    Venom 650R- 2 GSX1300R - 0

    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...

    EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!!!!

    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...

    Dodge reliability concerns-

    "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...

    Snow Again?

    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!

    Should I get a GTS?

    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...

    Exhaust noise & performance options

    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...

    new owner of blue/white 96 GTS!

    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

    Burping Required for '97 GTS ? Best H2O to Coolant Mix ?

    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...

    Silver State Classic -v- Autobahn -v- Montana

    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...

    Venom 800 Twin Turbo: 10.11 @ 137 mph

    Great Numbers John. I am curious as to what rear end ratio you are using to optimize hook-up with the twin turbo?

    Great Service from HMS

    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

    bad head gasket

    (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...

    Roll cages

    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...

    Idle does not drop when slowing down

    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.

    LPE (Stage II) Viper GTS

    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...

    Why not Bosch 4+ Platinum?

    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...

    spark plugs

    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...
