[*****] or SVS

[97 GTS BL/WH]

I am in the market for a Viper, if I were to purchase one already modified - say in the streetable 6oo hp range, which company would you suggest?

I think the two most notable are [*****] or SVS.

 

[97 GTS BL/WH]

Being new to this forum I do not understand why the first word in my ? above got blocked out.

 

[QUICKV10]

Is it h enn essy or svs? If so you can't type his name here, he was naughty a will back, So your answer is SVS

 

[Supercharged Vipermad]

Try other bad words like

[*****]
[*****]
[*****]


See, it is just a filter for everything NOT VCA in the world.

 

[2MANYTOYS]

I would buy from Underground Racing or Heffner if I was buying a used modified viper.

The "Search" feature is your best friend.

 

[GTSnake]

Just google the [*****] word and you'll be fully enlightened. The word "crook" comes to mind.

There is one Colorado chapter member who bought a used Henny GTS. When he called Henny he was treated rather rudely. All the guy wanted to know were a few things about the car he had just purchased. He posts on the SRT Ram board as well (VTCOA.com) and isnt well liked there either after one of his twin turbo Rams smoked like a school bus when coming to a stop. It took pressure from the forum for him to even think about fixing the problem. It took a few months but the truck was finally fixed.

Crook is putting it nicely.

It's pretty amazing how the general public perceives him and even Car and Driver still invites him to their shoot outs. People in Viper circles pretty much know about the reputation but it has not really got out to the general public.

 

[SSSSE YA]

SVS all the way. Just got off the phone with Ron JR.

Class act all the way

The only reason the magazine guys use his cars is because he's the only tuner who will hand over a customers car for them to beat the ever living chit out of for a couple weeks.

If you find a good modified car, depending on its location, see if a local viper tech or even better a tuner can take a look at it. They should be able to give you a good idea of the quality of the build.

[viper spray]

Hen makes some really fast Vipers and has put all that drama to rest a long time ago. No worries these days.
spray...........

Heffner is the MAN. Pick up a Car & Driver and you'll see some of his slower cars!

 

[SylvanSRT]

i dont know how true it is but i was told that the H-guy pays to have his cars spotlighted in the car mags.

Drama? I don't care if Shelby himself endorses the tuner, once you screw
over a customer the way he did you no longer have an option to get my money.
Some things are forgivable - accidently forgetting a bolt, breaking loose
a car on a test drive, that sort of thing. But he willingly chose his path.

It was really a shame, he built some bullet-proof setups in the day.

I'd recommend Heff from personal experience. Underground has a rep for being
pricey and long to build, but I haven't heard any real complaints.

So , you are saying that he screwed you and owes you money? Sorry ,I don't buy it.

 

[Marc Lublin]

Spray,
I'm saying he screwed me and owes me the year +, that it took me to get my money back. Since I had gone public way back when, I have gotten so many first hand accounts from people he screwed over. Anyone thinking of purchasing anything he put his name to, should walk the other way. The car probably doesn't have the mods it is supposed to. Leager, if you do go that route, see if the seller will meet you at a dyno to see if the car puts out what it's supposed to. Also, do a search, I'm sure you will find plenty of info and see why he's banned from this site. Good luck!

 

[GTS Dean]

RSI in Houston is also a very good Viper tuner. Look them up.

Underground doesn't cost anymore than Heff. Usually they are pretty close in price. I know from experience. Both are great tuners and will take good care of you.
Bonkers what have you had done by Underground???? Have you personally even had anything priced by them????

 

[Bonkers]

I'm not knocking Underground, just repeating what fellow
owners have told me. Everyone I have spoken to have been
satisfied with their work.

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

I bought my replacement motor for my SRT Ram from Kevins (Underground Racing) '03 Viper after mine blew up on the dyno...grrrrrr. Price was more then fair and he was easy to get a hold of on the phone and through e-mail. From that experience plus their success in the Viper community I wouldnt hesitate to have them build a car (or SRT Ram truck) for me.

 

[Tom and Vipers]

I would say a nice test is to verify that the car will fry the tires when you throttle into 2nd and maybe even 3rd - 3rd should be breaking loose if the road has any undulations.

At Sea Level of course. At 5000-6000 ft, don't even think about 2nd.

Just use a slighly dusty road or 8 years old tires and a stock Gen 1 will do that. A dyno may be more accurate.
