Sorry about that , I usually have that in the first post.
Its a 2001 GTS with 23k miles on it.
Car only got 1k miles put on it from 2007 - 2012 though ... then I bought it and put 2k miles on it in a week on the drive home, lol ---
I noticed the steering wheel felt really tight ... but I thought it was the "racecar feel". Is it supposed to be pretty tight when turning it?
So sounds like I need to get a tensioner tool ... and an upgraded billet power steering pulley from Roe?
Might as well get a replacement belt also...
I drove the Viper for about 60 miles today. Got 1/4 mile away from home ... made a left turn off the highway and heard a slight quick SCREECH sound.
I felt a small tug in the steering wheel like my tire contacted the inner fender well.
Went to make a right hand turn into my home, and I have...
18's look like they will be tight with those calipers.
What style are you going to go with?
These wheels look nice spinning in your vids :) ... glws ---
Congrats on the car!!!
I havent had an issue with my cars stock brakes yet ... havent even engaged the ABS on the 2001 that I have (how good is the ABS on the 2001/2002s?).
I always hold on when I need to brake hard though ... seen plenty of vids where a Viper would lockup and nose down...

I have two radio amps... and on an old car that I had , when at idle with the headlights on you could really tell a difference in the gauge and output.
Thanks :) ---

Seems about right ... Ive seen people post 15-20rwhp from the 1.7's , and my combo before the mods was...

Here is a vid of the dyno AFTER.
I gained 25rwhp / 28 rwtq with a hennessey carbon fiber intake box (had smooth tubes before), 1.7 Harland Sharp Roller Rockers, and A&C Mail Tune.
The AFR was 1 full point leaner though (13.25 ... after the...
My Dyno Shop up the street told me they just saw a car like this a month ago ... trying to get him in to meet me while I dyno my car. I will take pics if it happens.
CONGRATS!!! :) ---
