    Most beautiful Viper out there

    My favorite has changed a few times. I must have stared at that white ACR with the blue stripe almost daily, back when it was listed on ebay. But now, it is the GT3-R race car that makes me drool.

    First impression of my new TA

    The carbon splitters are likely not rubbing at all, they are pretty high off the ground. They actually don't lower the nose any further than the stock bumper cover. The black plastic rectangles in front of each tire are typically what rub. I like having those as audible scrape detectors :)

    Approx value of 1996 GTS Coupe Blue with white stripes

    Mine too. The convertibles never really intrigued me, but when I first saw the blue/white coupe concept vehicle, my jaw hit the ground. That led to me buying the '06 blue/white when it became available. I would still like a '96 blue/white to park. Those cars will surely appreciate in value...

    First impression of my new TA

    Very good comparison, I noted all of those between my Gen 3 and Gen 5. Thick steering wheel takes a little driving to get used to. I don't hate it, but I do prefer my Gen 3/4 wheel thickness more. Especially if you track with gloves on, because that makes the thicker wheel feel even more...

    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    I have a digital nitrous controller from Nitrous Outlet. It is set to arm itself in 2nd gear and up. Basically, you set the max rpm window limit (6,200 rpm in my case) and the controller watches for your rpm to cross that rpm one time, then it arms the system for the next wide-open-throttle...

    nitrous

    Purging INTO the engine? That is highly dumb. External purge solenoid, for me.

    nitrous

    Purging is serious bizniss. :omg: Nitrous backfires can happen, regardless of if a car is purged or not. All it takes is a hint of pre-ignition with an intake valve open. That is why I only run C16 fuel when I'm spraying.

    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    No runs without the spray. I had mostly runs against other cars, and I prefer to run all-out :)

    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    Went drag racing again today, another track rental day. Weather wasn't as good as last time, temps in the 60-65F range and sunny. Ran a new best ET and mph. Here are all my runs, I was practicing launch methods.

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    I prefer American cars. I do like the 911 though, always have. GT3 is more my style.

    I rarely purge, only after swapping bottles out.

    Hey FLL, do you own a Porsche 911? Cool story. Never knew that!

    New Owner 2006 Coupe First Edition 175/200

    You are going to have to relocate. We can't have two FE coupes in the Woodlands area, and I had mine first. Haha, congrats. Tony

    2006 Gen 3 Coupe questions

    Forged shortblocks range from $9-15K, depending on parts and upgrades, or if you stick with stock main caps or billet mains. I used Late Model Engines, here in Houston, for mine.

    Took Some Pics of New Wheels

    Nice car, but needs less 4x4. Unless driving on dirt roads is the norm ;)

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    That was perfect. I think I saw the same phenomenon on a Nissan GT-R site before. Zero driver skill = might as well ride a rollercoaster. I'm also bored with FLL's constant 911 nut-swinging here. I honestly think he sits there before every response he makes, trying to figure out how he can...

    Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads

    Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa My Forgelines are 19x10.5 front with 295/30-19 MPSS tires. They are 26.0" tall, 1 inch taller than the stock tire.

    any of you guys own a 6speed f430?

    The Ferrari sounds good at WOT, but you'll be wondering where they hid the torque and throttle response.

    Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads

    Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Even with the taller MPSS front tire, my car still has a forward rake. Still on stock suspension. Look how nice that front fender gap is, compared how it looked stock. This taller front tire is the correct...

    No issues with that size.

    Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pads

    Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa 345/35-19 is a factory Viper tire size, for Gen 3-4. They fit well on the 13.0, but I agree that 12.5 is ideal appearance-wise. I typically spec my Viper and Z06 customer rear wheels to 12.5 because it looks...

    Re: Driving TA on street P-Zeros for road trips to distant tracks, and spare brake pa Michelin Pilot Super Sports fit the stock wheels excellent. Every Gen 3-5 Viper has identical 13.0 wide rear wheels, btw. 285/35-18 front (factory rated for up to an 11.0 front wheel, ours are 10.5)...

    Video: Billet Silver VIPER GTS driven by Jonathan Bomarito

    Nice review. Would have liked to see some wide open throttle blasts and in-car footage of banging gears though.

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    If you ever get to see an automatic C7 at the drag strip, pay attention to how well they launch. The car takes off like it has a loose torque converter, just on the initial bite. About half-way through 1st gear, the converter then locks up, making it put more power down. It almost sounds like...
