    How is wind blowing in the Gen III-IV Coupe w/windows open?

    One of the things I love about my GTS is that when you drive with the windows open there is no wind inside the cabin. Can anyone who has had both a GTS and a newer Coupe comment as to whether the new body style has the same windless feel as the old body? Same? Better? Worse?

    South Florida Dyno Day Graphs, Pictures, Videos

    A 30 rwhp penalty from 3.55 gears!!! No wonder my car has weak bragging numbers on the dyno? Assuming your cars are otherwise identical that is a full 5% difference. Jeebus Fikse: modded new ACR, GT-R daily driver, now a TT Gallardo - can you possibly make the rest of us feel any more...

    Gen 2 Edelbrock headers

    I usually chime in when there is a post about the Edlebrock headers. When I bought my car used it had a set on it. The mid-flanges (the ones discussed above that are in the middle of the header tubes) were warped horribly and had blown out the gaskets. I've known the Belangers for years and live...

    With all the "totaled Gen IV" post a year ago, any used GenIV engines out there?

    It seems to me that you Gen III guys (maybe Gen II guys also? - a GTS with a Gen IV engine sounds sweet!) who spend $20k building up an engine might do better transplanting in a Gen IV unit? No?

    Belanger headers install

    2.5" Belangers? Never heard of or seen that. The final collector on mine are the same 3" as the exhaust.

    Mostly color in my case: Wrinkle grey on the rocker covers, intake manifold and PCM cover with cowl piece painted to match body (sorry for strange color of these shots - too blue) Smooth tubes are also wrinkle grey powder coat (dang I need to clean up that throttle position sensor harness...

    2010 Dodge Viper Press release

    If they would have had the nads to do a do a .64 6th gear to go with that .80 5th and thrown some some 3.73s in the rear the 2010 Viper would be the greatest American car ever built (which would own the ZR-1 to 200 mph).

    Stuck in traffic jam tonight. Finally get up to wreck & solid black 98-02 RT/10 is

    being winched on to a flatbed. Northbound 101 in the east Scottsdale area (actually on an Indian reservation). Car was not hurt very badly, but of course if the hood was hurt it is probably a total. It is always sad to see a Gen II in distress. Anyone here on the board? Wonder if he got bit by...

    Do you ever just get tired of your viper ???

    My problem on that theory is that my daily driver is an SRT-8 Jeep. The dang thing is so fast it sates the need for speed.

    Do you ever just get tired of your viper ???

    Me too. Right now I'd honestly rather have a $35k watch than my 98 GTS. And that is with beautiful weather. Add in heat and it is a total no brainer.

    Pimping on narrow 22s. Is that the only Viper rollin' on 22s?

    JM Cylinder Heads STRIKER Head

    What I do not understand is if paxtonized Gen IIIs run 600 rwhp on stock bottom ends, why would you need to build the bottom end to make 600 rwhp. Surely higher boost normally aspirated is easier on the engine that boost?

    Where are all the Air Conditioner threads?

    Which in a 1997 is probably the o-rings in the system - particularly the ones sealing the hard lines that attach to the condensor radiator in front of your engine coolant radiator. My car would not hold a charge when I bought it used. I read on this forum that the early Gen II o-rings had issues...

    wrapping the exhaust with thermal wrap

    You are looking for a puffy spun ceramic blanket material called Cer-Wool. It is used to insulate kilns and equipment in the steel making industry. Sean Roe used to sell kits of it to wrap the exhaust inside the sills. I found that yes it does help with heat, but the flip side is it helps retain...

    Belanger Questions

    This is what Lou did for me years ago: he took a stock set of cats and modded them to have 3" inlets and 3" oulets. The system uses two 3" ID straight through mufflers on each side so the only thing between the exhaust valves and the tips is the stock cat media. I personally think it is...
