With the wing, it reminds me of the last shopping cart I had at Wal-Mart. Only slower :D

Where does the "500HP" or "over 500HP" (depending on what part of the ad you read) come from? I see the word "Venom" on the rear bumper. Add that with the wing, I'll assume its got some Hennessey goodies on it. I'll further assume its missing a whole lot of stuff and the hood is off someone else's car :D

So is that 500HP at crank or to the wheels? :smirk:

I hate that stupid wing, why do people insist on having it.. completely ruins the GTS.

From the looks of those seats I think the car has a lot more miles than 12k...Mine's in the 30's and doesn't have that much wear on seats...

I was about to say, I have 60k miles and my seats look better. Maybe I spend less time sitting, it's nice having a fast red car.

Do those K & N setups work better than the stock intake? It looks like you would be getting more hot air from the engine??? I have K & N filters with smooth tubes already.

I have that set-up and the hood seals the top portion of it.

Is this the K&N Dual FIPK?? If so, I have this setup as well, looks identical to mine.. I paid around $500 for it. I was also wondering, if there was a better intake setup than this? The whole thing came as a package.. upgraded airbox, tubes, air filter.. however, I was later told the stock airbox with upgraded tubes and air filter would provide more HP gains than buying this whole package.. is this true?

I also heard you gain about 12-13rwhp from this..

Is it just me or do the stripes just not look right?? They also continue through the license plate area which I didn't think the factory did except for the 1996's.

You are correct. 1996 was the only year, so whoever owned that car customized the stripes to run through the plate area.

King Snke are you sure your not from "Province Town." Never have I ever seen any Yellow vipers in Newport. I wouldn't be caught dead with one. T o o o o S l o w w w w.

Most of my friends (from newport) drive red cars any red car is faster than a yellow viper (most any)

Maybe we can meet up at the Black Pearl this summer and I'll buy you a beer & toast to Red Vipers.....Supreme Color!!!

Born & raised Newport RI
If you need your Tax's done try "Beekmans Booking"

I lived in Providence, RI for 5 years and also lived in Newport, RI as well. Right near Bellevue Ave with all the mansions. :)

This was done on my car by the previous owner which I like.

I think this was a solid yellow car when it left the factory and the full stripes are aftermarket

For King Snke I was referring to Province town MA.
I grad from Umass a few moons ago. worked around the east for a while and settled with a company who made Kitchen cabinets in OH.
My family is still from Newport area.
I now have a Mowing and Landscape business (seasonal) hence my
plates MOW U DWN. I love that blue viper with white stripes.

I stay about 2 minutes from bellevue, right off gordon street. I have only been here since last Friday and have not moved my viper up here yet. As soon as I can find good storage or a garage I will bring it up here. I'm only here for 3 years so I didn't rent a house.

Great town, Newport, been the a number of times! Love the mansions -especially Marble House - but can't do the tour more than once! I'm only a tourist, no idea whaat it's like to actually live there. I do recall seeing a sign that said yellow Vipers ate only allowed on the street at night in order to protect residents' eyes! They're so slow, that the car stays within residents' line of sight for way too much time and could cause blindness!

When are you "Red and "Yellow" guys going to realize that Blue and White is the fastest and best :D

I believe red and yellow are in contest of who is slowest here, so carry on speedy!!

The blue and whites are the middle of the spectrum and not worth talking about. They beat out the prius, so faster then red, but struggle with civics.

The denial of the truth is so evident. Someday the "Red" and "Yellows" will realize that they believed in a fairytale that they lived in for so long.

As for now, as a soldier for the B/W camp, I will keep soldiering on, spreading and defending truth of the B/W's. To all the other B/W's spread and defend the truth of our own camp.
