    Twin turbo Ferrari 512TR

    Saw a TT Testarossa for sale on Ebay a while back. I think this might have been it. 1100 hp and does the quarter in 12.3 seconds! Sounds like they must have used the same turbos as in a Supra :cool:

    Porsche 911 Turbo, upgraded.

    Re: Porsche 911 Turbo, upgraded. The low ET might be because he is afraid of breaking something. I used ot hang out a lot at a 911TT site and most were afraid of/didn't recommend running their cars hard from a dead stop due to the 4 wheel drive and concerns about drivetrain strength.

    Photos of the new 19" Purners on an RT/10

    Re: Photos of the new 19 Never mind. I may have answered my own question: 345/30/19 = 4.1 inch side wall = 27.1" in dia 335/30/18 = 3.95 inch side wall = 25.9 in dia 335/35/17 = 4.6 inch side wall = 26.2" in dia Do the 19" wheels/tires really have a taller side wall than the 18" wheels? It...

    Photos of the new 19" Purners on an RT/10

    Re: Photos of the new 19 The wheels are 2 inches bigger but are the tires really 2" bigger in diameter? The wheel well gap looks the same as stock. Nice looking wheels.

    What warranty covered problems/issues.......

    I would do a careful undercar inspection on a lift if possible. Look for leaks around the oil pan, oil cooler and timing chain cover. Also be sure you have no transmission shifting issues.

    How do 18" BFG drag radials hook on the street?

    Re: How do 18 I don't think there is one. The Nitto 555R comes in the same sizes. I had heard that the 13" rears were too wide to mount 315's on but am glad to hear that they are working for you. I may try that set up also.

    Hillbilly cooling mods

    Must have been a late 97 upgrade as my 97 (built 11/97) has the metal insulation.

    How do 18" BFG drag radials hook on the street?

    Re: How do 18\" BFG drag radials hook on the street? Sun Diego, I guess my question is what size are you running and on what size wheels. The largest size I see the 17" coming in is 315 which is too small for a 13" rim and too big for a 10" rim. The next size is 275 which would fit fine on the...

    Drinking Coolant Contest - Whose in?

    Actually I am now an ophthalmic surgeon and virtually all I learned was in my 5 years of post medical school training. I think about 2 hours of my 4 years of Med School were dedicated to the eye!

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    BMW yes. MB no. Rememeber that Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth all out scored Mercedes on the latest JD Powers Vehicle Dependability Study! :D

    Drinking Coolant Contest - Whose in?

    One of the few things I remember well from med school is that the treatment of ethylene glycol poisoning is alcohol!

    g tech time with the viper What do you think?

    I have run my G-tech at the strip a few times. ET was within .1 to.2 and the MPH was much higher (123) than the track MPH (118) due to the averaging method the track uses. I also ran the dyno function and it measured within 10 of my last RW dyno though I had added a Vec 1 since then.

    Big problem, need some help

    Just quoting the data. If you have data otherwise please post it. Realize this is for 2000 year models, not those 5-10 years old. I think no one would doubt that Honda's reliability was better then and that Buick, Cadillac and Lincoln were all worse. We still have a ways to go to out do the...

    Big problem, need some help

    If it says Space "Suttle" on the side I would avoid it too!:) Actually you couldn't be more wrong in saying that Asian cars "kill" American cars in quality. If you look at the long term reliability, Asian manufacturers nearly dominate the cars worst in reliability. Example: Kia, Daewoo...

    MOVING SOON...Any Viper owners in the area ???

    I'm in Sac near Watt at Hwy 50. Not far. There are a few owners in the Sacramento area. Great area for owning a Viper with Sacramento Raceway and being relatively close to Thunderhill. The nearest VCA region is still Nor Cal but I have never made it to a meeting (except the one we had in...

    Big problem, need some help

    Just be glad that it wasn't a Mercedes worker! Mercedes vehicles have lower dependability than any US car company with the exception of Jeep (which doesn't even make cars). It always amazes me that people use Mercedes as an example of quality built cars. They did beat out Kia, Daewoo and...

    New Purner 19 inch wheels that look like HRE 547's - photos

    Re: New Purner 19 inch wheels that look like HRE 547\'s - photos Definately look better without all the bolts. Must be lighter and easier to clean too.

    HOODPAD

    Try this. These are the instructions I followed. Painting is not hard at all, it does take a bit of time but works great. I did not clear coat mine and it looks as good as it did 8 months ago.The decal idea looks good but I think you have a lot more color/pattern options with painting and you...

    Viper GTS VS Porsche 911 GT-3

    Just curious so when I see one I can tell, how do you tell the difference from a GT-3 and an Boxster from the front?

    Door hinge problem chips paint - warranty?

    My understanding of the MaxiCare warranty is that fit/finish items like door alignment are not covered. It sounds like your hinge did not fail, just came out of alignment. If so, I don't think you will find it covered. My door alignement adjustment was not covered despite the extended warranty...

    20"-22" inch wheel options w/lowering?

    Re: 20 "What you're saying is that if two Vipers, one with stock wheels, one with 20s were travelling at 5k RPMs in the same gear, then the Viper with 20s would be faster getting there. True" Remeber that 20" is the wheel size not the overall tire diameter. Depending on the tire size, 20"...

    Exhaust noise & smell & bad vibration

    Re: Exhaust noise & smell & bad vibration Check the cats. I did the Corsa/Random Tech cat upgrade and one of the cats had an incomplete weld under the heat shield. Was leaking. i got it rewelded twice and I think it is still leaking a bit. It gives off that sulfur like smell. Also has a...

    Stanley Steamer gets more attention!

    They must have been torque fans and known that the Steamer puts out much more torque at low rpm than a Viper. So much torque that no clutch is needed! Full torque at 1 rpm must be nice! Cool car
