    In Memoriam: Doug Azzarito

    With sadness I report the recent death of Doug Azzarito, who struggled mightily with cancer and did not make it to 2013. Those who have been around a long while will remember him as one of the core creators of this forum back in 1997 or so (it seemed earlier). I have personally stayed in some...

    Viper Club Financials in Notes

    Kudos to the club for posting the financial information; I don't remember seeing this before and this kind of disclosure is critical to building credibility. Some interesting aspects appear to be: 1. Raffle cars don't come free, and perhaps not even at a significant discount. They appear to...

    Sports Car article on Bob Woodhouse

    There is a very nice article (over a page) in the October issue of Sports Car, SCCA's magazine, about Bob Woodhouse's performance, trials and tribulations. A really nice read with more history about Bob than I knew, and I have followed Bob for some years. Way to go, Bob!

    Roe VEC-2 & tuning software

    I recently received my updated Roe VEC-2 and tuning software and after 3 days' use am very impressed! This is on the fringe of user-friendly in DIY way, but pretty easy if you pay attention. It is not of the caliber of AEM in terms of flexibility, but you won't lose OBDII compliance - my car...

    Flickering lights

    An odd and intermittent problem the other night arose: The lights on the car would randomly flicker. The headlights, instrument lights, everything went dark for just a second. This happened a few times and then quit. I could not get it to repeat over bumps or fiddling with the stalks going...

    Totaled 95 RT10 and Insurance

    In general, I don't think any dealer is required to disclose anything but the odometer statement unless you ask. That said, if the car was indeed a total loss at a prior time, then it should have had a salvage title and I wonder how or why that did not occur. If you asked "has this car ever...

    V-1 hard wire advice

    I wanted to hard wire my Valentine 1 but did not know an easy place to get switched 12V power very easily, especially since all the fuses are now under the hood. Any suggestions? Thanks

    SRT/10 Musings - long

    I had the good fortune to spend 3 days driving a Silver SRT/10 and thought I'd give my thoughts. I like to be a bit of an iconoclast and am not quite the Stepford Viper Owner many others are, so hopefully this will be farily objective. For perspective, I have a '93 RT/10 and 2001 GTS for...

    Bob Woodhouse ITE champ at ARRC

    At today's American Road Race of Champions at Road Atlanta, Bob Woodhouse took his Viper, brought it to ITE specs, and proceeded to win his class and drive well into the GTA (similar to Trans Am car) class in a spelndid, smooth and impressive victory. He ran laps in the 1:33s in qualification...

    What does it mean when oil pressure stays at 60 instead of 40

    Not to be smart, but it means your pressur is 60 psi. Pretty staqnge at hot idle, and I would wonder if the gauge is accurate, but nothing to worry about if th epressure is real.

    Invoice pricing?

    Real dealer updates are starting and VINs are being assigned. I do not have a VIN yet, but do have a printout with some pricing info. All info is expresly subject to change, but the bottom line, including gas guzzler, Destination, and charges for some kind of zone fee and Customer One Loyalty...

    Seat belt info

    What may help explain DC's reticence in response to the clamor over seatbelts is the fact that it is defending a class action lawsuit in Corpus Christi, TX, not known to be a friendly forum for defendants. Without debating the merits, suffice to say that DC cannot simply do the "right thing"...

    Automobile Magazine preliminary numbers on SRT/10

    I sure hope some hapless granny was driving. 0-60 4.4 sec 1/4 mile 12.3 @ 115 mph It was a development mule, but all I can say is: WEAK, WEAK, WEAK! Please let this be an anomoly!

    Question on dimensions for exhaust

    I am thinking about building new tubing from the stock ('01) header collector to the CORSA cat back system, all in 3". I can get the armored stainless flex piece and stainless tubing, but I did not know the dimension and source for the flange that mates to the header collector. I could take it...

    A Long Editorial on The SRT from a semi-whiner

    I duped this because I don't think of myself as a whiner and that thread was gettin' a might long. Does this ring true to anyone else or am I a tree falling in the forest with no one around? The SRT is definitely intended to broaden market appeal and capture folks that want a more mainstream...

    DOT 5 Brake Fluid

    I have used DOT 5 in many cars in the past, with no ill effects. It does get spongy with heat, so I quit using it in cars with any track potential. The nice thing is that it is not hygroscopic and won't eat paint like glycol-based fluids. I think you will like it fine for street driving and...

    Certificate Program #3 for the coupe? I vote yes

    Here's an idea for those slammin' the SRT/10 and holding out for the coupe. How about certificates for the new coupe (like in 1996) for buyers and holders of SRT/10s? You buy and keep (not flip) your SRT/10 and you are first in line for the coupe when it becomes available. Flame suit on, but...

    EBC rear pad users on 2001-2 (ABS-equipped) cars

    To those that switched to EBC pads, did you do so early on and did your stock pads appear to have plenty of life left? If so, please email me privately if you would like to sell your stockers. It turns out that EBC, Hawk and Performance Friction do not sell a race compound pad for the rears on...
