    Financing a Viper Purchase

    I've been using PenFed since 2008. I got a used car loan for my Viper through them, and I also took out a personal $6,000 loan for some Viper upgrades..which will be paid off in 3 months! ;)

    Dakota rim as a spare tire???

    I took my spare tire out within 2 months after I got the car originally. Who would ever drive a Viper with a spare on it? That would be ridiculous, just get AAA. I've used them twice already and it worked out perfectly. Besides, I have a custom sub box built that's the same size of my spare, and...

    Dyno Result Help

    Wow, that is pretty much the same exact thing that happened to me last May when I went to that Dyno place. I only did two runs, the first time they told me to shut it off around 5700rpm and the second time around 5200 because my engine was also pinging.

    Any built head/cam package for sale?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen that site before. They could be fine to deal with, but I'm only sticking with vendors through the VCA. It's definitely a way better piece of mind when it comes to buying anything since everyone seems really helpful on here and you normally get better deals anyway. ;)

    Tire dilemma

    Bill, do you have any leads on a set of cheap PS2 tires? Obviously I would expect them to be used, but just looking for a set that are in good condition that will last this year and will buy brand new ones next year. My tires are the following: Michelin Pilot Sport 2, 295/30/ZR19 Michelin Pilot...

    2011 911 TT vs. 1997 Viper GTS

    I'll be jealous when you do hit 600rwhp haha. I was just thinking yesterday about eventually actually doing ported heads/cam or the possibility of a Super Charger lol. After I buy another daily driver, it's honestly either buying another fun car, or just making mine more fun having more power...

    Would you buy a Viper with 28000 miles

    As long as the car is in good condition as you stated, I wouldn't let the miles worry you. It can be hard to find a quality Viper now-adays at the right price, so if this car seems like a good deal for the quality and price, you should get on it fast. One of the biggest factors I put into play...

    anybody on the books for a new viper yet?

    Yea, I figured. That's the only bad thing about the newer Vettes and Vipers. It's great how the competition keeps making both cars faster, but with added HP, and other performance features over the years the price is increased A LOT obviously. It's too bad it couldn't stay in the 80-90k range. I...

    Has anyone heard what the expected price range is going to be? I kinda miss the GEN II pricing haha.

    2011 911 TT vs. 1997 Viper GTS

    It's hard to compare a newer 911 Turbo with an earlier GEN II Viper in the first place... If you took a 911 Turbo(993) from 96-99 and put it up against the GTS, it would be a close race. Both cars are very similar in performance. However, I believe the 911 would be slightly quicker off the...

    After my speeding ticket.......

    Nice! Thanks for the info man. I'm really hoping to hit 500-505rwhp(before 3.55 gears) consistently on the dyno, that is high hopes though haha. Realistically with all those mods I'm expecting at least 485-490 to the wheels. I think that's a fair estimate from everything I've seen with other...

    Not a happy Camper....

    Wow, I never knew about this... I also have a 96 GTS with almost 28,000 miles on it. Is this just something that commonly happens with aging of the car in general?

    After my speeding ticket.......

    Good advice Dom. Not sure if I'd ever take it to the track for a 1/4 mile run since I baby my car anyway. I was just curious to know what kind of performance gains people get on average with the mods I listed. If I'm going to dyno my car to get accurately numbers, I figured I'd like to at least...

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    If you do full exhaust, that would include new Headers as well which will most certainly put you well above $3-$3,500. New headers alone can run you anywhere from $1,400-$2,200 and that's not including any labor. My soon-to-be Full Exhaust is: American Racing Stepped Headers(Not installed yet)...

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    The #1 best thing you can do for around $3,000 including cost of labor to add performance to a stock GENII Viper would be new cat-back exhaust, high-flow cats and smooth tubes/air filter. Those were the first things I did, and for all the parts plus labor would be around $3-$3,500 tops. Yes...

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    I second this if performance is your #1 priority. A Super Charger will give you 160-180 +HP for around $8,000 or so I've been told. I would think labor would be anywhere from $2-3,000, so in the end you're looking at about $10-11,000. All the mods I listed together cost well above that and might...

    After my speeding ticket.......

    I know, you really can't get an accurate time without actually running your car in the quarter mile yourself... HOWEVER, I am curious to know if anyone has any idea on what kind of time I would get if or when I do take my car to the track to run a quarter mile. These are the mods my car will...

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    If you dyno'd your car with 3.55 gears and hit 475 HP, in reality your car most likely has more power to the wheels than that. Throwing stock 3.07 gears in would show you the true number since changing your gears to a higher number from stock lowers the HP readout on the dyno sheet. At least...

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    I was told with all the mods I listed including a custom tune with the SCT Tuner I could possibly hit 500 HP to the wheels. If not, extremely close to it since the SCT is good for around 25-30 HP. That's why I was figuring if I didn't quite make the 500 number, would TBs possibly give me the...

    Viper Shop in Maryland

    If you don't mind the drive, you could consider driving up to South Salem NY to see Chuck Tator at Tator's Garage. I live in MA and drove down there 2 summer's ago to have several things installed on my car. It was about a 3 and a half hour drive for me. I'm thinking it would be about 4 and a...

    Audio was the first thing I did in my car as well, along with Radar. I also did exhaust next, with Intake! :2tu:

    performance mods for a 2002 gts.

    Super Charger. Can easily remove it if you wanted to sell the car, and you'll get the most power for the best value spent. Other than that, you could use my car as an observation. These will be my N/A mods by end of summer. American Racing Headers American Racing Metallic High-Flow Cats Corsa...

    How bad was my trade in?

    If this was the case, the dealer wouldn't have turned around and sold it on ebay for $29k lol.
