    Trying to Get a Few Vipers Together in Succasunna NJ Tuesday 6/29

    How did I miss this...:dunno: Two miles from my house and a perfect day to boot. :mad: Phil, did you have those wheels last year? They look great. :2tu:

    Vipers Got Jerked Around a Bit at Cruise Night

    What is the address or store that holds the Friday cruise? That is not far from me. I use to take me car to cruise nights 5-7 years ago but stopped because the "classic" guys had no love for it. Funny thing is it would draw more of a croud than 95% of the cars there. Now I find that most of...

    Pulled over on Rt 78 W in NJ

    I have only been out 1 time this year to shake the dust off. Too many BW's around, not a rare combo at all. Hackettstown is right around the corner from me.

    Why do we even track torque? (here I go again)

    That is the answer period! :2tu: We can not measure HP but we can calculate it by measuring torque and RPM. In terms of which car is faster the HP under the curve is what determines how fast it is. Peak numbers, which everyone loves to quote, mean nothing if you are loosing 200hp due to...

    Viper pics @ Bridgewater Mall

    Nice pictures! It is really impossible to capture the SSG in a picture. The first one you posted is about as close as I have seen. In person the color is unbelievably bright, it is truly stunning.

    My math says an average driver should run 10's in an '08 with good traction

    What did the 08 trap?

    150 Shot Safe on stock Motor?

    I think you have been watching too much Fast & The Furious and you want to be Vin Diesel! :lmao: I am pretty sure he flips up the passenger seat to reveal two small bottles. :drive: Just wait a month, buy an 08 hood and the new Gen 3 Roe blower. :headbang:

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    Will this be a modification to the stock blower intake and upper plate or will you be making two completely new pieces? I am already excited even though my HP and torque are with 10rw of each other for some odd reason. My car has never produced big torque numbers.

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    Sean great information and thanks for taking the time to post. I have to ask even if it is coming out a year from now. How much more RWHP with the new GenII intake, ballpark?:drive: Also, any plans on putting a larger blower in the GENII?

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    Wow, talk about missing the point and splitting hairs. :D We see your definition of stress but maybe the original poster meant another definition of stress. “emphasis in melody, rhythm.” Perhaps he was talking about the Roe having more rhythm. Or maybe he was defining it as “importance or...

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    I believe Dimitrios had the stock fuel pump and lines in his car. If he can confirm this I think it was more of a fuel problem versus a blower problem.

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    There are a lot of good things to debate with the twin screw versus centrifugal but I do not think reliability is a problem that the Roe blower has. You have to remember that Roe is a smaller operation than Paxton so his warranty might reflect that. Are you saying that you believe the Paxton...

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    Ron, The first post in this thread, CONs list: 3. More stress on engine That is what I was talking too. You typed a lot about driveline stress but I did not see where anyone mentioned that. When people talk about stess on an engine I think of valve train etc. I still believe that not having...

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    Why would you need a clutch or transmission upgrade with a Roe? We are not talking about 1000 ft/lbs here. Also the statement that the Roe puts more stress on the engine is debatable. The most stress on an engine comes from high RPM’s with max boost. With a Roe you do not have to go to...

    When best intentions BLOW UP an engine...

    Though it is has been said a few times, I will say it again that the plug length is not a fault for what happned here. I think it is more that they were the stock heat range running 10psi w/o WM. You said above that your would run 12.1 +- 1. That could mean you would run 13.1 at 10psi at...

    A little gem from a longer article that needs it's own thread....Rare Gen 2 values...

    Re: A little gem from a longer article that needs it's own thread....Rare Gen 2 value I would love to see someone put up a "low mileage" ACR for more than original MSRP. :rolleyes: I am pretty sure you can pick up 99's and 00's for low 40's. Assuming inflation is 3% a year that 85k GT2...

    When best intentions BLOW UP an engine...

    Please post the make and model number of the plugs he used. I noticed when I did my ROE that the Bosche plugs that come with the kit are much shorter than the OEM plugs. I have often thought about replacing them with longer plugs as the burn can not be as efficient with the spark up inside the...

    Amazing Paint Job

    The pictures do not do it justice as it is very impressive in person. I would not want to own it or drive it but for car shows it is interesting to look at.

    ACR owners: are they problematic?

    Not sure what all the hype is on the old ACRs. Leaky shocks and ugly wheels. Maintenance wise the shocks are the only issue as they are the only real "upgrade" from any other Gen2.

    My New Whip! B&W 96 GTS

    Nice looking car. :2tu: It looks like you did the right thing and removed the exhaust tips it came with.

    Attitude adjustment = B/W vs 930

    FG is good people. The real question is which one was faster? Did he get the turbo upgrade in the 930?

    RT/10 VS GTS VS ACR values

    I can't see a used ACR commanding $6,000 more than a GTS. I have seen 99 ACR's going for low 40's which is pretty much where a GTS would be. The ACR wheels are not for everyone and fog lights actually make the car look better. Maybe 10 years from now the value will be more as they are more...

    Anyone running Dual Widebands WITH DISPLAY?

    I've had two LC-1's for about a year and a half now. I only display the drivers side on Innovate gauge which is mounted between the tach and speedo. I really never thought about switching between them as they are both hooked up to the VEC. It is impossible to tune looking at the gauge, that...
