    Laguna Seca, April 29-May1

    I was wondering who was racing at this event with Sebring being the same weekend. I would hate to miss the chance to see Tommy, Rob, Bob et. al in action. I think I overheard the announcer on Speedvision saying the next stop on the tour was Laguna Seca. I see Dan Cragin is having a tech session...

    Checking in after a couple of years...

    Wanted to say hello to a lot of old friends I see here on the board and many new ones that have come in since I collected a lesser vehicle in the radiator of my GTS a couple of years back. Are these the good old days or what? Superchargers and blowers, tuners everywhere, more vendors than...

    Cooler weather driving tip for new owners

    Fall is upon us. The cooler air will make your engine feel stronger than ever and that's just too much temptation for any of us saints to resist. But remember your tires will will not have the same traction as they did when roads were warmer, they are going to let loose where before they held...

    Car is 'twitchy' after alignment...

    Re: Car is \'twitchy\' after alignment... I always dialed in about 3/4 of a degree of negative camber on my '98 for the street to cure the twitchyness, more for some tracks. Toe can certainly affect turn in but I wouldn't know about it causing the symptoms you describe. The shop may have...

    Good luck to all at Viper Days today

    It's getting close to 5 a.m. Texas time so I imagine there's already plenty of activity in the pits at Watkins Glen in New York as the fast and furious prepare for grid. Good luck to all, a special thumbs up to my buddy Jeff Ellison and his crew chief Tim, and please post the results as they...

    Viper engine in SUV!

    Hey I saw it on ABC News tonight so I know I can believe it . They were doing their usual spin about the US not signing the Folly of Kyoto (Trivia question: What are the only two countries to have actually signed the treaty?) and used American SUV's as an example of what we are doing wrong...

    Hoosiers for drag racing?

    335/30/18 is merely the tire size regardless of the application it was designed for. The "A" designation on a Hoosier indicates the tire was built for autocrossing, the "R" for roadracing. Neither is optimal for drag racing due to the stiff sidewalls built into the tire. While soft rubber is...

    Has anyone taken delivery of a turbo-charged Viper?

    I know supercharged Snakes are out in customers hands but what of the twin turbo cars? After all the articles and the occasional prototype we have seen has anyone taken actual delivery of a TT'd Viper and if so, who built it and what is it like?

    What am I not getting here on the Viper/Vette comfort issue?

    After spending some time in a C5 lately after first getting familiar with Vipers of various vintages and configuartions I don't understand the comments relating to the superiority of the Vette for comfort vs. the Chapter II car.. I am 6'1", 43 years old and in reasonably good shape and find...

    '00 a very smooth year

    \'00 a very smooth year I had the pleasure of piloting an '00 RT yesterday, man has that engine been smoothed out. No more lumpy cammy idle and a much smoother acceleration (engine had only 2k miles on it, mostly highway, probably not broken in yet). That new cam/piston combination really...

    A question for owners of 600-700+ h.p. Snakes

    A buddy of mine is looking to buy a 770+ h.p. (on motor, no NOS or forced induction) Viper with modified suspension and brakes. He has previously owned a stock motored 99GTS and enjoyed it on the street. He has no real track experience to speak of, and none solo. What advice/observations would...

    Bill Pemberton School of Business

    I was talking with Joshua Miles, Viper salesman at a local Dodge dealership today. I'm running a friend by there on Saturday that has "outgrown" his C5 and wants something with a little more pepper. I called Joshua to make sure he'd be in. It was a brief call but Josh took the time to mention...

    Who are these guys?

    Royal Automobile Investors! Man, it's good to be King(man). Actually Steve and WingKing are very creditable guys, and wouldn't endorse or promote anything they don't absolutely believe in. I saw the EBC brakes at Steve's tent at Viper days (we looked like a bunch of homeless huddled around the...

    Viper Days at TWS, report from the track

    Impressive driving at these events folks, if you haven't been to one you are definitely cheating yourself out of an experience. How often do you get a chance to see the best in action, check out their rides up close and ask the questions you can't seem to get answered anywhere else? And then...

    2000 GTS question

    2000/1999 are essentially the same car, the only difference being the pistons and cam in later models being reconfigured to keep the EPA happy. The pistons are no longer forged and the cam was altered making the engine smoother. The purpose was to reduce cold start emmissions. What's a good...
