    Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, July 11-13, 2014

    Anyone going to this? I've never been to one before, but was asked a few times at the last meet if I was going. Turns out I'm free that weekend, and I hear through the grapevine that there's a VCA area there. I don't know about anyone else, the the forums are my primary way of coordinating...

    Dyno Results - Drivetrain Loss 18% for GEN1 ???

    I don't know anything specific about this case, but I would just say that you can't just add up what each mod is "supposed" to give and expect to see that on a dyno. Nor can you set your watch to any "approximate" drivetrain loss numbers. You could easily have a bearing or gear that's worn and...

    16th Annual Crab Feast.

    It was nice to meet some of you yesterday, though I will likely not remember anyone's name next time. I'll bring the name tags back! Did anyone take any photos? I'm afraid I did not, although I did cut my thumb on a crab shell.

    Massive GM Recall = One Good Reason to get a Viper instead of a Vette

    The latest print edition of Car and Driver has a good article in it about the recall debacle. It's not online yet, but here's a breakdown of what all the recalls were: Clicky Once the C&D article is online, read it. Or if you get the magazine, read it. There were a LOT of weird things that...

    16th Annual Crab Feast.

    I'll be leaving Williamsport, PA at ten o'clock (ish) tomorrow morning, which would put me in Baltimore around one or two o'clock. Not sure where you are in that area, but according to Google Maps, I'll be taking I-83 to the 695 beltway to I-97 to US 50, if you want to convoy. I figure it...

    16th Annual Crab Feast.

    Go ahead and put me down. No guests. Sounds like fun!! Shall I bring nametags? "Hello, my name is No Fat Chicks"

    16th Annual Crab Feast.

    Only 3 hours-39 minutes from home... Perhaps a fun Saturday outing... How's the parking? Got a Viper-specific area with guard dogs and hot chicks? LOL

    Winding Road Article - Driven: 2014 SRT Viper TA - Great Review

    Remember the 6.1 Hemi? It came out at 425hp. Then the Chevy Camaro SS came with 426. Then the ZR-1 had 638hp. And then the 2013 Viper had 640. Then the GT500 had 662. And the ZL-1 "only" had 580, and now the Z/28 has 505. Racetrack, smaashtrack. 662 > 505. To win the...

    Winding Road Article - Driven: 2014 SRT Viper TA - Great Review

    Aside from the cosmetic parts, don't forget the 2-mode suspension. You can't get that on the "base" model. And I do believe the anti-roll bars and spring rates are exclusive as well. Other than that I agree. There's a standard battery, air conditioning, and a pretty sweet sound system. If...

    Viper TA Track Attack #5, Mosport 6-11-14…seat time really pays off!

    I'm headed to Watkins Glen for the 6-hour Tudor Race at the end of this month. Just passed 500 miles on the car, and will be definitely be looking to get it on the track, but I'm quite aware that it's got oodles more capability that I have talent. I'll definitely be the guy giving the point to...

    Six Hours of the Glen, 2014

    Got a call back from Kim at SRT today. They do not have passenger ticket packages. The pricing is the same for everyone. But if an owner wants to bring a guest, they can use your VIN to register (if you don't want to call) and when SRT notices the same VIN, they'll only send one parking pass in...

    Viper TA Track Attack #5, Mosport 6-11-14…seat time really pays off!

    Hey Bruce! Lap looked great! Do you have the windows down? Are you just using a dashcam for the video? Or do you have a data logger?

    Six Hours of the Glen, 2014

    You need a VIN number to buy tickets, so the $160 for the 4-day pass would be per person/per car. When I've signed up for these before, there's a "guest" price that gets all the frills, but doesn't require an SRT Corral parking pass, so the price is cheaper. I guess I really didn't notice if...

    Six Hours of the Glen, 2014

    Anyone going to take advantage of the SRT VIP Experience at Watkins Glen, NY, from June 26 through June 29th? There's an SRT car corral and owner's parade lap on the schedule!! I just picked up a four-day pass for $160 and will be driving up from Williamsport, PA, probably Friday, Saturday...

    Oil from natural gas?

    Ultimately, I can only shrug. I am not a petroleum or API engineer. I can only spout what I read someplace else. I don't know from experience. Before MY2013, SRT was all about the Mobil 1 0W-40 oil for their engines. The new engines were developed to satisfy this "MS-12633" oil standard...

    HELLO ALL

    Welcome!!! Car looks awesome! What an arse-puckering story. Glad to hear you made it and your skills made it so.

    Oil from natural gas?

    This sounds very cool, but I admit to not knowing much about it. We got any chemists here? Compressing natural gas (CH4) to very high pressures (Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)) or low temperatures (Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)) doesn't change the composition of the methane compound. Now, the...

    production numbers?

    True dat. This registry doesn't appear to have been updated in quite a while. Anyone know who's in charge of it?

    V8 Supercharged 6.2 engine coming?

    Well, the new 2015 Challenger and Charger are now out in the open. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140417/NEWYORK/140419848 http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140417/NEWYORK/140419852 Looks like you can now get a 485-hp 6.4-litre V8 in the Scat Pack R/T Challenger, leaving the...

    Rebate on ge 5 coming this week

    I'd agree with what many point out here. Before I continue, I shall disclaim that I have little experience in super/hyper/mega cars. I just read a lot of magazines. Now, when shopping for any car that costs north of $100,000, I would imagine the buyer would like to select every option and...

    Dash Cams?

    I bought this E-Prance from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F5WBXAE/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'd say that, with no other experiences, it's pretty awesome. It came with a 32Gb Micro SD card (the versions without the card were more expensive). It's takes more than...

    A DEAL I just couldn't turn down.

    Wow! What a steal! Good work. And the colour combination is super cool. Only the sharp eye will pick up on it. :drive:
