    Viper Loses Brakes During Turn

    Several years ago I remember seeing a video of a viper losing its brakes entering a turn in 4th gear. The viper ends up rolling 5 times. I seem to remember that the passenger was a quite well known instructor. The video was removed. The explanation I heard for removing the video had to with...

    Anyone know how many Pulses per Output shaft rotation?

    Will the Mopar CPU help in this application?

    Last Saturday the North Texas VCA hosted a dyno event. My GTS registered 485 RWHP and 518 TORQ. The graph showed the Air Fuel ration as about 13.5 to 13.3 from 4500 to 6000 rpm. This is on the lean side. The question is, will the Mopar computer help me on this car? My car has...

    What's the rubber diaphram in clutch master for?

    What\'s the rubber diaphram in clutch master for? About a year ago I had fun doing a complete flush of the hydraulics for the clutch system, (97 GTS). A year later, the fluid in the reservoir is black again. It looks to me like this is coming from the black diaphram in there disintegrating...

    If someone buys an SRT-10, is it illegal for them to re-sell it? I know that there is nothing in the USA constitution about property rights, but I don't understand how the US LAW could prevent the SRT-10 OWNER from doing this. I keep hearing about people losing there certificate because of...

    Dodge Viper Thermal Insulation kits now available

    These sound like a great idea, and I don't dispute your needing to charge this much for the product. Here is some price feedback anyway. I'd be interested in a pair of header heat shields at about 1/3 the price- $300 for the pair. Actually this is about the same for the remaining parts. at...

    MGW gear shift too short?

    I've got a ripper shifter installed. My original gear shift knob was hideously worn after 69K miles, so I bought one of the MGW shifters. The problem is that the MGW shift knob is so short that I can't get the leverage that I need to shift gears reliably, and reverse is now a TWO handed...

    Is Mobile One 15W50 OK in a Viper?

    OK, So I'm a moron! I'm used to changing the oil in my 911 Turbo, and I always use 15W50 Synthetic Mobile One. Not thinking, I used the same in my Viper. The manual says to use 10W-30. Do I need to drain this and replace my 15W-50 with 10W-30 or am I OK? Any opinions??? Thanks! Paul

    New Exhaust sound sso much better- Borla

    Well I just finally fixed the exhaust on my Viper. After going almost deaf with headers, high flow cats and a set of bullet mufflers in the rear with a cross over tube- This car was obscenely loud. It basically sounded like no muffler at all, and it was impossible to talk in the car at any...

    Steering Rack Toe Pattern Shims

    Oh the joys of owning a used car worked on by an incompetent mechanic... While tracking down a slight amount of play in the steering of my Viper I noticed that I could move the power steering rack up and down about 1/8 of an inch. Turns out some careless mechanic neglected to replace the two...
