    Corvette guy

    I have owned three ZR1's and two Vipers. My fastest ZR1, 1993, ran 12.8 at Desoto Raceway in about 65 degree weather with me driving. At the same strip, on a hotter day, I've run 12.4 in my 2000 Viper GTS. Both cars had mild exhaust mods only. That should answer the question. riw :laugh...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Len Your description of the 1st to 2nd shift situation is exactly what I had originally described. What I have experienced recently is that the slight hesitation in power was not present all the time. Yesterday I took it out, I shifted from 1st to 2nd hard at over 5000 rpm and the car...

    SRT Driveability and other SRT Questions

    Regarding the SRT 1st to 2nd shifting issue. I have a new black SRT with 400 miles on it. My 2003 does not have a valve issue. I originally thought there was a bog from 1st to 2nd, but on closer attention, I have found that if you only do a partial throttle, between 4000-4500 rpm, you do not...

    Valve and Shifter Issues --- Vin 284

    Had my dealer check with Dodge to see if my Black SRT vin 284 was on the valve recall list. Strange, but he was never given a list of the recalls thou he was aware there was a problem. I have not gotten a letter, but I wanted to make sure that I was not affected by the recall. The word he...

    Tire Hell and the "Tire Rack" and "Just Tires" saves the day....

    Re: Tire Hell and the I also had a flat tire in my brand new black SRT. The low pressure tire light came on after I took it out of the garage. It had undoubtedly leaked for several days. My pressure registered at 6 lbs. not 0. Local tire places could not even begin to make a repair or...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    :confused: Has anyone experienced a bog between 1st and 2nd gear in medium to hard shift? There are two other new vipers here that also have this slight power loss when shifting hard from 1st to 2nd. So far, no fix has been determined. I have just over 400 miles and I just began noticing this...

    srt10 vs z06 on espn2

    :cool: RE:jrod post He must be power shifting and running in freezing, dry temperature----to run in the 11's with a stock ZO6. As I own, and have driven both cars, there is no stock ZO6 that can pull down a Viper, with the exception of a huge difference in drag racing ability. I have been to...

    Gripper shifter for SRT

    :cool: I have just purchased a gripper shifter from MGW for my 03 SRT. I have not installed it yet, and would appreciate any comments you may have. I have a shortened stem shifter on one of my C5's. It is a tad more effort, but much more precise when shifting from 2nd to 3rd at the drag...

    srt10 vs z06 on espn2

    Hi 6 weeks ago I traded my 00 black :usa: GTS for a 03 SRT black. I also own a yellow 2002 ZO6. I have raced them myself, and with the same driver, me. At the same track, DeSoto Drag Way in Bradenton, Fl, my ZO6 ran 12.9 [stock] and my Viper GTS ran 12.4 [stock]. Though these were not...

    SRT 10 Coupe coming soon?

    I presently own a black SRT convert 2003 with about just over 100 miles on it. I traded a 2000 black GTS for it. I also own a c5 convert, an 02 ZO6, a 93 ZR1 and a 67 435 Vette convertible. The reason I bought the black GT in 2000 instead of an RT is because the RT was anything but a real...

    #284 delivered

    Just picked up my black 03 SRT. Vin # 284. Drove home.....loved it. The car is much better looking in person!!!! It is tight and I also noticed the clutch has a higher takeoff than the GT. The top is easy to work. Trunk is decent. There is heat in the footwell but not too bad. I put my...

All four of my cars have been run in Florida in 80+ degree weather. My 2001 Vette convertible with air induction...
