    I thought I would check with the experts! My '08 has 2 sets of wheels and tires and I am swapping now to break in some other tires. Using just a racing jack I am going one corner at a time. I started on the Driver's front and once I had removed all lugs with the wheel slightly lifted off...

    Time for Coolant Flush?

    This morning I dropped by 12,700 mi. 2008 Gen IV to the Dealer to handle a few items and I asked about any scheduled maintenance. One thing the dealer mentioned was a "coolant flush" which is apparently due at 5 years, but he suggested it given the non-daily use of the car and the fact that it...

    The new C & D magazine just arrived and shows many cars "worth waiting for." The photo of the new Gen V Snake is not good! Hopefully this is NOT the Gen V we will see! Let's bring on the Volado!

    Gen IV TPMs Question

    About 6 mos. ago I added new wheels with NEW OEM TPMs for the new wheels. I kept the OEM sensors from my OEM wheels with those factory wheels. I do not think My wheel installer could not sync the new sensors on the new wheels at the time of install (they tried but could not get it)...

    Location of Gen IV Front SnakeHead?

    I need to replace the front Viper emblem/badge on my Gen IV and was hoping someone could tell me how far down from the top edge of the front fascia (where it meets front edge of the hood) the top of the badge starts? Knowing this will make it much easier to stick the new badge in the correct...

    Gen IV Header Gains

    After reviewing the various VCA and other threads and other information on Gen IV Headers and High-Flow Cats, I am just a bit curious about the claimed gains. The new ACR-X provides a good example. Dodge states that the ACR-X has 640 crank hp/585 crank trq. on 91 octane and 640 crank hp/605...

    Use of 19"F/20"R Wheels on Gen IV for HPDE

    I have a 2008 SRT-10 Coupe and am thinking of changing my OEM Razors for 19/20 wheels. My car is 90%+ street with an ocassional HPDE on street tires. I believe that the wheel/tire size would be the same as OEM based on different tire aspect ratios, etc. and the new wheel/tire combos would...

    Downforce for Gen IV Coupes

    Does anyone have any ideas for adding front and rear downforce to Gen IV Coupes short of the ACR Goodies? The ACRs are awesome, but I really do not want the giant tail for the 95% street driving my car sees (I only attend an ocassional HPDE on street tires). Ferrari and others seem to...

    Gen IV; Paint Blasted from inside of Rear Wheel Wells

    Just noticed that the paint on the rear inside of my passenger rear wheel well is blasted to show some of the yellow beneath the paint (my car is GTS blue). It looks like debris thrown from the tire has just taken the paint off. While it is easy enough to have my guy repaint the area, I am...
