ACR Brakes
Dean, I believe you're right. My '99 ACR (3,000 miles w/original pads) stops much, much better than any other stock brake GTS I've driven.- dblankenbaker

VIPER DAYS....AIR BAG DISCONNECT????
HOGDEALER, I'm with you... disconnect them if you can. My only concern would be that you remember to reconnect them before driving on the street. I believe there was one case a few years ago where a Viper went off course and the bags deployed when the car caught a little air. Anyone else...- dblankenbaker

Prices on 99 GTSs?
Re: How about a 99 GTS/ACR for 45k????? The car in the pictures is NOT the car being auctioned. I have the VIN and service history for the car in the pictures. It was purchased by Naplesmotorsports several months ago for $53,100. I know, because I was second highest bidder at $53,000. They...- dblankenbaker

Diagnostic port on a 95 R/T10 Help!!
It's on the harness that goes into the PCM, but it is a different style plug then what the 96+ cars (and ODBII scan tools) use. Should be simple enough to make an adapter, but I haven't gotten around to it. Per the Service Maunal, it WILL give you the P#### codes (more granularity that the...- dblankenbaker

SuperCarsChicago is really just a group of great car guys who like to get together and talk about working on cars. Little secret: although Paolo will spew facts and theories all night long about mods and driving, I've never seen him run hard on the street. I think he enjoys talking more...- dblankenbaker

I like to get out earlier, so I am up for meeting someplace 6:45-7:00, relax and grab a bite to eat, and then IF the SuperCarsChicago group has something going on, meet up with them.- dblankenbaker

You should be able to take him. I don't think you have any problems that a couple hours of training in street racing from Paolo Castellano won't solve. Otherwise, if you want to SPANK him, get a Roe S/C. I think TOOFST is a Roe S/C dealer/installer.- dblankenbaker

Hood emblem on Graphite 2000, Black or Grey?
The factory hood emblem was grey. It actually is applied to the front fascia. My 2000 Service Manual isn't handy, but my 1995 Service Manual says the top of the emblem should be 3.3 inches from the top edge of the fascia. If it were my car, I would get the fangs (2003) hood emblem... it's...- dblankenbaker

Speaker Enclosure and Autoform Rollbar
Tony, I don't think a pic will show you what you want to see. The trick for the installation is to cut straight back from one side of each of the three holes through both vinyl and PVC, and to cut on the other side of the holes just enough to score the PVC from the back. The Vinyl then acts as...- dblankenbaker

Interesting 99 Black ACR on eBay... belong to anyone here on the board?
Just spent 30 minutes on the phone with "Spudman"... After speaking with me at length, he doesn't think I'm a "tire kicker" so he agreed that if I win the auction I could fax him a photocopy of the check for the full amount. I would then fly out at his earliest convenience with the check...- dblankenbaker

In this case, the car is not available for inspection until after the auction is over and after you wire a deposit. The auction says the winning bidder has the right to walk away after inspecting the car.... "Owner Guarantee!!" "While it is not required, the "Serious Winning Bidder" of this...- dblankenbaker

Interesting 99 Black ACR on eBay... belong to anyone here on the board?
I have been interested in this car, too, but I've been sitting on the sidelines. My first concern was that the seller wanted a $5,000 deposit wired to him within 48 hours. He states the deposit is fully refundable if you fly out and don't like the car. I offered to fly out WITH THE FULL...- dblankenbaker
