Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all of your support and well wishes with the closure of DC Performance. All of us appreciate your business over the years. I must admit that it was discouraging for me after being part of the Viper since it's inception. Our business model with 9 employees and 3 owners just could not ride out the storm, no new Vipers and a poor economy kind of put the nail in the coffin.

I looked at several options moving forward including taking my show to the dealers or working directly with SRT, but I kept coming back to what I love......taking care of you Viper owners and building amazing cars. I've worked hard on a new business model and certainly know what works and what does not. What I have come up with is a smaller, more focused and professional shop. The new operation will have a world class look and provide everything a Viper owner or racer might need, under one roof. One big plus will be a pickup and delivery service. I have much more to share, but I will wait for the launch.

My question to the So Cal Viper community is what do you want from a new Viper shop? And where would you like us to be? We are looking at locations now.

For those in need I can still help, just give me a call.

Thanks and take care,

Hey Everyone,
We are headed out to Irwindale Thursday at 5:00 to dragrace a few Vipers. All are invited and Lyle Larson will be giving pointers. It should be great fun! Feel free to meet up with us. Dan Cragin 310-597-6295.

The Viper "Posi unit" has always been an area for improvement on all generation cars. The job of the posi is to apply power to both the rear wheels and to allow differences in wheel speed around corners. The better the posi the better the car grips and applies power to the wheels.

The most popular posi upgrades on the market are the "Quaife" and the "Superlock". Both these posi units apply power more evenly and precisely than the factory posi unit. These type of posi units keep the car going straight (instead of sideways) on hard acceleration and apply power more evenly around corners so you can accelerate harder out of turns.
Cars with higher than factory hp or cars used on the track often benefit most from this upgrade.

Well there is a new posi upgrade on the market for the 03-06 Viper. Its called a "Wavetrack" and has been used extensively in high performance European cars. Its an all gear drive posi like a Quaife, but has many advantages over a Quaife, especially in low traction conditions.

Here is the great news. Wavetrack has offered this upgrade for the first Viper customer at less than half the normal cost (about $1600). If anyone out there is interested. Please give me a call. Dan 310-841-6996

 Jim Shaffer had his car towed in for a no start condition and it turned into a possum extraction. We also do rats and snakes!

All of us at DC Performance want to thank you for your support over the last year.

Here is a little review of some cars we tested in 2011!
