I'll chime in here and confirm what everyone knows; that they are both great cars. My '06 FE Coupe has a Paxton and makes close to 640hp at the rear wheels. I dare say that in a dash from 40-140 mph my Viper would take my stock GT. However, put a pulley and tune in the GT and it would out...
I'm sure he signed a release to get on the track. The US tort system is seriously broken. I feel bad about the instructor getting hurt, but it was an ACCIDENT. If he sues anybody he has lost ALL of my sympathy.

I placed second at the event. I was running on stock run flat rubber. First time autocrossing the car. South Florida Region member. You have to remember me...you sold me my car!

What I want to know is does gold neckware and a hair piece come standard with your 'vette or are they an option? What about the insecure plastic babe that is ubiquitous around 'vette guys? Optional or standard? Inquiring minds want to know!
I have the same Paxton setup on my '06 FE Coupe, standard pulley, stock exhaust, Mustang Dyno:
623 RWHP
564 RWT
I know Dynojet's read higher than Mustangs, ...but you're pulling 81 more hp than mine???? W.T..F?
How did he measure HP at the crank? Didn't he dyno the car and give you measured RWHP?
Agree with everything you said about Woodhouse and Mark. He put a Paxton on my Coupe last October.
Isn't the Ford GT made by hand as well? Not to take anything from the Viper, just that I believe we have two American super cars that are in a similar production category. :usa:
Great numbers! Can you educate me though? What is meant by corrected numbers? Is there a set formula per 1000 ft of altitude? I thought supercharging or turbocharging compensated for altitude. Thanks for helping me understand.

Re: Took a spirited ride in the \'06 Coupe today
My '06 coupe with stock exhaust pops and burbles on deceleration. It sounds fantastic. I find myself letting on and off the gas just to hear it!
Well, you already know what I think since I'm that "local member"! I am thrilled you decided to go forward with the mods. Good luck with it! Look forward to seeing it when you're finished.
I have these on my '06 Coupe. They do make tips for the SRT-10. They make rings too, but I only installed the tips. IMHO they look great.
