    Car and Driver sucks.

    It's not just C&D. Basically all the magazines over look the Viper in most of their comparisons. For some reason they don't like to compare it to the Vette. Maybe they don't want to make the Vette look bad since GM probably has a bigger advertising budget than Chrysler.

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    I actually think it's easier to work on my engine with the clamshell. I don't have to worry about scratching up the fenders when I bend over. Of course head clearance is a different issue.

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    Obviously they pushed the envelope of fiberglass manufacturing. There may be a material in the future that may lend itself to large single pieces that can be manufactured consistently and economically (carbon fiber composite???). But with fiberglass that just won't happen. Of course there are...

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    It was a manufacturing nightmare. It was probably put into production because the manufacturing engineers got trumped by the designers. They probably got "talked" into doing it. The result is something that looks great but you can't make it at a reasonable cost. There's a good chance that...

    What to do in Detriot

    Well if you're going to the Henry Ford see if you can go on the truck plant tour. You get to see actual production in progress. However, they may not be running on the weekends though. If you go down town you can check out Greek Town or the casinos or maybe catch a Tigers game if they're in...

    Detailing parts in the engine bay & Trunk- OKay I was bored! lol

    I'm wondering what the valve cover lettering will look like in a few months. You might start to see some rust poking from under the paint....

    What to do in Detriot

    Ha, good point. It seems everybody knows more about Detroit than we do. Depending on how far you're willing to drive there are a few places worth checking out. If you're going to be in Chelsea you could run down to Ann Arbor for food and fun. The Wolverines will be away that weekend so it...

    Mobil 1 Rebate

    Yeah, I hate rebates. You have to go through 15 million hoops and hope that you dotted every i and crossed all you T's. It's all just a big scam. If they really wanted to give you the discount why don't they just lower the price??? :dunno:

    Cross reference for power window switch from another vehicle?

    It depends on the year. The early '96 to I believe '98 used a 2 gang K-car switch. Don't ask me the part number.... The later Gen II's used two one gang switches similar to a passenger side minivan switch. If you have the rocker buttons you have the two gang. If you have the paddles with...

    With Dave's kit you need to do some cutting and grinding, do the Stoptechs require the same?

    Flat spot in acceleration

    I forgot one last factor. I'm using a Greddy Profec II to control my boost. If I go the SCT route what do I use to control the boost? So I would still use my VEC and Profec along with the SCT for complete management?

    How did you guys get the rotors to match? Are they drilled and slotted or all just solid disks?
