    Advice on SCT Tune from RoeRacing

    Thanks very much MoparMap. I paid about $700 bucks for the tune, was told that the car would run better and cooler. But like I mentioned, My viper tech here in Ohio drove the car and said it runs well and pulls hard and he knows them quite well. So yeah, probably just leaving it like it is...

    Advice on SCT Tune from RoeRacing

    Hi all, I see that Roe may be out of business. I have a 2005 Copperhead. Long story, bought it from an older owner. When we received the car, it was apparent that the car had been tracked. It was in good shape, but for sure was a car that had been raced at one point. My tech went through...

    Areas of SRT to inspect during purchase

    I can give you all kinds of recent experience. I purchased one sight unseen. Had it inspected by a Dealer. Got to me with one bald tire, and a set of destroyed Spider gears among other things. Obviously had been sitting for some time. All is well now, but not after about $5,000 worth of...

    Roe Racing Defunc?

    Wow - this is a shame. I worked with Scott and what a great guy, very helpful and knowledgeable. I'll email him and see if he is still around. I have a very good reason for still wanting/needing to get advice from them. I'll post here for some advice. Don't do facebook so I guess for now...

    Gen 3 upper door panel trim

    I need this as well, as well as new Window regulators. Viperstore makes a replacement kit for the regulator that they say works great. I need both sides as neither of my windows drop when the door is opened. Let me know if you find that trim! Thank you!

    Borla Exhaust or Other

    OK, Great - thank you. BYAIC, I am assuming you mean a self tapping ***** ? or a Hanger ? Where do you install that on this system ? Cats ? Muffler ? And you know because it happened to you ? :) Thank you, John

    Borla Exhaust or Other

    Maybe I should start another thread, but have any of you noticed your exhaust systems "Growing" as the car heats up ? My Borla Cat Back, and Partsrack High Flow Cats, the chrome tips are perfectly centered in the exhaust opening on the side panels. Start the car, warm it up, and they "grow" by...

    Aftermarket exhaust question

    Borla, High Flow Cats from Partsrack. I adore the sound of the car. I LOVE it at idle, and while driving. Yesterday, constant grin as I turned up ZZ Top to hear it over the exhaust. Constant grin. A guy on my Prowleronline site advised me to go this route with the 3:55 gears. Could not be...

    Borla Exhaust or Other

    Thanks Arnold - I will absolutely do this. malcoll, yes, there is a bit of drone, but not at any cruising speeds. It is minimal IMHO and I LOVE the idle of the car, have not hit WOT yet, waiting to upgrade the rear end. But my old stock 2005, compared to this one with the Gears, High Flow Cats...

    Borla Exhaust or Other

    I have a 2005 Copperhead as well. Put on the Borla Cat back and ordered the high Flow Cats from Partsrack. I love the sound of the car. It is deeper, and has a good rumble. I know the 2005 and 2008 cars are very different, so not sure how it would sound on that car. But the Borla Cat back...

    After about 10 Yrs away, Nothing's Changed.

    Corvette's are cool cars. Like you, I have been away for a long long time. Had two Vipers in the early 2000's. I will say right up front , if you want a FUN group and want to meet lots of fun people (mostly Mopar people - I would classify myself as a Pontiac guy) buy a Prowler. I am serious...

    Wavetrac and Hydra-Lock rear ends - Advice please

    I think it makes sense to just wait - no matter how I drive. My mechanic says that the technology of the Wavetrac is so far superior a, if you plan on keeping the car, wait for the Wavetrac. Thanks! john

    Looking for a Borla Exhaust - Cat back for a GEN III

    Thanks all - I was able to get the Borla from Jegs and it should arrive tomorrow. JonB at Parts rack has a set of custom Cats that I ordered to get rid of Factory. We will see. Someone in my Prowler club had this exact set up and loved it. Hope I do as well - I will report back.

    Wavetrac and Hydra-Lock rear ends - Advice please

    As mentioned in an earlier Post, purchased a 2005 Viper - Found the Rear end to have blown pinion and Spider gears. There have been many posts about this, it is a weak link in these cars. JonB has a used one (Hydra-Lock) for sale, $895, no guarantees but it has been gone through , all appears to...

    Looking for a Borla Exhaust - Cat back for a GEN III

    Hi All - Does anyone know if someone in the US has a Borla Cat Back in stock ? I purchased one from JEGS, but they keep delaying it as it is not in stock and it is shipping direct from Borla. Second time the ship date has slipped. JonB has a Belanger but I have been told that is a much louder...

    Thinking of another Viper

    Thank you, yes, love the Hood and I know he Transmission is far superior. The Engine has more power as well, correct? But again, the car I have found needs some work, just trying to figure out if I can get it to the level I want for a decent cost. I agree, the color is quite unique and I love...
