    Does the K&N intake actually do anything?

    Any difference between K&N and Green filters?

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    What state are you in and what was the temp? Also, try this at 80 deg F. Floor it in first, you should spin all the way to about 4000 rpm+. Shift at red line, if you are not spinning in second all the way to at least 3800 rpm, your car is probably underpowered. I have ps2's and 528 rwhp...

    ACR crash?

    In an earlier race there was a C5 Z06 in front of him, he could not pass the Z. They both passed other cars, but in the straights the Z seemed to pull him slightly. NO WAY that should ever happen!:nono:

    More 2008 Dyno Numbers

    I asked the SRT engineer last fall in the forum why the 08's were dynoing so much higher than published. He said that the power was SAE certified and that the cars were running as published...ok, so what does thate mean? Everybody in here knows the 08's are running much stronger than...

    ACR crash?

    So, the Viper was restricted from a power point of view? I cannot understand why this guy could not walk that Vette at any point during the race. I have played around w/ several C5 Vettes, including heavily modded Z06's, no way they stay ahead like that. I hear the guy was a really good...

    Roe VS Paxton

    Roe VS Paxton

    Ok Ted, I misinterpreted what you meant. I know there are guys in here that can get stock Gen 1 and stock Gen 2 Vipers to run low 12.0 or even a high 11 b/c the way the cars are set up. Jamie Furman mentioned he could never get a stock Gen 3 to break into the 11's b/c of too much wheel spin. I...

    Roe VS Paxton

    Hmmm....so RTTTTT u r saying a 600 rwhp Roe will beat a 800 rwhp Paxton?

    Roe VS Paxton

    Yep...but the bean counters are too concerned about cost and bottom line. Plus, most pistons work fine if the car is kept stock. But most of us just dont keep em that way.

    Roe VS Paxton

    I think it is the other way around. The Roe is balls-to-the-walls practically all the time. The Paxton is two cars in one. A daily driver up until you hit say 3500 rpm or so, then the monster comes out at the higher rpms. Those rpms build very fast, so you can still have plenty of fun with...

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    I will send it to you in a pm to protect the Troopers "descretion."

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    Yeah, if he had of clocked us about an hour earlier when Tony and I were going at it....lets just say Tony and I might still be picking corn in orange jump suits for the New York Dept. of Corrections!:omg:

    Northeast Zone Rendezvous

    This is bull!! If we have roll bars by Auto Form can the SRT's run? Or must it be the hard top?

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    Very true! I got pulled over in Hamden about 3 weeks ago (cop let me go w/ no ticket) at about 1 am. I couldnt find my insurance card so I was digging up everything out of my glove compartment. I finally found my insurance card, but since I was taking so long to find, it, the cop said, "Dont...

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    OMG! It really does look like that! While I were not doing that, one of us was deff about to pee on himself (that will remain Top Secret!).

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    The Trooper actually did a pretty good job of getting traffic stopped. Once he got in front of us and behind Viper Tony, he moved to the middle of the highway with his lights flashing so no one could pass, then came to a gradual stop. There was really no danger in how he affected the stop. And...

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    Very true, the Trooper was a car enthusiast and liked our cars. It could have definitely gone a different way!

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    Yeah, this guy was good...he sped past us and stopped in the middle of the highway, then backed up and an angle and blocked all highway traffic...got out, then walked down thru traffic and pointed to all of us to pull over. I was NOT going to try this guy!!:nono::D

    Guess what happens when 3 Vipers....

    Get together on the highway...my wife took this photo from the passenger seat of my Viper, it is of the State Trooper showing us his radar gun...which displayed...uh...well...lets just say we were in triple digits! He threw all of us in jail, stripped us down to orange jump suits, and then we...

    '08 stereo issue.

    Its b/c of nav I think. I switched to the RB1, lost my 6 cd capability, down to one. And it sucks even more b/c when u use nav, u cannot use the cd player at all. BUT, since most Viper owners live in bum f*ck no-where and most races and events are held in the middle of bum f*ck nowhere I...

    Roe VS Paxton

    Good point. Yeah, I would go with the 08 and Manley rods and CP Pistons. And if you are going to blow the 06, I would recommend a piston and rod upgrade as well, especially if you go north of 675 rwhp. I think you should upgrade with either the 08 or the 06, but you will be faster and quicker...

    Roe VS Paxton

    Go with the 08 for many reasons, better tranny, better electronics, better tires, more n/a power, etc. There are guys out there that have run stock 08's against Paxtons Vipers, and surprisingly the cars are very close in performance. There was a guy at Saratoga this past Saturday w/ a 1000 hp...

    And, to our good buddies Mike and Julie which led us to the best tasting BBQ a country boy like me as ever tasted!
