    I broke my Roe, dammit...

    Have you been checking the oil regularly? They have a tendency to blow oil and dry out. Do a search and you'll find many discussions. Install and reinstall is a simple job. The worst part is getting that bolt underneath the air intake plenum and aligning the injectors. Also make sure the...

    Powder Coating Stupidity

    For $40 that's a heck of a deal. Any bubbles or wrinkles on it? Can they do it in red?

    It's too bad you lost the raised logos. Those make the valve covers unique.

    19 and 20 in. Drag Radials

    Too bad they don't offer an 18". The Mickey's haven't exactly been widely available and an 18" would have been a good alternative.

    PICS – Went Twin Turbo

    Hey, congrats! Welcome to the club :D Now go find some 'Busas and show them who's boss...... Did you take out the cats? I didn't see if you mentioned that. It really helps with the heat. That's a big @ss intercooler. What size is it?

    Hmmm, that's a good idea. Too bad my coater didn't know that trick. And he's supposed to be a professional......:rolleyes: You may have a future in coating Viper valve covers.....:rolaugh:

    Powder Coating Stupidity

    It's not easy to powder coat magnesium. They off gas so you need to know what you are doing. I did mine a few years ago and it ran me $400. And mine still had some bubbles. There's a lot of history here if you look through the past posts.

    Pics (a couple more)

    If my wife had any idea how fast my car is she would have an instant heart attack. Whenever she's in the car I've never had it past half throttle. Even then she tells me to slow down. The solution to your dilemma is very simple. Just drive like a grandpa when she's in the car. Everybody has...

    My new hero

    So they've spend almost $2.5M on Vipers? I think these people have waaay too much time and money on their hands...... I just wish it was me:rolaugh:

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    So that means that since our hood cannot open completely forward we really don't need that second latch?.....:hmmm: I've always wondered about that..... Maybe an opportunity for some weight saving or at least less complexity.

    Car and Driver sucks.

    Hey man, I hope you do realize that you are referring to people who live and "work" in the Detroit area. There's a good chance that many of these people are in the automotive industry AND there's a good chance that these people may even be intimately involved with Chrysler......

    Car and Driver sucks.

    Yes, that's true if it was a new model. Chrysler sometimes gives them fast feedback cars that weren't even built at full production rates. The Viper has been out for how long? So any type of article being written in the past 5-6 years there should be no problem finding a Viper available for...

    Car and Driver sucks.

    So you're saying that if C&D wanted a Viper to test and compare that they can't get one? They're based out of Ann Arbor which is only an hour away from Chrysler HQ. Even if corporate didn't want to offer a test vehicle that no one in the Detroit area would volunteer their vehicle to use? I...

    Car and Driver sucks.

    It's not just C&D. Basically all the magazines over look the Viper in most of their comparisons. For some reason they don't like to compare it to the Vette. Maybe they don't want to make the Vette look bad since GM probably has a bigger advertising budget than Chrysler.

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    I actually think it's easier to work on my engine with the clamshell. I don't have to worry about scratching up the fenders when I bend over. Of course head clearance is a different issue.

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    And how much does it weigh?...:rolleyes:

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    Obviously they pushed the envelope of fiberglass manufacturing. There may be a material in the future that may lend itself to large single pieces that can be manufactured consistently and economically (carbon fiber composite???). But with fiberglass that just won't happen. Of course there are...

    Clamshell hood on an SRT?

    It was a manufacturing nightmare. It was probably put into production because the manufacturing engineers got trumped by the designers. They probably got "talked" into doing it. The result is something that looks great but you can't make it at a reasonable cost. There's a good chance that...

    What to do in Detriot

    Well if you're going to the Henry Ford see if you can go on the truck plant tour. You get to see actual production in progress. However, they may not be running on the weekends though. If you go down town you can check out Greek Town or the casinos or maybe catch a Tigers game if they're in...
