    Anyone have issues with 345/30/19's???

    Got 19s on my 97 GTS with Eibachs, lowered ~2 inches. I rub so slightly in full turn that I only noticed it when I was under my hood and saw a rub spot on the wheel well. I suspect it's from backing up, but not sure.

    How to get cas cap off a GTS?

    I bought a rechromed cap from R&J Distributing about a year ago. Came out great, and so far so good. They can rechrome the one you have if they don't already have one ready to go. Not $500 either if you give them your old one as a core. Just another option.

    Low Profile Speaker Grill?

    Fellas - I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything... I bought and installed a set of JL Audio ZR650ci's in my 97 GTS, and the grill sticks out too far on the passenger side and mashes up against the passenger dash panel when the door is shut. It simply sticks out too far. I'd like to...

    No substantial gain from just exhaust, but what about with headers and hi flow cats?

    Naturally Aspirated (Stroker) Vs. Forced Induction... which is better?

    What year is the boosted car, and how many lbs of boost? I assume the boosted motor wasn't built? The stroker would strike me as a better purchase if you're looking at reliability, not so much because of the wear and tear on the boosted motor, but rather less moving parts to break. One guy...

    What is this, and should I buy it?

    IMHO, I disagree with the advise on using a dyno to help tune the car. A "mustang" dyno is about as close to real world driving conditions as you can get, but even that is still not the same as real road driving conditions. How often are you going at WOT in 5th gear on the road when you're...

    Who likes Stripes?

    Well there you go then, sounds like if you get a Gen I you're going to need to get some stripes on it. If it's a Gen II+, you can do without. I think all Vipers look good with stripes, some look good without them. I agree with Leadfoot, it depends on the color. If I got a Viper without...

    Remember the first time you drove a Viper?

    1997 for me. It was a 92 in green at a local dealer in FL. I also had a ZR1 at the time (still do). Pulled up in my Z just to look at the Viper, and a salesman came out. I asked if we could take it for a spin, he replied asking if the Corvette was mine. I said yes and he said, "I'll go get...

    Engine Mount Issue

    Ok, need help from the gents with header/Paxton supercharger experience... Got several issues going on at once here, and resurrecting this thread because as I feared, my engine mount issue still exists and now have additional challenges due to some mods I'm getting ready to do... As discussed...

    Who likes Stripes?

    Who cares what other people like, you should pick what you like most and run with it. If you're undecided, you need to see some in person, both with and without if you haven't already, before deciding. I think there are a fair number of both striped and non-striped out there too. As for...

    12 Hours of Detailing and the GTS looks brand new!

    What do you mean by odd-ball product? Not sure I understand what you're saying, but this shouldn't be confused with the typical polishing compound you're referring to because the chemical properties/applicatios are different. This is an alternative to waxes. More or less, it's a polish that...

    12 Hours of Detailing and the GTS looks brand new!

    Looks good. A clay bar does wonders on a car's finish, gets rid of so many impurities and crap not removed by washing or buffing. Not sure how much it's been discussed before, but I am a huge advocate of using a polish (not a wax) on cars. Wax can melt in the sun and can have a negative...
