    Nice article on adjusting shock absorbers.

    Saw this article in Winding Road. Good reading on adjustable shock absorbers. Tuning shock absorbers used to be a bit of a black art, but over the past decade or so, it's become more of a science. David Murry tackles the topic of shock absorber tuning this week, and what I like most about his...

    Added two more strakes on the diffuser

    Wanted to do something different to my 09 Coupe, so added two more strakes to the rear under pannel diffuser. Always thought it might look a bit more finished. Had a guy make me up a couple in aluminum, ($65) and put them on last night. Think it turned out pretty well, and looks factory. Just...

    Fantastic dealership experience

    After reading a previous post about horrible dealership experiences I was expecting the worst. A friend was interested in buying my 09, so I wanted to see what might be available in a new 13-14. Stopped into a local Dodge dealership, Carl Burgers in San Diego. Was blown away. They had 4 well...

    Inspiration for the New Gen V ACR and Convertible

    I believe that this Top Gear video clip should be the inspiration for design and production of the new ACR and Convertible. http://www.autospies.com./news/The-MOST-Beautiful-Car-In-The-World-Simon-Cowell-Snaps-Up-An-Eagle-Speedster-Is-He-Onto-Something-80724/ A bit long, but shows what the...

    Ralph in Automobile magazine

    Automobile magazine has some nice things to say about what is popular at Viper. http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_shows/chicago/2014/1402-chicago-2014-ralph-gilles-downplays-rumors-of-srt-barracuda-dart/ Looks like he has a pretty good handle on what Viper Owners want.

    New unbrella company…FCA

    Is it just me, or does the new Fiat ownership look like they are trying to more closely associate with VCA. Just tongue in cheek, but thought it interesting that they are only one letter away.

    Don't forget your battery cables

    Noticed that my Viper was not starting as crisply as usual, and though it was just time for a new battery. When I took a look, the positive post was all green and furry with corrosion. Quick cleaning with some baking soda and all is back to normal. Since Viper batteries are pretty well hidden...

    A Christmas gift for your Viper

    Just was looking through the VPA catalog and saw they are are selling Drivers side OEM seat backs for only $200 (MSRP $784). I remember when I had my 96 that the seatback got worn from sliding in and out on the bolster. Think a new one would be cheaper than getting the worn one reupholstered...

    The Elephant in the room

    Looking for some input here, and perhaps get some advice for Presidents of regional clubs that are considering moving over to VOA. What should happen to the money in their VCA Regional Club account, and to other assets, they may have received from VCA or their VCA members. Assuming that some...

    Thanks again Todd Abrams

    Todd installed a set of the new MCS shocks on my O9, replacing the KW Variant II's. Now that I have more miles on it, I decided it was just a bit soft for me. Todd had me bring it in, and put it on the lift. He originally set it at 8 clicks front, and 12 rear. Two turns on the height, and two...

    KW vs MCS shocks

    To bring everybody up to speed, this is about changing the coil over suspension on my 09 Coupe from KW Variant IIs to the newest MCS (Motion Control Suspension) shocks. These two shocks are very similiar in design, and will most likely be cross shopped by Viper owners wanting to upgrade their...

    What cars, besides Viper, are built in Detroit.

    Was wondering if any other automakers actually build any of their cars (not trucks) in Detroit. I do not mean in the suburbs of Detroit, but actually within the City of Detroit.
