    This is why you don't let friends drive your viper!

    My wife also drives ours to work sometimes. I'm fine with that, but the problem is she never wants to 'get in it', which is what I want her to do to see how much power it has and show her that she needs to respect it. My fear is one day she may want to pass a car and hit the throttle to go...

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    And one more question (sorry...) For those of you with cams, is it worth the expense versus the gain? I ultimately want a lopey idle that gives the car that true muscle appeal when it's sitting there idling and 'counting' off as the cam hits. Nothing extreme, just a nice lope. Is that...

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    Another question I have is once you exceed 500hp, which is basically where most of our cars start as advertised (at least Gen3's), is it really possible to 'feel' hp increases in short increments (~40hp at a time)? There is already enough seat of the pants feel when stock. I would imagine...

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    This is definitely true. I bought a truck once up in Washington state and ended up driving it home when I moved back to Louisiana. I was pulling all our stuff in an enclosed U-haul trailer and was getting ~10mpg. I figured once I got home and dropped the trailer it would pick back up to the...

    trunk lid wont stay up

    New struts for sure. Im having the same problem, especially in the cooler weather. One note for safety...... These struts can kill. Not saying it WILL happen, but the potential IS there. Being fire/rescue trained on jaws of life, part of our training is just about the rods from these units...

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    Stock before. No prior dyno. Just assuming advertised hp as a baseline. Steve-e, i totally agree with outcome. Thats why im asking here, as well as for fun as stated, but it gives me more of a justification for the work im doing if I can expect to see real numbers.

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    Anybody wanna take a stab to help me figure where I'm at in my build? I am curious to see what the opinions are. I haven't made it far yet, but I think I have enough to at least start bumping the numbers a little. Looking for either crank or rwhp guesses. This will also help me determine how...

    High flows installed...and other repairs

    I just finished installing the high flows. Thanks Cubican (still can't figure out where the shower curtain goes...)!! The sound is awesome! Can't wait to take it out tomorrow to meet with Broom and possibly other owners. I didn't get a sound clip yet because it's like 30 below freaking...

    This is why you don't let friends drive your viper!

    My older cousin tried to 'insist' the keys from me one time. Instead, I took him for a drive and got in it hard. We live on a one way road way back in the woods so I had plenty of room to play. After I swapped ends a couple times and pinned him to the seat he actually realized stepping into...

    Any Houstonians here?

    I live in La, but I do have an office in Houston. I have seen it but never sat in it, but I do travel that way quite often. Does that count?

    SCT tuner or upgraded PCM

    Okay, so both options have similar results but also have their own restraints. Got it. That's what I was looking for! I was just curious as I was under the impression that the only way to program my Gen 3 was to have the PCM sent off and flashed, buy a pre-programmed "cookie cutter" PCM, or...

    SCT tuner or upgraded PCM

    I guess I got a little confused today. I was bored and starting searching the net for upgrades for my car to see what all is out there and ran across the SCT Tuner from ROE. I was under the impression the only way we could get a custom program was to buy a custom tuned PCM, or have our...

    P0320 with no check engine light

    Update...I haven't gotten around to changing the sensor, but plan to this weekend while installing my high flow cats. I do have one questions though. Would it be easier to change it from underneath or through the engine bay? I haven't even looked for it an apologize for my laziness in asking...

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    Also, read further up. If you joined late your membership still renews at the end of the year. That part does suck, but this year you should get the complete issue of magazines.

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    Look at the benefits for each membership. It's there, you just need to justify whether you will use it all or not. I don't have a problem paying the dues for a club with so much to offer. From my early days as a true newbie to now, as an advanced newbie, I have gotten answers to all of my...

    Track Insurance

    Not to get too far off-topic, but what about normal insurance and normal street related accident claims? My understanding is these cars have specialized parts, even the hood, and I know in the past on other vehicles my adjusters have tried to go the 'cheap' route and find aftermarket products...

    Viper driving course nearby?

    Well, after broomrider's post on insurance I'm not sure it's worth the risk. Sounds like there is too much to lose for a fun day out. I can stick to my flying and get bigger thrills while remaining insured. It's a shame the rules are set that way. It would be nice to be able to finally...

    Track Insurance

    Well I'm glad you got the low down before the trip was scheduled. I for one was wondering if I participate in a sanctioned "safe driving" course for our cars that my insurance may give me a discount...for trying to be safer and all. But now that you got your answer, I don't think I will be...

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    I wish I had your memory....but they say it's the 2nd thing to go. Problem is I can't remember what the 1st thing was!

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    While we are clarifying membership, do all memberships end Dec 31 or do they get dated one year from join date? If somebody joined last month they are now having to repay for this year already if that's the case.

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    Yep, that's what it was! I got all my stuff back now. Anybody else having this problem go through the "RENEW!" link and pay up...everything will revert to what you had before the cancellation so you won't have to re-do your stats or sig. Thanks,

    Viper driving course nearby?

    Does anyone know of a good driving school that specializes in Vipers near to Baton Rouge? When I say "near" I'm good with a couple hundred mile radius. I think it would be fun plus I want my wife to get a safe, proper feel for how these cars can hurt you if you don't respect them. And to humble...

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    My signature and avatar is no longer as I had it. It seems to have reverted back to the original. What happened?
