    Time to sell my Viper!!

    Didn't you recently buy that car? If I'm correct, you took a lot of time and research before making the decision to buy the Viper over a ZO6.... now it's going away? Bummer. Congratulations on the upcoming marriage!

    I have family in town visiting, but they are leaving on Sunday. I will do everything I can to be there! Congratulations, Ben! I am even more envious now (if that's at all possible)

    Lowering the Viper

    I put Eibach springs on my 94, and I think it looks great. It also rides great. If you were having trouble w/ scraping, you will have more trouble. If you were not scraping, you will find some new spots you will want to avoid in your everyday driving. Let me know if there's anything else you'd...

    Looking for Viper(snake) related license plate themes. Help out here>

    My old plate was SOSLOO My new one is XS TORQ Funny thing is, Ben (Treynor) wanted XS TORQ (which I already had), and "settled" for SOOSLOW I thought that was interesting. I may have to swap plates w/ him, especially after getting mine dyno'd, and knowing where his car currently is. Interested...

    leaving the track at 100 MPH.....

    I will be visiting Ken next weekend, and will be at the track to be his official dirt and gravel shoveler. I look forward to meeting some of the guys on the board, and hope to see (and play passenger) on some good runs. I am also interested to see how the mods Ken installed will help with lap...

    Survey - how many of you look at the "other" forums besides the Viper Discussion?

    Re: Survey - how many of you look at the \"other\" forums besides the Viper Discussion? I use "View Enhanced Active Topics" on the Discusson Forum main page, so I see all active topics, in order of their last post. This works good for me - if I travel, or if I'm out of the office for some time...

    Results of my Saturday Dyno-Day

    How about if you ease the car up to max RPM's allowing the dyno additional time to read? Any suggestions to get a true(r) reading? Thanks!

    Advice on SF Bay area window tinting?

    Nothing worse than bubbling tint that turns purple...... Check out Preferred Image - 650-366-8468. They have done a great job on a few of my cars, and the one time I had a *small* issue, the fixed it at no charge - and this was 18 months or so after the did the original job. They are off 101 in...

    Results of my Saturday Dyno-Day

    I am curious to find out what difference will be seen (if any) on a dyno due to rear gear change. I have heard that the dyno number will show artificially low due to numerically higher (3.54) gear. Any input would be appreciated.

    Whoa!! Just tried a new wax...

    I tried Formula 113, and was concerned about a few things - 1) Chemical smell of the product - there are solvents in it, and that is not a good thing 2) Abrasives - I am unsure if it was the chemicals or the abrasives, but on my non-clear coated Suburban, (relatively new paint job - less than 2...

    Ready to buy tires and rims!

    I lowered the car w/ Eibach springs (you can buy from PartsRack for about $300, I believe). You really need to watch curbs, driveway entry/exit, etc., due to the lower front. Sure looks cool, though (biased opinion). You would also need to have the car properly aligned after lowering (to 95...

    Ready to buy tires and rims!

    I have 98 wheels on my black 94. It has been lowered an inch, and I think the combination looks good (although I *might* be biased) I can email you additional pictures if you are interested.

    viper national anthem........

    Personal driving favorites - Rage Against The Machine, Metallica, Methods of Mayhem (gotta check this one out), Prodigy, Joe Satriani - all awesome driving, running, or working out music. Driving in my "other cars" - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit, Zepplin, Days of the New, Molly Hatchet...

    ride height..should I cut springs or buy springs?

    I went w/ the Eibach springs, and stayed w/ the stock shocks. The ride and handling are great, but an inch is a LOT lower when it comes to speedbumps, etc. Installation of the springs is not difficult or expensive, but alignment (properly done, and necessary after changing ride height) is not...

    Oh not more smoke!

    This should be made into a t-shirt and/or poster! Maybe you could recoup the funds for another set of tires (which I'm sure you need after a smokey burnout like that!)

    Decisions, decisions...a wheel question

    Have you considered having your wheels re-cleared? That is likely the least expensive alternative. You could even have the wheels polished more prior to the clear, or just have them polished and NOT clear them (although you would have to do a little more work to keep the wheels looking sharp...

    Light Front End--Need Feeback Plz

    Jon, I was w/ "Rollo" for part of the time yesterday, and you are correct about his tires. They are in fact XGTZ. Getting rid of mine on my 94 made a huge difference in dartiness. I also did the Eibach 1" drop, and had Ted May at Vayala Racing align my car to 95+ specs. Personally, I think my...
