    What's the best performance upgrade for a 06 coupe?

    To be quite honest.. keep the PCM stock (stock timing is fairly conservative, works safely if the AFR is there.) Run 2 steps colder on the plugs, nitrous wet 200 shot & tune the jets appropriately (primarily with the fuel jet.) Throw a wideband on there & tune it yourself on the street/track...

    Low-RPM Issue

    Hey gents, happy new year. My 06 coupe has developed an annoying/intermittent issue at low-rpm. Anytime the car has been fully warmed up & I stay sitting at a stoplight for example.. I take off part-throttle in first gear and wind to about 3k rpms, or short shift to 2nd & do the same thing. With...

    Nitrous

    DLM mentioned they haven't done nitrous setups for a while, but wouldn't mind working on my car. Made me feel a bit easy, but I know Doug does good work. - Matt

    Any leads on specific NX kits for a Gen III? Anyone know who does some good installs/tuning in the South FL area? Checked w/ Doug Levin & I'm still considering other options. Thanks in advance. - Matt

    Paint Touch-Up

    Anyone know of a good place to get some paint touched up? As a result of the driver's side window knicking the roof (as a result of a faulty regulator).. I now need a shop to touch up that area. I'm in South Florida. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. - Matt

    stupid z06

    Speaking as a VCA coupe owner, I'm not so sure you'll see a Gen III/IV body in the red/white combo. Why not just order the red & get the stripes done professionally? - Matt

    So Long Viper...for now.

    Blue, tough decision for sure! The GT-R is a beast. I'd probably be less upset about it if your car had been Blue/Silver as opposed to your White/Blue - smokin' hot. Good luck with it. Can't wait for the pics. - Matt

    Window Problem - HELP

    Over the past few days, my driver's side window started making a noise when closing the door. After it happened a few times, I inspected the window & saw red paint on the top of the glass. I then inspected the point where the window met the roof & to my astonishment the paint has actually...

    Tuning in Tampa area?

    Gents, I've got a DC Performance tune on my SCT controller that is currently being used on the Viper, however I'm interested if anyone happens to know anyone who can do custom tuning locally in the Tampa area? Called the folks @ Roe & they didn't seem too keen on assisting on a relatively stock...

    06 Coupe - Before & After

    Agreed & I have found some very helpful threads. But I wasn't really able to find any graphical or complete results in a single thread related to these common & simple bolt-ons. At the very least, someone will have just a bit more trash to sort through. :D - Matt

    06 Coupe - Before & After

    Hey all. The purpose of this thread is to hopefully help those who have a stock Gen III Viper & have been trying to find research on what benefits some minor bolt-ons will do. Most owners typically like to start small (i.e. K&N intake & filter, aftermarket tune, thermostat, etc.) & want to...

    Car Storage?

    Hey guys/gals.. been looking around for a place in the Tampa area that caters to automobile storage. Can't use the garage right now & I'd rather not keep the beast outside, if possible. Any advice or recommendations? Thanks in advance. - Matt
