    Why do nice cars end up at Auction?

    Does anyone know why a nice car (like a Viper or 911TT) would end up at an auction? Seems to me that if the car was up-and-up a dealer would pick it up? Should I be concerned about buying a used Viper/911TT/Lambo if carfax tells me it was at an auction? Some of these have been there twice...

    are all slate grey vipers "pearl"?

    are all slate grey vipers \"pearl\"? I saw a really cool slate grey pearl viper on a local lot. Unfortunately, the sales people did not know if all slate grey SRT10s were "pearl" or if that was an addition on top of the slate grey. They charged $600 for the paint. Anyone know if all slate...

    Viper is still the best car for my money...

    First the sad news: I crashed my '05 roadster a couple of weeks ago. Totalled :( Now the interesting news: I think I'll end up getting another Viper (this will be my 3rd). I have to admit - based partially on some of the ragging from this board over the past year, I was starting to lose...

    Vec2 Installation instructions for Gen3?

    Well - I made the plunge and picked up the Vec2. I have not yet gotten the card burner but I expect to shortly. Curious - do any of you have instructions for installation on a Gen3? The ones that came with it were for Gen1 and the VEC already has the gen3 harnesses. I just have 4 extra wires...

    silly vec2 question..

    I am looking at buying a Vec2. Do I need to also get a smart card burner or can I use my computer to tuen and download the program? Does it come with a basic card? If so, when I put the card in, would it over-ride any settings I download? Then when I pull the card out, would it revert to my...

    Running shorter tires in the rear of an SRT/10?

    Curious – does anyone out there run the same height tire in front and back? Kai - what do you run? All that discussion about tourque, gearing and tire sizes got me to thinking (I know – kind of dangerous :) ) I am not certain what the official size of the SRT/10 stock tires are but lets...

    how do I change my member name?

    what if I drilled the K&Ns out more?

    Do any of you more mechanically inclined folks have a theory on what would happen if I drilled the holes out a bit more (e.g. something like 9/16th on the left and 5/16 on the right)? Not really thinking of doing it but just curious if anyone has thoughts on what would happen. cheers - j

    Know why the vettes pulled me - K&N strikes again

    I finally figured out why those pesky corvettes were pulling me on the straights. At least part of it turned out to be the K&Ns. I just bought them a month ago from parts rack so I figured they would be "the new ones". After taking them apart today, I noticed that one of the holes in my...

    URG: Need +50rwhp in my SRT..

    Folks - I am trying to get another 50rwhp from my 2005SRT to give me some hope of beating my friend who has his C6 Z06 coming in about a month. Car is stock right now except for motons, eibachs, K&N, flywheel and 3.55 gears. Advice has been all over the map so I figured I'd check this...

    Is porting and polishing worth is?

    Folks - I am trying to squeeze out about 50 more rwhp from a totally stock Gen III motor but I'm reluctant to really "open up" the motor. A supercharger is probably more money than I want to spend and I'd worry about it at the track. A friend of mine was hyping up getting the heads ported and...

    Great track day with the Vettes. Still need 50rwhp. Ideas?

    Had a great day at Portland International Raceway with a few of my Viper friends. James Retych (WA president), George Wirsch, Scotty Twyler and John Coleman all showed up. The first session was a bit embarrassing for the viper crowd. 2 out of 3 spun off the track <oops>. James had a...

    Stripes on the new coupe?

    Do the front stripes on the new coupe seem kind of odd to anyone? I was surprised to see them straight. It really leaves a lot of body curves on the table by not following the hood buldge like most of the SRT after market stripes do. Reason I comment is that I am in the process of designing...

    how does rebound affect handling?

    I posted this on the SRT list but I figured some of the smart people may not be monitoring this one so I tied you guys as well. Can anyone help me understand how "too much" or "too little" rebound affects the handling? i have a set of adjustable motons for my SRT and I want to be able to dial...

    how does rebound affect handling?

    Curious - Can anyone explain how rebound affects handling of the car? I saw tht kai had her the rebound on her motons dialed in at setting #3 but I'd be more comfortable if I could understand how more or less rebound translates into handling. Any thoughts? j

    First SRT track day - kind of a mixed bag (but still a blast)

    Had my first open track day in the SRT. I'd give the driver a C, the car a B+ and the run flats a D grade. I was about 5 seconds off my best time in the GTS for a number of reasons - not the least of which is that this was my first time out for the year (as well as my first time in an SRT)...

    stock ride hieght for the SRT10?

    I just got my motons and eibachs installed and my the shop told me they lowered the car 1.25 inches in front and 1 inch in the rear.Problem is, the car looks just the same as when I brought it in. Still 3 fingers on top of the stock front tires to the fender well. Since I have heard on the...

    mounting Moton resevoirs inside the car?

    Well, I just got my Motons and springs for the '05 but now I have an odd question. I would like to mount the resevoirs inside the engine bay (for the fronts) and inside the trunk (for the rear). I recall someone else doing this recently. Question: Can I disconnect the resevoir from the shock...

    spring rates to go with motons?

    Curious - can any of you recommend a good spring rate package for the SRT? i just ordered some Motons because I want to lower it a bit but I have been getting conflicting advice on the spring rates. I do 6-10 track days per year and like to drive hard on the track. Rest of the time its a...
