    Drove a Viper to 12.6@115

    MES, MPH at the end of the strip is a direct function of the power the engine is making. E/T is a function of how well the car's suspension and tires are handling that power. Look at it this way. If my tires are spining, I am wasting time, but I am not wasting distance. So my MPH will not be...

    Balinger,Borla or Corsa

    Belangers sound great, but you pay for it. I really like the deeper rumble I get from my Borlas. And you can get a complete cat back system from Sean Roe for $1200! Other vendors are probably similar in price. My system fit really easy, no cutting!

    Dyno Results SoCal Vipers, long post

    I still think you can get decent HP from the 3" Borla cat back, tubes and filters. 430 HP and 475 TQ are solid numbers for only $1500! That car pulled very close to the '98 with the full Belanger exhaust for way less than half the money!

    2000 Vipers are no creampuffs

    Creampuff is a term that those of us with the lumpier, mightier, cam (found in the '96 to '99 Vipers) bestowed on the 2000 and 2001 Vipers. Ther have been quite a few cases where 2000 and 2001 cars were shown down on power a bit on the dyno. These are most likely just cases of engines that have...

    Where to go for an Alignment in IL?

    Where should I go for an alignment in IL? I would prefer North or NW suburbs. I just got my brakes upgraded a bit and switched to newer wheels and tires. I noticed very uneven wear on the rears. The insides were much more worn than the outsides. Besides its a '96 and I suspect it has not been...

    dynoed vemon 600?

    Tom, You have to divide by .85 (although I beleive dividing by .88 is more accurate) Think of it this way: You have X HP at the flywheel. Using your drive line loss number of 15%, at the wheels you have X - (X * 0.15). 588 - (588 * 0.15) = 500 HP or 500 / 0.85 = 588 HP The difference is...

    2001-2002 Owners Note: The End Is Nigh !!!

    Rick, Send Tony a picture of your beautiful GTS so you can get an avatar! That car is took good looking not to share it with the rest of us. And back off on JonB a bit. Sure he does a lot of advertising here, but that is his job. He dispensed free advise here for many, many years when it was...

    Gen3 Viper styling - here's your chance to tell Dodge what you think!

    Re: Gen3 Viper styling - here\'s your chance to tell Dodge what you think! Luc, You hit it exactly! Just like the movies, the sequels rarely stands up to the original. This pattern follows in music a lot too. Many band's best album was their first album. I have always figured this was due to...

    US Grand Prix

    Is anyone else going the US Grand Prix at Indy? We will be there, about 25 rows up at turn 1. Same seats as last year! Unfortunately we do not have the same Hotel however, and I am wondering if I should bring the Viper down for the race or not. We are staying at the Knights Inn, 4909 Knights...

    New Snake (picture)

    Tough Question! The '96 has racing stripes and the lumpier cam. At first glance it would appear to be the better track car. But the 2000 has a number of upgrades that would make it the more sensible choice for the track: - Upgraded cooling fan - Better oil pan - Bigger (and stronger) wheels =...
