    Quick Release SRT-10 Battery Cover / Battery Tender Connector

    An update on this project for those who were interested: The first batch is done and many have been installed on local cars. The covers look great and fit very well. Having had to remove several OEM covers to install these I appreciate them even more. Some notes: No Modification of the Car...

    Why Gen III and Gen IV when they are the same?

    One difference between the Vette and Viper nomenclature is that the base model C6 existed at the same time as the GS, Z06, and ZR1. You could no longer buy the 2006 specification Viper in 2008, updates were made across the board. Viper also had ACR during those years which is the “Z06” or “ZR1”...

    Battery Tender question - Permanent connection?

    Good point, Allan. That’s exactly why my solution was engineered to be slightly lighter than OEM!!

    Anything I should know before powder coating my wheels?

    Great information, George. Sounds like you have an experienced and proactive powder coater. Has anyone found a good matte / satin black with a good "pencil hardness"? It seems matte is easier to cosmetically scratch than gloss. Typically a texture will hide minor surface imperfections but...

    Battery Tender question - Permanent connection?

    Yes, this offers a direct permanent connection to the battery. These are now complete and in the hands of a few local members for testing as well as on my car. This panel requires no modification to the car whatsoever. More information here: http://dougshelbyengineering.com/Viper.html

    Anything I should know before powder coating my wheels?

    Thanks for the input, FrgMstr. I tend to agree with what you said.

    Anything I should know before powder coating my wheels?

    This may open a can of worms but there are some out there who suggest the temperature cycle of powder coating can weaken a forged alloy. This said, there are low temp powder coatings out there if you are worried about this. I think the number being thrown around was keeping the temperature below...

    How to build a professional motorsports wiring harness... 101

    Very nice. Often the wiring is an afterthought to people because it "just works". The materials and tools required to build this type of harness are not cheap and experience cannot be underestimated. The time required to specify, measure, and design is incredible. If done right the end result is...

    Battery Tender question for 09 ACR

    Yes that one you linked to. There are many models, the main difference is voltage and current output, number of banks, and international vs USA models so you can weed out many of them. You'll want a 12V model. The JR is meant for maintenance (low current output), there is also the waterproof...

    Battery Tender question for 09 ACR

    I'm using the battery tender plus. It is better suited to charge a battery vs. the Jr. which seems to be mainly used for maintenance.

    09 ACR - can i charge the battery?

    Assuming the correct fuse has been installed, yes, the wires should be protected. I'm sure some in a pinch would put whatever fuse they have in just to get things working and hopefully it wasn't oversized. In practice these things are rare but I'm just trying to provide another perspective...

    09 ACR - can i charge the battery?

    Yes, and as temperature rises resistance goes up and the cycle can continue (higher resistance>higher temps> and so on). Completely fused wires and/or melted insulation are possible if the gauge is small enough or the current is large enough. This isn’t likely for what the OP is asking about...

    09 ACR - can i charge the battery?

    It is always better to connect directly to the battery, but this doesn’t mean other methods won’t work. Electrically speaking a direct route to the battery is more efficient… just like lighter wheels, aftermarket exhaust, etc. Peter MJ is correct, there is always a voltage loss associated –...

    Paint matched calipers on 08 B&W

    Instead of vinyl you could get the logo laser etched but this would require the calipers to be removed from the car.

    Edmunds GEN V suspension walk-around.

    So it looks as if the Sidewinder II wheels may be slightly lighter than the original Sidewinders? Hard to tell exactly how much with the tires mounted. 56.4 pounds Sidewinder II w/ Pirelli P Zero Corsa 57.2 pounds Sidewinder w/ PS2 according to this thread...

    Car&Driver:ZR1 beats the Viper...again

    One thing I've been wondering is why are magazines testing the heavier GTS? The SRT is cheaper and lighter. Do the GTS two mode dampers add performance? Is anything gained performance wise when "upgrading" to the GTS? Makes the car look bad on paper and in the ZR1 comparison IMO. The extra...

    How do I get an avatar and owner status?

    All of the local VCA members were great to me before I even owned a Viper. Sort of hard to believe how friendly everyone is actually! My membership was certainly worth it.
