    who's has used "low profile spring caps?"

    Re: who\'s has used My Gen II Northwind lowered coil caps dropped the car height 3/4 or an inch, which was a good compromise between the stock height (huge wheel well gaps) and lowered springs, which leave zero ground clearance for driveways and speed bumps. I did have the car realigned...

    I believe that you need cat sims to keep from getting engine codes.

    Top gear video - same track

    That's about as good as Clarkson's reviews get for American cars.;) I hope that they test the Viper coupe soon. And hopefully on a dry track, as opposed to the SRT-10 that they tested in the rain. :(

    DO I HAVE THE FASTEST STOCK VIPER OF ALL GEN'S

    Re: DO I HAVE THE FASTEST STOCK VIPER OF ALL GEN\'S I agree that it's not factory stock, but I for one am VERY impressed with your times on the Pilot tires! :2tu: I have quite a bit more power and I haven't hit 11.5 yet on the Pilots, so I applaude your driving. I'd agree though that you...

    Pics of GEN3 Wheels on my GEN1

    They really freshen the look of the Gen I. :laugh: And they look good with the green in particular.

    2002 GTS mods

    I have similar mods except for the headers and made 437RWHP/460RWTQ N/A. I figure that you would gain an extra 20RWHP/25RWTQ over those numbers with the headers added, but these cars do vary quite a bit in power output. I personally would NOT cut out the cats if you ever want to pass smog...

    Viper vs. Ford GT

    Make that new modded Z06, against a probably bone stock Ford GT. :cool: The Viper, Z06, and Ford GT are close enough in performance to have a good (or poor) driver make the difference from a standing start. But it's less of an issue with a rolling start, so unless the Ford GT guy missed a...

    Subject: 2006 Model Dodge Viper SRT10 - VOI.9 Edition Coupe

    I've been tempted by Bill's dealmaking prowess before. :cool: But I'm building a new house now, and so tempting toys are out of the picture until I'm finished. It's a temporary trade-off. :smirk: But Final Ed 357 is likely in the PM crosshairs of more than a couple dealers and...

    Performance from Supercharger?

    I'm sure that you could probably get a different pulley to lower the boost, but I don't think that a couple PSI lower cylinder pressure is going to make much difference in the long run. The Viper's engine is pretty understressed, even with cast pistons it should be able to handle the mild boost...

    Subject: 2006 Model Dodge Viper SRT10 - VOI.9 Edition Coupe

    I've read several threads about different dealers like Woodhouse who do the Paxton installs, and they look to be covered by their warranty. With Woodhouse's excellent reputation I'd say that you would be covered, but you will want to contact them to confirm it to be sure. I've got...

    Performance from Supercharger?

    Although actual performance depends on a great many things, Motor Trend tested the Venom 650R package (with 700HP) and got this level of acceleration... Power Output: 695 bhp @ 5,700 rpm (605 rear wheel hp thru catalysts) 695 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm (605 rear wheel torque) Acceleration (tested by...

    Looking at a SRT-C

    I prefer convertibles, and that's one of the big reasons why I never bought a ZR-1 or Z06 Corvette. You definitely want to get some driving time behind the wheel of the Viper to see if the cockpit suits your tastes. I'd also agree that if you are 5'-10" or taller and looking at a Viper, you...

    532rwhp/558rwtq - Who's run a similar Gen II at the strip?

    Re: 532rwhp/558rwtq - Who\'s run a similar Gen II at the strip? I've got pretty basic mods, 3.55 gears, high flow cats, Corsa cat back, smooth tubes, S&B filters, roller rockers, and a 100 shot of nitrous. :2tu: You should see between 0.5 and 1 second better times with drag radials over...

    Subject: 2006 Model Dodge Viper SRT10 - VOI.9 Edition Coupe

    Several dealers will install the Paxton supercharger which is 50-state smog legal, produces 700HP, costs $10K installed, and is covered under the warranty. So you could get this rare model Viper with Enzo-like acceleration for $100K-ish easy. :2tu:

    Z06 kill

    First off, nice kill. I'll agree that up to 60MPH the better launch in either car will take the lead, but from 2nd gear on the Viper walks away. Not runs, but steadily walks away. I did some side-by-side runs in a friend's Z06 and the difference was pretty consistant, even when trading...

    Viper vs. Ford GT

    It was a fun show to watch, and at least they were comparing the Viper to the Ford GT, as opposed to the Corvette. It was unfortunate to have a newbie driver in the Viper, but at least both drivers were poor. And the Viper guy did win one race. :laugh: The best magazine time for the Ford GT...

    2oz of Sterling Silver Viper key

    I like the Sneaky Pete key a LOT. :laugh: The Fangs key is also nice, but not quite as cool looking to me.

    Subject: 2006 Model Dodge Viper SRT10 - VOI.9 Edition Coupe

    Especially when you can get a 50-state smog legal, dealer installed Paxton supercharger that easily makes more power, and there are zero problems with registration and street driving. ;) But the VOI9 Edition itself does look very nice. :2tu:

    Vipers and Hooters and Ford GT's on Travel Channel today

    Re: Vipers and Hooters and Ford GT\'s on Travel Channel today Yeah I got my two seconds of fame )or at least my car did.;) I liked the program overall, and it was nice to see the Viper being compared to the Ford GT, rather than the usual Viper/Corvette comparisons that we have all been seeing...

    05 Heffner Twin Turbo SRT-10 Coming To Completion

    I like the AEM management aspect of being able to control the power in each gear. So many times I've seen street performance cars that have so much power that they overwhelm the tires in every gear. And are actually slower than cars with far less power. :confused: It will be interesting...

    I just got mine. Very creative. :laugh: The first packet was six cards, and a subsequent single Joker card with the FIA GT2 Viper coupe came right afterwards in the mail.
