Are SRT\'s considered \"creampuffs?\"

I saw the 30 hp increase with the full exhaust and intake. This seems pretty typical of the late GEN II's, so does this make the SRT's creampuffs as well? Don't they have cast pistons also? :usa:

Re: Are SRT\'s considered

If the creampuff moniker came about because of the cast pistons, then I'd say yes!

I guess the creampuff title needs to go on the late GenII cars if SRT-10s cannot be called creampuffs. :)

But here's an idea - let's get some SRTs s/c'ed and see first hand!

Sorry, but you ask if it makes them creampuffs "AS WELL"...I have NEVER heard the Viper, gen 1, 2, or 3 referred to as a creampuff. :eek:

Easy fellow Canadian ASPman!!!

The creampuff tab has been jokingly named for post 2000 cars with the "creamy smooth" cam, and "creamy liscious" cast pistons, as they are a little more tricky to get your mod horsepower out of, and a touch lower out of the gates than earlier cars. been a joke for years......no big deal.

No apology needed. I assumed (which is always a bad move) that everyone was aware that the post 2000 cars have been labeled this. :usa:

Re: Are SRT\'s considered \"creampuffs?\"

The fact that the SRT-10 has an entirely different engine that is bigger and more powerful probably makes it not. But, even were that not the case, power wise, you can't label a Gen III Viper the same as a Gen II, else everybody is going to get very confused. LOL So come up with a new name, if there's such a strong need for more labels.

SRT Cream Puff? = Yes. It has the mellow cam, no NGR Neutral Gear Rattle, Cast Pistons.

Puffed Rice???
Hah-hah. Silly!

Talking about word meanings (creampuff) and abbreviations what does LOL mean?
LOL / lol = Lots Of Laughter and/or Laughing Out Loud. It's common Online lingo for those that chat online a lot. There are many common abbreviations used. There are as many of these abbreviations as there are emoticons. That kind of thing. Just another thing that has become an Internet language in and of itself.

Re: Are SRT\'s considered

Now how can 500 hp be considered a creampuff? Never experienced the neutral gear rattle and would hardly consider that a performance indicator. The lumpy cam does convey performance, but at 50 hp less it would be the creampuff in this comparison. The cast piston debate rages on. Yet what percent have needed to upgrade their pistons to expand the performance envelope. I would think it would be relatively few.

All in all I cannot think of any reason the SRT would be considered a creampuff in comparison to a Gen I or II. Higher horsepower, lower weight, better traction, substantially better brakes and higher cornering limits. Creampuff ... Not!

Re: Are SRT\'s considered

Don't take it to seriously, just play along with them.

The term "creampuff" is a name in which all newer and better vipers get called by the old gen 2 guys. Take it the same way I do when a mustang, camaro, vette, or old gen 2 guy tells me his car is better, just smile and shake your head up and down. It's one of the ways they try and feel good about their cars. If they're comparing their car to yours, who do you thinks is holding the standard?

I love my Smooth Creampuff. Some of the best things in life smooth and creamy. Take pro sports for example, ever hear of a great player being labeled "loose chunks"? But how about "smooth as butter"?

I wouldn't trade one smooth running, tight fitting, creampuff for two chunky running, gear grinding, loosened bolt, TSB ridden old gen2 cars, even if they gave me all the stock bolts that rattled off.

No need to get to excited, I'm just having fun with the chunky rattlers.

Re: Are SRT\'s considered

I agree Cody. Creampuff or not, it's still a Viper and it will be sleeping in my garage.

Michael - "puffed rice" That is funny. Who knows it may stick.
