    Hardtop

    I'm cleaning out my basement and had to move my hardtop around that I've just left sitting against a wall ever since I bought the car. I forgot how heavy/awkward that SOB is .... why did Dodge even bother making that piece - it's not practical to install/remove by yourself, and even with 2...

    Why did ACRs never have special engines?

    I've always wondered why ACR Vipers never had special engines over base Vipers (e.g., C6 Z06 had a larger engine than a regular C6, C6 ZR1 had a supercharger, etc.)?

    Volt gauge reading

    With the battery fully charged and car (2002 rt/10) on, intercooler pump on, radio on, headlights on (dtrl), radiator fan off, the needle on the volt gauge is just a hair past the 14 mark on the gauge. Same conditions but now radiator fan on, the volt gauge sits a hair beneath the 14 mark if...
