    Hood problems are keeping my GTS off the road.

    I know the proper procedure for opening and closing the hood on my 2001 GTS ACR. I have been having problems with the latch lately and wonder if someone has some good advice. Currently my snake is stuck in my driveway with the hood open just a couple of inches, since I am afraid to try to shut...

    MIchelin Pilot Sports on the track (road course)

    I bought a brand new 2001 Viper GTS ACR in March, 2003. It has the original Michelin Pilot Sport tires on it. After 4,000 miles and about eight track days (road course only), I am wondering whether they have lost some of the grip. How much does sitting around for two years affect the rubber? Is...

    Help! My windshield is cracking (new 2001 GTS)

    My 2001 GTS ACR is three months old. I bought it with 10 miles on the odometer. After a few very hot days out in the sun, the front windshield has developed a crack that starts at the bottom edge of the glass, right in front of the driver and goes up about a foot. Both replacement windshields...

I installed the Brake Man 3 pads, front and rear, but I am not so thrilled about the way they performed at Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow over the past weekend. They don't seem "grippy" enough. What pads...

    SRT-10 brakes fit on a 2001 GTS?

    My 2001 GTS ACR hasn't even arrived here yet and already I am thinking about upgrading the brakes! Sounds like the best choices are Stop Tech, Brembo, and The Brake Man. What are the pros and cons? Information = power! :laugh: Thanks. Michael

    Question about 2001/2002 ACR models

    I am pretty much ready to make the switch from my Z06 to a Viper coupe. Since I plan to attend as many Viper Days as possible, and other similar DE's at the track, I figure a good slightly used ACR is probably the best choice for me at this point. What is it that sets the ACR apart from the...
