    Throw up pics of your Personalized Viper License Plates

    The "official scientific" name is Vipiris Aspis Tejas - a rare (1 of 6) highly venonous serpent native to Texas - the TX ASP And of course there's two of the three Z cars -- '93 300ZX Twin Turbo (Z FLYBY) and '03 blown 350Z (FLYIN Z) -- USAF plates. The '07 350Z roadster (not pictured) is WHIZZY.

    New 2013 Viper looks like a "Chick Car"

    Thanks, Paul, for being one of the few liberated thinkers around here. I've driven high performance cars all my adult life (since the mid '60s) and absolutely love the Viper. The Viper is just as much a women's car as it might be a man's car -- it's really a car for any high performance car...

    New 2013 Viper looks like a "Chick Car"

    Re: New 2013 Viper looks like a "Chick Car" -- You Bet It Is! I really hate to burst y'all's bubble, but the Viper has always been a "chick car" -- I'm one of those chicks who has been driving high performance cars since the mid 1960s. So, "chicks" do own snakes, and we can drive 'em. I don't...

    Corvette owner moved after I moved to the street

    Nissan is still trying to beat the Viper on the Nurburgring -- they've spent millions and haven't been able to do it yet. They got a little closer in 2010, but are still a couple seconds off the mark. I actually had a special order in for one of the first GT-Rs, but cancelled the order when...

    Corvette owner moved after I moved to the street

    The conversation is a hoot. In my neighborhood, all the car lovers live within a half block of each other--three Vettes, a very wicked Cobra, a gorgeous and mean old school Camaro, a very cherry '66 Stang (also loud), and my three Z cars (one twin turbo and one supercharged) and the snake. We're...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    I know we had a lot of folks taking pictures. Is anyone going to post them to the Internet?

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    I seem to recall following a graphite ACR through a huge lake -- what a huge rooster tail of water! :drive: I wonder who that could have been?

    The Weather Channel has us up to 60% chance of rain Saturday. Bummer.

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    If the Google Maps link doesn't show a map, hit your browser back button. For some reason it sometimes slides by the map when it loads. If you have a phone that will run the Google Maps app, you can save the map to My Maps and then access it from your phone -- the Droid, Blackberry, and a...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    If the San Antonio folks were to leave at 9:00 a.m., we could get a little early morning "heart starter" in on River Road. Total drive time on the alternate route is 1:30 which would put us in San Marcos at 10:30 a.m. I-35 north to exit on 337; left on 337 to River Road; left on River Road to...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    Here's the route map and directions. I think the GPS folks can pluck waypoint coordinates from it. I think you can also plug it into Google Earth for some serious route study. Let me know if anyone has any problems. We should also be able to e-mail the map link to everyone. Viper 1/8/11 -...

    Supercharger DEALS FOR CHRISTMAS!!

    Personally, I'd be hesitant to go with higher boost on a stock setup. At the very least I'd redo the entire fuel system and drop a little bigger injectors in. Even though the engine compression through Gen III is low enough to handle the boost, the fuel system becomes the critical component...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    The e-mail inbox was full -- it's empty now, so it works (too much junk e-mail in there). They have a cheese at the dairy that will really give you a buzz in a hurry. I forgot the name of it, but it's got a real kick to it. It's a pretty easy drive (all right turns to make a caravan easy)...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    Anything planned for a cruise after lunch? If not, how about 183 south to Gonzales, turns into 111, right on 97 to Cost, right on FM 466 west to FM 477, right on 46 to Seguin? The SA folks can jump on I-10 west or continue with Austin folks up 46 to New Braunfels and hit I-35. Why FM 466...

    rear end noise with sharp turns?

    My '06 does the same thing -- most obvious when backing out of the driveway. I did swap out the diff fluid and replaced with exact recommended Mopar fluid and additive. It made no difference. I think it may have to do with the diff and fluid not yet warmed up so it's noisy when everything is cold.

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    I've been cloistered in the nunnery trying to get this Masters degree knocked out in the shortest possible time -- I'll have it finished by mid-August (1 year + 2 weeks = MS in Higher Ed.). So far it's been time consuming (writing boatloads of papers) but easy since it's what I've been doing for...

    Jan 2011 Event already planned!

    Even though it's a VCA event, can I invite a guy from work to get his freakin' Vette out of the garage and join us to see how the big boy and girls play? I've been trying to convince him for a couple months to join the "dark side" and get a Viper. He does have a saving grace -- he leaves his...

    2011 Texas Viper Round Up

    Hey Eddie, I put Belanger long tubes, high flow cats and 3" Belanger cat backs on the Slate Snake. No need for a horn; I just rev the engine and folks move out of the way. What a beast. :):drive::)

    X-mas SCT Flash Programmer Deals!

    Do you have a good tune for '06 SRT-10 with full Belanger exhaust? Stock seems to be running a little rich, particularly above 4,000 rpm. Thanks.

    2011 Texas Viper Round Up

    And of course the Round Up will take precedence over my Masters Degree courses! Once I finish in August, I may get back to having a Viper life. :drive:

    <<<Your NEW South Central Texas VIPER CLUB>>>

    Awesome job Ryan! Your leadership has made our VCA club the best car clubs I've had the pleasure of being associated with. I'm sure Jason will continue with the model you've established. :2tu::2tu::2tu:

    Race gas?

    You only need to up the octane if you alter air-fuel ratio (anything which would result in a leaner mixture) -- you will never, ever get more HP by upping only the octane (myths die hard). Increasing octane allows you to safely run slightly leaner A/F mixtures -- leaner mixture what gives you a...

    FINALLY!!! 2010 Viper Round Up Details

    Holy snake! We could easily top 100. I still want to hear 100 V-10s crank up simultaneously! :) Folks are still in awe when I show 'em last year's video of us emptying the parking lot with about 70 snakes in around 2 minutes. :drive: If anyone hasn't seen it... Snakes Empty Parking Lot
