    Viper Loses Brakes During Turn

    Several years ago I remember seeing a video of a viper losing its brakes entering a turn in 4th gear. The viper ends up rolling 5 times. I seem to remember that the passenger was a quite well known instructor. The video was removed. The explanation I heard for removing the video had to with...

    tachometer reading 98 gts?? fuel pump??

    Cavitation is a term that is usually used to describe what happens to the leading surface of an impeller when it is rotated at excessive speed in a liquid. A common place for this to occur is on a boat's impeller. What happens is that the fluid can not accelerate fast enough to follow the...

    Anyone know how many Pulses per Output shaft rotation?

    Hmm.. Weird... The number that I got from my math based on data measurements, was 23 pulses per 7 revolutions.. Or 3.285 for each one revolution. Big difference from 4 per revolution. Which just couldn't be possible... Maybe my car isn't running the stock 3.07 rear axle ratio? BTW the...

    Anyone know how many Pulses per Output shaft rotation?

    Hi, I'm trying to hook some instrumentation up to my Viper's speedometer input/transmission speed sensor output. I am trying to figure out how many pulses there are per output shaft rotation of the transmission. This must be an integer. Anyone know? Thanks!

    The ultimate fixer-upper?? (has link now :) )

    I've seen this car in person at TMR. I talked with the present owner (nice guy). I also talked with the instructor. Sounded to me like a terrible track car. BTW Jay Lopez, from our North Texas VCA was the instructor.

    5 point harness?

    Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine ever getting a ticket for this, and I've even had a ticket once for no high beam indicator. Reality test: Has anyone out there ever received a ticket for this? I didn't think so.

    I'm in trouble now. She just doesn't get it.

    Re: I\'m in trouble now. She just doesn\'t get it. Install it in a steel bodied Viper, and you'll have an anti-matter car!

    Crankshaft Pulley Mess

    I usually recommend changing the engine oil after a car has overheated. Oil breaks down very fast at elevated temperatures. Why take a chance?

    Thinking of changing color on my Viper

    I think WRECKING a Viper is a greater crime. (The PO did it!) Anyway, I do sometimes feel guilty about the color change. The same sort of guilt I feel when I never get around to calling after spending the night with some girl. The guilt is worth it, in both cases...

    Wrecked Vipers, Salvage Titles & The Evil Insurance Empire

    Just think about how much more money they could save by installing a high revving 4 cylinder engine like in the Honda S2000 instead of that V10!
