    Powersteering Bracket broke :(

    Sorry, 678. Dyslexia kicked in. The car started out as a Hennessey 550 (490rwhp NA) and as such had ported heads, 70mm TBs, 1.7 rockers, headers, 3" exhaust and high flow cats. It took well to boost. Video (sorry about the sound quality) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXo7pY1RcQM

    My suggestion is to throw them away. They are tacky.

    482whp is way low. My '99 made 687whp with at 8lbs with no w/m. Replace your p/s pulley and bracket and get 'er tuned!

    Like just about every other matte car, it looks like primer.

    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    Hey Jack, how does that compare to Gen II sill temps? I have no other frame of reference.

    Forgeline GA3 Wheels on my Gen V

    Very interesting. To my eye the lip on the Forgelines feels too 'old school' for the ultramodern vibe of the car. I am a huge fan of wheels with a lip but somehow they don't work on the 2013. Disclaimer: The above is a statement of one 'enthusiasts' OPINION and should not be construed as...

    Washing a viper?

    Swiffer has no chemicals. I actually called them to double check. They thought I was insane. They do an excellent job on fine dust and dirt with a very light touch. For the grit on the rear of my GTS I hit it with compressed air first.

    Washing a viper?

    Yeah, I do a 'real' wash if I get caught in the rain as well. I use a 360 Swiffer on the paint until I can first see dirt on it, then it gets used on the wheels. Takes brake dust right off. First on the polished lip, then on the barrel. The barrels on my rims are a fairly rough finish aluminum...

    Washing a viper?

    I haven't touched my car with water in 4 years. Swiffer 360 to remove dust, detail spray and wax. Black Viper and get compliments on my paint all the time. That said I never drive it in anything but dry conditions.

    I'm surprised the Gen II wheels clear the calipers.

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    That the Gen II is simpler than the Gen V is fact. I guess that makes you arrogant AND ignorant. You find my the quote where I said any generation is better than any other based on data. You do and I will PayPal $1000 to Wounded Warriors or a charity of your choice. I simply said that I...

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    At this point you should kiss my a$$. The Gen II is simpler, more modification friendly, easier to work on, and in my opinion, better looking. My personal Gen II would suck the paint off of a Gen V in a roll race. I am not saying it is better, they are just completely different cars.. The fact...

    What you people don't seem to get is that 'better' is an OPINION. You cannot tell me which car I find better.
