Presentation French Viper owner Gen2 FE #116

[cococh75]

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself and happy to be a Viper Gen2 FE owner for 3 years. Amazing US car used mainly for trackdays in France. Le Mans Bugatti, Magny-Cours (former F1 GP).
I am a car addict and use mainly cars I have for trackdays.
I join this group to learn more about Viper and share common passion.
Engine is stock.
I have BBS E01 on it with AR1 tyres
Side exhausts, Gen3 brakes in front, I have order news discs Girodisc and new coilovers which should be install in the coming weeks. I would like to upgrade as well rear brakes and change the steering wheels soon.

Indeed BBS Motorsport E01 18' with OEM tyre size. They were previously used on Viper Competition Coupe.
Should be complicated to be in city center with Viper now as she is too noisy and if controlled by Police cannot pass C02 emission tests

I did, but it's impossible now to come so close with a car.

Nice, if you want a spare rear rim or two, I have a few for sale. Maybe to put on some drag radials?

Dodge Viper GTS SRT-10 BBS rear wheel, lightweight racing, great condition | eBay

It will fit all cars from 1992-2010, but will be wider that the fenders on the rear only, unless you have wheel well flared for them. No center cap. Rim is 18X13". If you are in need of any Viper parts, feel free to ask.

Indeed that is why I want upgrade the rear too. Probably using Gen2 front caliper for rear brakes or alternative existing solution. Need to find…

Be aware that you will be cutting the bunny ears on the rear for the calipers you are looking at.

 

[cococh75]

Do you know alternative solutions I can install ? and web link to share, tks

Only thing not to cut them is 40mm caliper known has Tom's big brake.

It is the current stock rear caliper that is bored to 40mm and reassembled. Guy in Canada is doing them now.
