Hi Martin. I told you that this car was too much fun! It sounds like you are pulling a few more HP than I do. I will re-dyno on Saturday in Denver, if I don't get caught in some snow on the way from Montana to Colorado. Will be in touch with you to compare figures. Did you go with the Sound...
Great numbers George! Three thousand dollars in two days. WOW is right! Never underestimate the power of the Viper Nation. After some of the wonderful things you have done for us viper owners, I hope this is a indication of our appreciation. Today being payday (a shameless hint), perhaps a few...
As we grab the keys to our Vipers this weekend, for less than it costs for a gallon of gas in our beloved snake, a contribution to "C.O.T.A for Aaron" will help this child. For the price of a tank full of gas,if you can spare it we, The Viper Nation, can make a significant difference and feel...
"Parts is Parts" quoted an old biker as he wrenched on his Harley Davidson. "If ya got em, and ya can put em on, the bike will run forever"! Automobiles are just parts too, and some times machines need service, and some times something breaks. Vipers are VERY durable machines. As stated before...
I just looked outside, and it's snowing AGAIN. Might have known this would happen. We have an Autocross planed this weekend. Better than Ice Racing I guess. Any one in Minnesota wana trade some rain for some snow? You don't have to sandbag with snow!
I've had a GTS for almost 4 years and never looked back at the Euro & Japanese cars I've driven, or even American for that matter. I liked the car so much, I opted to modify the car with a "Hennessey 650R package", to enhance what was already a good performer. The car is "bullet proof". Chassis...
I have had the "tuneable" exhaust on my 650R for the last year. Compared to the Borla system I ran before Hennessey modified the car, the Power Effects system really cuts down on that annoying drone while giving great sound. Inside the car, the adjustable system doesn't seem much different in...
Welcome Axe. Suggestion: make plans (if you haven't already) to join the VCA and get acquainted with your local region. Your Viper experience will be even greater when you hook up with these wonderful people and their events! Best Wishes, Jim Davis
Re: Burping Required for \'97 GTS ? Best H2O to Coolant Mix ?
50/50 Ethylene Glycol & Distilled Water is what the factory recommends. This will provide freeze protection to -35F and maximum cooling. Use a Antifreeze formulated specifically for Aluminum engines. For added cooling, you might...
Hi Tom. Montana did away with it's "reasonable & Prudent" (open)
daytime speed limit last year. Current laws are 75 MPH on Interstates, 70 MPH on secondary roads except where posted otherwise. Granted, it is more fun than most the speed limits back East, but the fines are not. The Cops use...
What's the deal Martin. Is John supplying the parts, and MacIntosh Performance doing the build instead of sending the car to Houston? Just wondering. Jim Davis
(IMHO) I have used "the little rabbit pellets" in older cars and the occasional farm tractor with mixed success. On one hand, the stuff did stop the leak. The exception was that it eventually clogged up the radiator, heater cores and controls on occasion. Granted, the cooling systems were old...
99T1, you may be right, but I found the $600 price in the 21st addition of the Pegasus Auto racing Supply catalog which is mailed to S.C.C.A members. Their web address is pegasusautoracing.com Their phone number is 1-800-688-6946. The company is located out of New Berlin, Wisconsin. Autopower...
This condition is irritating but normal. As the car comes to a stop the idle should drop. (To over symplify) The delay is programmed I believe to facilitate smoother shifts and improve emissions.
Brendan, F.Y.I., to the best of my knowledge, Hennessey 650R's are all 488 CID engines now. No strokers. Still a strong engine with fairly comprable performance, HMS is doing it with fewer cubic inches! Durability of the new LPE stroker is yet to be proven over extended use. The 650R engine is...
The cylinders are numbered from front to rear; 1,3,5,7,9 on the left bank and 2,4,6,8,10 on the right bank. The fireing order is 1,10,9,4,3,6,5,8,7,2. Information taken from section 9-10 Gen 2 service manual 81-270-7150 Hope this helps. (JD)
I just posted a reply on the previous "spark plug" thread by Albert. To recap: Platinum plugs have more resistance than standard plugs and will cause the windings in your coil packs to overheat thus leading to ignition failure. Platinum plugs should only be used in systems designed for their use...
For those who are thinking of using Platinum Spark Plugs, I will try to answer your question: "why should we NOT use Platenum spark plugs in our Vipres". My Viper Tech provided the following explination: "Platinum Spark Plugs have a higher resistence than standard type plugs (a standard type...
