    New Roe, Scratch one Porsche GT3!

    Sounds like fun! :laugh: I'm definitely going to get one someday. But you should have told the guy that it was stock. ;) That would have given him nightmares. :eek: Power...there is no substitute. :2tu:

    FORGET WHAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FORD GT!!!!!!

    The thing to understand about the Ford GT is that the early prototypes were rated at 500HP/500TQ, and early tests put the acceleration at just about the same as the SRT-10 Viper. But if you keep track of the testing as time went on, they obviously raised the boost on the supercharger and did...

    Autoform Rollbar

    I believe that the famous Torqenstein SRT-10 Viper that ran in the Gumball ralley and rolled the car at 140MPH was using the Autoform rollbar. :eek: And both the driver and passenger walked away from the accident with minor injuries, which is VERY impressive! :2tu:

    NEWS FLASH AUTOWEEK CONFIRMS (KINDA) 500HP Z06 0-603.5SEC

    I saw FIVE C6 Corvettes on the road yesterday. And the hard part for the C6 Z06 is that (tiny scoops and bigger wheels aside) it looks essentially just like the regular C6 Corvette. Blending in was the ZR-1 Corvette's problem as well to being seen as a supercar, or truly unique. The added...

    Plug Wires

    Actually the new red MSD wires, you can definitely see a visible improvement over stock wires. ;) And there definitely was an improvement in performance, but the old wires were only getting spark through on 9 of them. :D Plus the MSD's look better made with molded ends, and solid...

    stepping up from S2000

    The general guidelines are to avoid punching the gas in a corner until you become familiar with the car. And generally roll-on to the gas as if there was a raw egg between your foot and the pedal. The engine's power can easily overwhelm the big tire's grip in lower gears. Don't downshift from...

    stepping up from S2000

    I don't have a SRT-10, but I do live in the Bay Area too, and I love driving up in the mountain roads. And have driven my Viper almost every day for 3 years now. It's hard to say exactly what your impressions will be as the S2000 is nearly the polar opposite of the Viper in it's execution. I...

    '03/'04 Cobra.........What outcome?

    Re: \'03/\'04 Cobra.........What outcome? No helmet! And in a convertible! That's amazing. I usually get warned when I run under 12 seconds, and the R/T10 has a built-in rollbar. I'm hoping that they will have more leeway next time I run because of the new NHRA guidelines that allow down to...

    '03/'04 Cobra.........What outcome?

    Re: \'03/\'04 Cobra.........What outcome? Thanks for the info. I was just curious. I used to own a Mustang convertible myself (Performance Red). Drag radials make a huge difference in launch capability, but your trap speed shows that you have the power all right. It's surprising that the...

    What Kind Of RWHP Are You Guys Getting On Dyno??

    I've had the Roe HF oval cats for well over a year with no problems at all. Maybe whoever installed them didn't weld them in, or otherwise left an air gap that is causing them to burn up and leak. :eek:

    Re: \'03/\'04 Cobra.........What outcome? Fun video! :laugh: Was your 11.74 time with street tires? What was your trap speed?

    Diablo vs Viper....

    Diablos are amazingly rare on the street, and they look like an exotic car, so you'd expect tons of attention. :eek: But I'm regularly surprised at people's reaction to the Viper. It truly makes you feel like a celebrity. The regular questions are "how fast does it go?", and "how much did...

    Plug Wires

    I just faced this choice last week. One of my spark plug wires shorted out against the plug heat shields and needed replacement. Looking through past VCA threads I saw the main choices were Stock OEM, OEM Blue wires, Magnacor, Jacobs(blue) and MSD(red). And I picked the MSD wires as they were...

    Any news on the Coupe?

    I think that it's vital that the SRT-Coupe is revealed either just before, or at the same time as the C6 Z06 Corvette. There has been a press hyperbole building around the upcoming Z06, and VOI8 was the only glimpse/hint about what the SRT-Coupe will be like. Unlike some here, I think that the...

    Any news on the Coupe?

    Congrats on passing! :laugh: I'm not sure that we will get any more news until the Jan 15th NAIAS auto show, where hopefully they will be publically unveiling the SRT-Coupe.

    If D/C wants to sell us a Copperhead Viper, we need REAL PIC'S...like NOW!

    Re: If D/C wants to sell us a Copperhead Viper, we need REAL PIC\'S...like NOW! I wonder if DC is holding off on showing the Copperhead Orange color until the Jan 15th NAIAS show (hopefully along with the SRT-Coupe). It would make sense to reveal them both with a big publicity splash. :2tu...

    Diablo vs Viper....

    I think that the Diablo is very clean looking in white. I've always liked the Diablo's style much more than the Countach. I think that the Viper and Diablo are very similar in outrageousness, but the SC would definitely make the Viper much quicker (providing that you have decent traction)...

    Lotus Elise vs. Viper

    I really like the new (for U.S.) Elise. It is the polar opposite of the Viper. Two vastly different approaches to going fast. :2tu: I know that I'd never trade the Viper for and Elise, but the new Elise would be on my short list if I was looking at getting another fun car in addition to...

    "SNAKE KILLER...CORVETTE ZO6 ...500HP IN SPRING 05'

    Re: Daimler/Chrysler already have several cars with more than 600HP on the street today (and almost 750FTTQ!!), from the Mercedes CL65, SL65, to the McLaren SLR. :eek: Whether they will put out a 600HP Viper, and not have any traction control at all is unknown, but I do believe that DC...

    lowering the srt10

    Does Northwind have lowering coil caps for the SRT-10 Viper? I have these on my Viper and they lower the car about an inch, without changing the coils or shocks. The car still needs realignment afterwards, but it was a nice interim step without spending big bucks, or adversely affecting the...

    SRT10 with V8 ?

    I'd be very surprised if this was true. Outside of the new BMW's ugly Bangle styling, the only great advantage that Mercedes has had in their sedan wars is power. BMW has stuck to normally aspirated engines, and have had most all of their cars coming out MUCH slower than their Mercedes AMG rival...
