    Gen III/IV owners that own(ed) a Gen I/II

    I owned a 1998 GT-2 which I autocrossed (wearing a helmet) for several years. I am 6 ft 4 inches and was able to fit easily in the seat AFTER I lowered it about 2 inches by cutting off and bending a portion of the seat attachment brackets. It wasn't difficult to do as I had done the same...

    Any Gen4 owners interested in gunning for an SCCA National Championship in 2012?

    Whoops forgot about the 19 inchers in the rear... Unfortunately rear gear changes are not allowed in Street Prepared or I would have changed years ago! SP does allow update and backdate changes but alas, the viper only came stock with 3.07's... Maybe the new Viper will have a more favorable...

    Any Gen4 owners interested in gunning for an SCCA National Championship in 2012?

    Jason, I have been experimenting with using 335-30-18's vs 345-35-18's on the rear of my ASP soon to be SSP (ugh!) '06 viper. It gives an effective rear gear ratio of 3.21 vs the stock 3.07. This allows me to use second gear more effectively on a lot of autocross courses. The only issue...

    Does anyone have pictures of a white SRT-10 coupe/convert lowered?

    Here are a few shots of my '06 VOI-9 Coupe at various autocross events:

    Anyone know this car?

    I think I saw this car at Marina Airport (autocross) which is very near Monterey once or twice. Seemed like a nice car, but I really did not check it out that carefully... One clue would be to check out the tires: If they are Hoosier A6's it really is an autocross car. If they are R6's it...

    Corsa and R/T high flow cat questions

    I initially upgraded to 3" RT Hi Flow cats and 3" Corsa exhaust on my 06 Coupe. I found that it made great horsepower and torque at high RPM's but cost me on the low end. Late last year I converted back to stock 2 1/4 " exhaust and found the stronger low end and mid range torque to be better...

    Gen4 engine mount-passenger side???

    I had a similar problem with the passenger side on my Gen 3... Once it was unbolted from the frame and engine, I couldn't get the engine mount out due to space constraints. I ended up separating the rubber portion from its bracket while it was disconnected but lodged in the tiny space available...

    Auto-Xing the ACR

    Jon... I did originally run 275's MX's on my 98 GT2 which was no fun. Eventually went to 285's... I have always run 315's on the front of my 06 (Hoosiers) and they work great. By the way, the real master at autocrossing a Viper is Jason Rhodes who just finished second at the Nationals in...

    Auto-Xing the ACR

    I'm not sure about the new ACR's, but I'd guess your car is likely to "push" in the corners rather than be loose. You can lower the rear tire pressures relative to the front to improve this situation. I used to run 4 more PSI in the front vs the rear of my 06 coupe. Now I have increased...

    An Open Begging Post To Srt R.e. 2009 Viper!!!!!!!!

    I thought I read somewhere that the Gen 3's have only 1 layer of clear-coat whereas the earlier Vipers all had 2 layers of clear-coat. This might explain the reason the Gen 3's are so susceptible to chipping, scratching, etc. In any case it is a huge problem--My '06 VOI9 Viper has 4x the damage...

    SRT-10 ABS sensitivity to tire diameter

    I hope to make it to the San Diego Tour or El Toro Pro Solo... But cost is an issue!

    SRT-10 ABS sensitivity to tire diameter

    FYI, last year I ran 315/30-18 fronts and 335/30-18 rears (Hoosier A6) with no problems... Front: 25.6" Rear: 25.6" Ratio: 1.0

    High Flow Cats legal in Cali?

    FYI, I intalled the 3 inch High flow cats and 3 inch corsas on my 2006 and passed Calif. smog a week later... (Oh, my stock cats were rattling too...!!)

    cool photo

    This weekend I attended an "American Autocross" event at Alameda Naval air station. A guy named Mark Serr took this awesome picture (artwork?) of my fully prepped Viper. Obviously the photo was tweaked for black and white but the scene is real with San Francisco in the background and the Bay...

    Got a question for all who used the aftermarket motor mounts. Pics.

    I am curious as to how you guys were able to remove the passenger side motormount/bracket... Did it come out from the top or the bottom? Did you have to remove the exhaust manifold? Exactly how high were you able to jack up the motor from the frame? etc... thx, Al

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    I just noticed you live in the San Diego area... I will see you there at the tour event in 2 weeks! Last time I was there (2006 Tour event) Scotty took first place in ASP in your car! I came in "mid pack" in my old '98 GTSR... Al

    J-Rho autocrosses an SRT-10 in SCCA SS class

    Since you now own Scotty's old Viper, you own parts of my VOI-9 coupe! Scotty and I traded his delrin bushed control arms for my stock ones which are now on your viper. FYI, I am a pretty serious autocrosser running in ASP. I have done nearly all that can be done to the car in the street...

    Got a question for all who used the aftermarket motor mounts. Pics.

    2 weeks ago I went through the same thing... What I thought was a half day job turned into several days of putzing around. My first problem was that I could not get the motormount/bracket out from under the passenger side--even after removing the cross member/air inlet box/etc. I just couldn't...

    Has anyone built their own front swaybar?

    Has anyone built their own front swaybar?

    correction...Has anyone built their own front swaybar? I just re-read my post regarding a softer swaybar up front... You need it to correct for an understeer condition (Push) NOT oversteer!

    Has anyone built their own front swaybar?

    I believe you will need a softer front swaybar to correct the understeer problem seen on nearly all Vipers... (Gen II and Gen III for sure) I drive an 06 coupe fully prepared for autocross (ASP class) It has 3-way adjustable Motons, Quaife Posi, 3 inch Corsa exhaust, delrin bushed control...

    GTS vs SRT10 coupe

    I'm on my 3rd Viper... Oddly enough, all of them were white with blue stripes ('96 RT10, '98 GTSR, & '06 VOI9 coupe. Anyway, each successive generation has more horsepower, and more "creature comforts". Specific things I like better about the "stock" SRT-10: Much better brakes; a little more...
