    Just watched a Speed Channel special....

    Nice link Throttle. Very informative site. Looking at the GT2 vs the ACR, there isn't any difference. So where are these original 700hp GT2s? Has copied the formula to get 700 naturally aspirated hp?

    Just watched a Speed Channel special....

    The show was Muscle cars (I forget the exact name), they did a special on vipers. It must have been produced in 2002 because they had limited info about the new 2003 model, so some of you may have seen it already. It was a history of the car from concept on through the production years. I...

    Wanna chuckle, read this

    Maybe 16.5k. I even gave them some print outs showing similar cars going for 35-40k. Told them I realize you need to make money on the car, so I wan $30k and I will give you sticker for the Hemi. I think they just don't want to try and sell it retail, but just unload it at an auction. He said...

    I just got back from a dealership, Aurora Dodge to be exact, laughing the whole drive. I was talking with them about trading my 19k mile 93 for a Hemi Ram. They offered me $15k for a trade in value! I laughed and told the guy it wasn't a replica. Wasn't there long enough for his reply. Maybe...

    NASA 3 Hour Enduro ****** Run September 28, 2003

    I'll be there running HPDE 2. I should be able to lend a hand. I'll be in the red RT with silver stripes. Most likely the only viper in HPDE.

    Norwalk Ohio Sept 12-14; LODGING

    What about those driving to and from, is there a safe place to park for the day? Don't want to park a foot away from a rusty pickup and leave there all day. If not I'll just drive my rusty ******.

    18" fronts/17" rears????

    Re: 18 Are you kidding, I just started and don't have a competition license yet. I run HPDE 2. When I do get my license I plan on running VVC, and the good thing is I am the only Vette or Viper in our region. There was a guy named Frank who ran at Mid-Ohio in a '95 "full race" Viper, but I...

    18" fronts/17" rears????

    Re: 18 I bought my car last fall, started running with NASA through a friend this spring. So far, Mid-Ohio, Beaverun, Gingerman. I will be going back to Beaverun in Sept and that will be the last event of the year for me. I warped my front rotor at Gingerman a couple of weeks ago (see my thread...

    Help with callipers PLEASE

    Okay, the rears are done and look pretty cool. Thanks for all the help everyone. The fronts start with a problem right out of the gate. What the hell size socket fits the caliper bolts?!?!? Are you going to laugh if I say 23/32 is my guess. 11/16 is a tad too small, 3/4 too big! Why not 3/4 or...

    18" fronts/17" rears????

    Re: 18 Socal Rebell????? Do you post on the NASA forums? I believe the Socal Rebell on NASA drives a Viper. Viperize on the NASA forum is selling these wheels. They are Purner wheels. I checked out the clearance on my car, and since I put the Eibachs on I don't think I can fit 18s. Viperize is...

    18" fronts/17" rears????

    18\" fronts/17\" rears???? Larger front wheels makes for a quiker steer, not much front tire roll. But the back tires you want more tire hight for more grip comming out of a turn. On the Vipers you have so much tork that is is easy to brake the rear tires loose. The above is from someone...

    Help with callipers PLEASE

    No way! I'm not doubting you it just seems amazingly impossible. I am changing pads and rotors on all four corners so I need to getinto the caliper anyway, but I am going to try that just to see if it works. If so that is good info If I ever warp another rotor. Warped the right front badly at...

    Help with callipers PLEASE

    Okay, thanks for the info. I'll do that if I ever get that damn pin out! Sorry, I just have to vent for my sore knuckles this morning.

    Help with callipers PLEASE

    Yeah, I already gave up for the night and have the penetrating oil already sprayed. Recess the piston with needlenose pliers? Are you talking about compressing the piston in order to fit the thicker new pad in? If so, try 'C' clamp vise grips. No slipping. A small threaded 'C' clamp may work also.
