    Installed pirelli P-Zero rosso Asmmetrico

    Tires arrived yesterday, had them installed this morning. Biggest difference is that I can now go almost full throtle after the 1/2 change and not brake traction- I still have to roll into it but I can roll in to full throtle. The runflats (with 6,000 miles) could not handle the power in our...

    Pirelli P zero rosso 355/25 YR 19- what do you think

    Parts Nazi -screwed by the dealer

    I am pissed off. I ordered a new oilpan gasket for my Viper by telephone (I gave him my credit card info as it was a special order) from my local dealer as after droping the oilpan last night I did not think that the rubber inner seal was in great shape. He told me that he would get the order...

    My Dyno Sheet from last night- Read my reply to Corvette Forum

    What a load of BS on the Corvette forum- first I have attached the Dyno pull showing my third pull compared to a pull I did in February with one bad plug. Trackmasters will be posting the dyno graphs for both cars in the next week or so on their web site. My Feb. run is posted on that site. I...

    60 mph in first gear??

    If you look at the old articles testing the 2003/2004 SRT-10 they state the viper could hit 60 in first gear. In fact the first comparison I read between the Ford GT and the Viper was clear that both cars could hit 60 in first. Now I read " the viper looses 2/10ths to 60 because of the...

    How to reset Check Engine Light??

    I made a big mistake and washed my Viper without covering up the VEC-2- it was missing bad when I fired her up. Ran it for about 30 minutes, got it nice and warn and it must have dried out- ran fine. Problem is the check engine light came on - went on and off a couple of times but stayed on...

    VEC-2- Feels like 50 ft lbs increase

    I will not know for sure until I dyno- but the VEC-2 definately has improved my acceleration times. I tried the stock programing to make sure everything was working- it was then tried the two modified programs that ROE sent me - the second program was the real deal. Acceleration was...

    Pressure Plate fails at 2500 miles

    My Viper has been tough to shift since new- I just thought it was part of the package. Two weeks ago reverse gear became almost impossible to shift into- I had to kill the engine and then shift. I took the snake into my local dealer and they put a new clutch/pressure plate in under warranty-...
