    looking for Nitrous tuner near Chicago

    Just wondering how this went... My new-to-me '03 hasn't been dyno'd/tuned in 7 years and I'm wondering if anyone used Sound Performance or Automotorsports and what the recent experience was! Nothing major, I just want a session to dyno/tune VEC2/dyno my setup to get current numbers. -mb

    Awesome car! Both color and plate! Your garage is the exact same scheme/pattern I've been thinking about doing, and it looks great! How long have you had the racedeck floor down? Hope you make it up to Schaumburg tomorrow. -mb

    Vec 2 problem? or something else?

    So I had this EXACT problem with my VEC2 on my Gen3 for the past couple weeks... I'm still a Viper noob, so I don't know if the Gen2 is installed the same... Forgive me if I'm wrong! The car would sometimes throw the CEL with a CKP/CMP code, sometimes not, but it would stumble HARD under WOT...

    CEL Reader / App

    I just installed Torque with one of the E-Bay ELM327 adapters a couple weeks ago on my Android. Simply put, this is awesome. There is also an ability to record your drive via GPS with your phone's camera overlay. -mb

    SRT Track Experience

    Thanks for all the feedback! I will be skipping the SRT experience and putting the money towards driving school. Wikkid, check the illinoisvipers.com website, VCA members get 1 free road course and Autocross event. I will probably hold out until next year though. -mb

    SRT Track Experience

    Is the experience worth paying $500 for? I'm thinking of doing the Autobahn in August as well, but wondering if I should put the money toward a dedicated performance driving school instead, since I don't qualify for a "free" run. I have zero track experience, and VCA-IL membership already...

    No, he is no longer the head of the Dodge brand, that has moved to Reid Bigland. This article hit my Google News Alert today: http://www.autoweek.com/article/20110607/CARNEWS/110609893 -mb

    If You're Interested - Non-Viper Club Car Cruise/Charity Event

    I talked to Omar for about 30 minutes this week. He says the organization is a 501 c 3 company and he seems okay. I'm on the fence whether I will be able to make it or not due to family stuff, but it is right in my backyard. I talked to a couple other Viper owners who are thinking about it as...

    Supercar Saturdays - 04-June @ The Barrington Arboretum

    Saw this online... The site itself is in disarray, but the galleries are pretty cool. I see several Vipers from past events, so I'm thinking of heading out with the car and a kid... Anyone going next weekend? Supercar Saturdays -mb

    new site = very difficult to work with!

    (first off, I'm not affiliated with the sysadmins of this site, and everything I state below is speculative at best!) * The "followed threads" are under 'Settings' in the upper right. * They're painfully aware of the color schemes and working to recreate them on the new version of vBulletin *...

    New Owner! '03 SRT

    Awesome, thanks for the replies and warm welcomes! My Dad and I will be doing Day 1 of the cruise and spending the night in Kokomo. We're off to Culver, IN Sunday morning to open up his log cabin for the summer. I think I've logged all of 15 miles on the car so far, so I'll most likely be...

    Pro Shots of my Matte Black GTS

    I absolutely love this finish... Since you had it resprayed, what does the process look as compared to a regular gloss black clearcoat? I thought about getting a matte black wrap done on my old Mustang (also gloss black), but could never pull the trigger. -mb

    Did something happen?

    They're still re-doing the theme as part of the vBulletin upgrade. The admins said it should be a couple days, but they are making incremental improvements here and there. They're well aware of the color schemes being broken! ;)

    For the time being, click the 'Cached' link at the end of the Google search results. Not perfect, but it should let you get access to the thread while everything is getting sorted.

    V10 RIP?

    Funny this topic came up... I saw this yesterday on my Google Alerts for 'Dodge Viper': http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2011/05/2012-dodge-viper-to-get-ferrari-engine-rumor.html I believe it about as far as I can throw the V10 block... Interesting nonetheless. -mb

    New Owner! '03 SRT

    This Tuesday I picked up a modded 2003 SRT-10 from forum member Wikkid. He was a great person (CAR NUT) to buy from and took plenty of his time to make me comfortable with my purchase. I had been seriously looking for a Viper since November, and I sold my pampered and modded Mustang in January...
