    Better daily driver? Jaguar S-Type R, or Cadillac CTSV?

    Well, here we go, opinions again! Bring on the flames! I own a CTS-V, don't own a Jag, have never driven an SRT-8 in any of it's configurations....but I seriously doubt that any of the vehicles listed can come close to comparing with the CTS-V. Very powerful 4 place car, very reliable car, lots...

    which 3.55s are the strongest?

    Talk to Devin at Unitrax...they are a listed supplier. You want the Dana Super Duty Gear set. The standard Dana gear set will fit but is really not designed to handle the high torque loads the Viper can regularly and continuously spply.

    Should I trade my 2002 GTS for a 2001 ACR?

    If your car is in good shape, runs good and you are happy with it, save your time and effort. ACR's and GTS's are a "horse apiece"...no big difference in value (the value is in the quality/condition of the specific car) and why get into an unknown for no good reason. For street use, they're no...

    Cryo-Hardened, Triple-Polished 3.55 Gears

    Why don't you either drive to Unitax or contact them to install the gears for you. They're on your side of the country, so shipping should be fairly reasonable. You could drive there, spend the night and drive home with the 3.55's installed. Trust me, they are a great upgrade and I seriously...

    Engine Temperature ??

    I wouldn't get too worried if I were you. Changing the coolant (use a "longlife" brand) after the system has been thoroughly flushed is a good idea, but you'll likely not notice any difference on the guage. Don't believe for a moment that the calibration on the guage or sending unit is...

    The Famous Wax Question

    My experience, 2 black cars, one my Viper GTS and the other my daily buggy, an '04 CTS. Both paint jobs were done very well by the factory. Both look very good when waxed....Viper only has had Zaino, the Cadillac has had NXT. The problem with the NXT is it doesn't last near as long as the...

    3.55 Ring and Pinion Gear and Exhaust/Header/Cats Install Question

    I went thru almost all the same mod's on my car....except for the headers. My suggestion is as follows...your tech will have no problems with the 3"Corsa & Random Tech hi flo cats, even if he does some welding which is the correct way to do it on the hot side. Mine charged $120 for that...

    Question about octane booster.

    I don't believe the engine by itself will produce any more horsepower with higher octane fuel. In newer vehicles, the ECM's are designed to adjust timing to compensate for lower octane fuels and the horsepower will be reduced (Chrysler's full sized car's owner's manuels will tell you that), but...

    Randomtech hi flow cat installation help

    I had my Viper tech install mine...very easy, just dropped it off and paid about $150, including a tip. Speaking of tips, he said to always weld on the exhaust manifold side of the cats...clamping OK on the downstream side but not a good installation on the "hot" side. For what it's worth...

    When do you Northerners start using your Vipers??

    Well, it could have been this weekend, but yesterday it rained all day and today I woke up to 4" of snow on the ground. Tomorrow it's supposed to get to 60 degrees. Pittsburgh sometimes has a yo-yo climate, but other than that, it still sucks. I know California guys, laugh it up! I do so I don't...

    First Post!!!!

    The "T" handle design was all started by Hurst back in the late '60's, but the Hurst shifter always came with a large ball shifter as standard. I've been out of the loop with their product for 30 years, in fact I didn't know they were even still in business. Used to live right down the highway...

    battery tender

    the original battery tender, named "the Battery Tender" (coincidentally!) complete with onboard chip that measures battery voltage and automatically shuts itself down to idle when the battery is fully charged, is sold regularly at Pep Boys for around $40 to $45. I wouldn't advise anything else...

    What fuel injection cleaner should be used after winter storage ?

    Tom...Hope things are going well for you and like "Batman", thanks for responding when I fired up the searchlight. Your input on fuels and oils over the years has always been unbiased and tremendously accurate. My experience on this subject shows nothing has changed. Best of luck as we move into...

    What fuel injection cleaner should be used after winter storage ?

    We need Tom a.k.a. Geek of the Realm! He is really our answer to all fuel and oil questions...this guy is brilliant! Several years ago he responded to a post on this subject and essentially said to store your car with a full tank of good quality pump gas and it'll be fine when you start it up...

    Wife blows off corvette!

    Hey Bruce....now you really can't mean the CTS-V looks like a "piece of crap" next to the 300C. Both very nice cars, very different leagues. The CTS-V is a beautiful, 4 passenger sports sedan and most definitely a higher end car than a 300C. The 300C SRT will be in the same league as the CTS-V...

    Other than the Viper, what exotic car holds it's value well?

    Re: Other than the Viper, what exotic car holds it\'s value well? I'll probably get flamed for this response, but here goes...There have been a number of cars thru the years that retain a very high % of the original price and even some that have appreciated over time. We all hear about the...

    My Friend's Garage..all MOPAR! Well over $500K in cars. Not dial up!

    Re: My Friend\'s Garage..all MOPAR! Well over $500K in cars. Not dial up! Agreed, your $500K value was way under stated. The latest issue of Autoweek shows the result at a recent Barrett Jackson auction where a Superbird 426 Hemi, decent to good condition (not perfect) went for over $300K. Your...

    West Coast Viper PCM mod issues, anyone else?

    2002, even though I can't answer your specific questions, I had my PCM reprogrammed at WCV (when Jason worked there) and have never experienced any problems...in fact, my car runs better (a.k.a. faster, smoother, etc.) with no known or noticeable problems at all. You never mentioned what kind of...

    Modded vs Stock

    Casey and Shelby3 are absolutely correct. The mods you've mentioned have a value to them, but most used buyers look at the age and condition of the car firat....that's what makes the car appealing and establishes a value. If the car is modded and in good shape, well taken care of, it will...

    Mobil 1 Special....

    Stopped into the local Pep Boys to buy an oil filter for the CTS and saw that they were selling Pep Boys 2005 Calendars for $1.00 with proceeds going to MADD. Calendars have coupons inside for Pep Boys products and found a Mobil 1 coupon, buy 3 quarts and get 3 free. They give you the deal right...

    Thermostat question.

    ....or maybe the guage calibration is incorrect. Happens more often than people think.

    Pre-Track Fluid frecomendations??

    There's been lots of discussion on this topic over the years. Forget all that other stuff and go with Amsoil Synthetic products for the engine, transmission and differential. It get's the highest marks for quality, world wide.
