places makes them non-competitive. I could not find anything within my auto insurance policy denying coverage for attending events that are clearly advertised as educational in...

    At what speed do you notice lift?

    I thought I read that the SRT-10’s aerodynamics created down force (unlike a vette’s positive lift). Smooth undercarriage and a functional diffuser. I always assumed this to be something that became more at increased speeds rather than transforming to lift.

    VEC-2- Feels like 50 ft lbs increase

    Curious what that number is?

    Track Tire Recommendations?

    I had an experience that might add to this very good advise : I had read up on this little oil starvation "flaw" over a year ago, and ended up feeling convinced that it should not occur on normal tracking with stock tires/suspension setup. My oil level is always carefully set to the top of the...

    Cleaning injectors

    Mine saw 182 mph (on GPS) two weeks ago. I was on the way to a track, of course. Im sure I got super clean injectors now! when you go into 5th gear at 155 mph it turns into a dog. I didn't used to believe these cars would pull the 190 mph top speed. But now I believe its possible. Curious...

    Very well said.

    Am I Missing Something

    I can agree with a Viper being easier to drive than the motorcycle.

    Gas Tank Light?

    On the street its about 4 gallons. After 20 minutes of lapping a track, its about 6 gallons.
  24. Q

    520HP AND 200 MPH

    The Viper compromised some of its aerodynamic drag coefficient for functional down force and higher engine cooling capacity. Viper is not DC's top speed vehicle, its their track toy. Pretty sure you could take any one of Mercedes high horsepower tourers (like the SL65) and uncork that...

    Know why the vettes pulled me - K&N strikes again

    I suspect your correct that the K&N's don't flow the same as the stock paper, but it will be close. K&N filters = washable instead of replacing paper elements. Smooth tube intake = more power over stock.
