    Car and Drivers 2012 Lightning lap is out!

    I know this is a little off topic but in 2003 myself and my driving partner John Dearing took our STOCK 2002 Viper GTS to the OTC (Open Track Challenge) 7 tracks in 7 days and we ran in the "Touring" class which meant street tires with a treadwear rating 160 or higher (no cheater Cups). We...

    Which Water Pump to use

    Anything is better then the original water pump, I can't begin to tell you how many went bad because of the plastic impeller that was original equipment on the 2001, Dodge has remedied that problem since.

    What to do with used up brake pads...

    ...I moved a 6 foot tall 4' wide shelf yesterday and forgot about these (below) I hung up my used up Viper pads from track days. If they look larger then usual my 2000 had the Stoptech 4 wheel Big Brake package on it. Gotta be something I can do with them, Chuck any ideas? I'm sure you...

    Need new brake pads!!

    Someone told me they changed the compound after I blew through a stop sign, the EBC Reds at the time would not stop my Viper and was down right dangerous, I'm guessing they needed to be heated up this was back in 2001.

    Need new brake pads!!

    I'm sorry, I put a set of EBCs on my 2000 and took them off the same day, they were awful. It's been a few years since I put the EBC reds on and I hope they changed the compound and made them better, I use Brakeman 3 pads, the are a good "progressive" pad what works well on the non-abs Vipers.

    Lee, have you taken it to Laguna Seca yet? I'm curious if the 2010 gear ratios will translate to better lap times. .

    Been there done that with my 1969 L71 (427x435) roadster, 3 year frame off resto got me NCRS Top Flight, 2000 RT/10 is easier to maintain :D I agree with 2whitevipers, I'd go out to my garage and try to choose between the two side by side, Viper always wins out unless I was going to a car show...

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    Hey N00b take your 2 months of experience and learn how to post less and listen more, AUSTIN has been here since 2003, that's 80 years in Viper age, this makes you around 2 years old, I don't need to hear such BS from a toddler, if you can't respect your elders, respect your betters, neg...

    Viper dragrace ends w/wreck and Viper on fire in CA

    I used to drive that stretch of PCH all the time in my '00 RT/10, there seemed to always be idiots looking for a race, I just sit at the red lights and let them zoom off the line, Sunday is a pretty busy day to be racing.

    LOL George, "Anti-apexia" I need to remember that when I talk to the Corvette drivers next time at the track :rolaugh: .

    Will he catch the viper???

    Focus had a much better line, that was probably the only reason he could hang with the Viper, the guy in the Viper couldn't drive a track worth a sh*t!!!

    Looking for brake advice

    I've always used the Brakeman 3 for the Gen II, excellent street/track pad, very "progressive" pad for non-abs Vipers, not a "grippy" as some to avoid flat spotting.
