    Standard Insurance for HPDE

    I am attending Chin's HPDE event at Road Atlanta Monday. I have been to other tracks (VIR, CMP, Roebling) but have never been to one with quite so much concrete. That got me a little worried about what would happen if my Viper had an intimate encounter with said concrete. I have searched...

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    I had the dreaded worn inner e-brake pad. Bought some new pads, took off the caliper, adjusted the piston, installed new pads... Now there is a lot of play in the pads. I am having to work way too hard to tighten the bolts that hold the caliper on too. I stopped just to make sure I didn't...

    Changing my clutch and mounts. Need a few suggestions.

    I have an 03 33k w/bolt-ons making 480/505 at the wheels. I use it mainly for track days and have no plans for any more mods. My clutch is releasing really high and searching the forums leads me to believe that means I need a new clutch. My shifter moves like crazy under acceleration and my...

    Lexus made an edition of the LFA specifically for this task. It seemed to work. They posted a 7:14. Here's a link to Jalopnik, with a link to the full article therein.

    Gen IV ACR suspension on a Gen III

    I have an 03 with bolt-ons (480rwhp and 506rwtq). I am happy with the suspension, but the track use it sees and the 32k on the odometer makes me think an upgrade would help the car and keep me safer. I am considering a switch to a set of ACR takeoffs and want to know what to expect. I know it...

    An all Viper Lemons team? Snake drivers wanted for Charlotte Motor Speedway!

    I am fielding a team in the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on 9/24-25. A couple of my teammates backed out and I am in dire need of some replacement drivers. I am new to the Viper community and think an all Viper owner team would be a good introduction into the community...

    Center Dash Panel Crack

    I have a bulge and two cracks in the center dash panel of my 03. The bulge is between the two bottom gauges and the cracks are at the top and bottom of the bulge. All this can kinda be seen in the following pics: I am going to install some dynaliner under the center console to mitigate the...

    ECU Tuning Problem

    I have an 03 with bolt-ons that I am having tuned. I did a cat delete, 160-degree thermostat, throttle body, etc., so I really need to get a tune to smooth things out and take advantage of the mods. The shop doing the work is an SCT dealer and has been on the phone with them trying to get...

    Need a good dynotuner near Greenville, SC (charlotte will work)

    I am wrapping up a bunch of bolt-on mods to my 03. Nothing major, just intake, throttle body, underdrive pulley, Cat-back, Cat-delete, Plugwires, Thermostat, and a few other minor things. I need a good Viper-experienced dyno tuner to get everything working in harmony. I live in upstate SC...

    Need some quick HELP

    I am doing a plugwire install and starting to remove the intake manifold. I cannot get the bolts that hold down the manifold to turn. I think I am supposed to be using a 3/16 hex key. That seemed like a better fit than everything else I tried. So here are the options I can think of: 1...

    Oil in intake manifold

    I have an 03 with 31k and no mods other than a K&N intake the first owner installed. I am installing some new plugwires and working on removing the intake manifold. I haven't gotten it off yet, but I noticed a fair amount of oil residue behind the throttle body. How big of a deal is this, and...

    Getting an Off-Road / Test Pipe made is more trouble than I thought

    I can't find a local shop with a mandrel bender. I know plenty of guys who can make me the pipe, but there will be a slight crimp in it since they will be making it with a normal bender. I was going to get a 2.5" pipe made since I am going to install a Gen IV cat-back and it's 2.5" anyway. So...

    My 03 gets sluggish when hot. Help before I get passed by a Vette!

    I have an 03 w/ 30k that I bought a couple months back. I bought it for general enjoyment and the occasional track day. It has no mods other than a K&N intake and stainless brake lines. I had no plans to do anything else, but am considering doing high-flow cats and a Gen IV cat back to help...

    dead battery, lots of clicking

    Just wrapped up a project and was about to pull the car off the lift. The battery was dead so I hooked up a charger to do a jump. The dash lit up like normal, ht all I got was a lot of clicking when I hit the start button. Work in progress. I would appreciate some quick help. Either...

    Blew up a half-shaft. Any suggestions?

    I hit a 1-2 upshift too hard this weekend and heard a nasty snap and looked to see bearings jumping down the street. Where can I get a good deal on a halfshaft and is there anything viper-specific I need to know for the install?

    Roadsters at VIR

    I bought an 03 a few weeks back to use as a track car. I am signed up for a track day at Virginia International Raceway this weekend, but am worried I may not pass their rules for convertibles. The event organizer said I just need to pass the broomstick rule. But I have also seen info online...
