    A question for owners of 600-700+ h.p. Snakes

    Hi Paul,My Hennessey Venom 650R is a dream to drive on the street. I think drivability issues will pretty much depend on how the car is set up for it's power, and how that power was achieved. If everything was done properly, a 200+HP increase in power doesn't mean that the car has to be a bear...

    Cost of Viper ownership?

    Hi SnakeCharmer, Probably the most common problem you will encounter, will be wanting to replace perfectly good stock parts with even better ones from our Viper Tuners & Suppliers. This will probably start with small stuff at first, but, after the first season of ownership, the seduction will be...

    Help! Hesitation problem?

    Hay Aaron, I think you might want to loose the Platinum Plugs also. They are NOT compatible with the electrics in your Viper system. Just don't use any "Platinum" type brand. (Someone please correct me if I am wrong) JD

    Cold Weather driving.

    Hi. I do a lot of cold weather driving here in Montana. With the Viper, rule #1 is use your God given common sense.(Of course, this applies in all seasons). If you feel uneasy about taking the snake out DON'T. If you have driven any appreciable miles in the beast, you know the limits. Why take...

    Rear end noises

    Hi Matt. Geoff has some good suggestions. You definitely need the friction modifier added when changing the rear end fluid. Not all shops remember to put it in. As for the whining & clunking, for some reason, Chrysler chose to have a exceptionally large gear backlash. My friends GTS was about...

    Viper Trans questions

    For those of you who wonder what the heck I'm babbling, I wrote this reply to John B..... No personal relation to the 101 Airborne. I have always admired this war story though. Two years ago, I put "NUTS" on my Vipers license plate. I would tell people it was my little "rub" for the German...

    Recommend a replacement tire?

    I have no problem recommending the Michelin Pilot Sport. I use them on my 97 GTS. You can replace them with the stock size or if you wish, go a plus size on the fronts. I haven't found any bargain prices on these tires though, at least not like what was offered on the discontinued mxx3's. The...

    Hennessey 550 Viper

    FLAME GUARDS UP! Marc,and fellow Board members: Yes, God Bless America and Free Speech. My point here is that Marc has chosen to speak to the Viper community on this issue by repeating his personal innuendo, forsaking the Viper Boards Policy to "STATE THE FACTS". If Marc's grievance with John...

    Quieting Borla Droning?

    Hi Zippy. My GTS had the problem when fitted with the Borla System. I rapped the pipes with heat tape from just forward of the rear axle and then pulled up the carpet and added sound pad insolation material (like you find in the car sterio shops) to the body pan and bulkhead behind the seats...

    NACA duct plug ?

    Marv, Although the ducts are a "ram air" type, the stock air colection box has a rain baffle to divert rain water from the intake. Some feel that by eliminating this baffle feature, a better ram flow is achieved. The problem is that if large quantitys of water enter the intake instead of being...

    Hennessey 550 Viper

    Geoff,the 550 is quite an automobile. I myself have a Venom 650R, and have been very pleased with the modifications. As with all used cars, have the unit thoroughly checked out mechanically before you make such an investment. As for Mr.Lublins comment,you might have noticed that he has a...

    NACA duct plug ?

    Hi John. I too had concerns when I modified my air intake. I tried many different ways to plug the NACA duct to keep the rain out, but concluded that should the plugging material be ingested, the results would be as bad as the water. Of course, with cones you wouldn't have this problem, but...

    Pinging

    Hi Ron, I too have had the problem you described. The use of a colder plug (I use NGK 7252's pretty much cured the problem. You still need to blow the carbon out with some hard runs occasionally.Oxygenated fuels aggravate the problem. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana...
